Members and guests attending our weekly meetings are very important to us. Based on your comments we are able to produce many more educational, inspiring, and entertaining weekly meetings.
Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you please send us your comments?
May 6. I rather like the idea of sage hanging in the kitchen.
-- Conrad Hall, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
May 7. Great content. Merci.
-- Doug Dyer, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
May 11. Nice promo of Alberta.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
May 13 – Digital Humans. I saw this technology in its early stages years ago at a Disneyworld show, and it has advanced leaps and bounds. Soon, we will have no means to be able to discern real from fake except in person, and that will be the next step.
-- Todd Colbourne, Rotary Club of Kingston, District 7040
May 20. As usual, a great collection of speakers. Keep up the great work!
-- Patrick Gibson, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
May 20. Digital humans and AI. Scary!
-- Neil Rogers, E-Club of Canada One District 5370
April 29. What a way to spend Victoria Day morning with a coffee and doing Rotary E-Club make-ups!
-- Neil Rogers, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

New members' corner
Joining a Rotary Fellowship offers numerous benefits to Rotarians, including:
1. Networking and Friendship: Fellowships provide an opportunity to connect with Rotarians from around the world who share similar interests, hobbies, or professional backgrounds. This fosters camaraderie and lasting friendships.
2. Shared Interests: Fellowships focus on specific areas of interest, allowing members to engage deeply with their passions, whether it's a hobby, profession, or cause. This can lead to greater personal fulfillment and enjoyment.
3. Professional Development: Many fellowships are centered around professional interests. Members can share expertise, gain new insights, and stay updated on industry trends, enhancing their professional growth.
4. Cultural Exchange: By joining international fellowships, Rotarians can learn about different cultures, traditions, and perspectives, promoting global understanding and goodwill.
5. Service Opportunities: Fellowships often organize service projects related to their area of interest. This provides additional avenues for Rotarians to contribute to community and humanitarian efforts.
6. Enhanced Rotary Experience: Participation in fellowships can enrich the overall Rotary experience, making it more diverse and engaging. It provides another dimension to the Rotary membership beyond club meetings and local projects.
7. Leadership Opportunities: Fellowships offer leadership roles within their groups, providing members with the chance to develop and hone their leadership skills in a supportive environment.
8. Travel and Events: Fellowships frequently organize events, conferences, and travel opportunities, allowing members to meet in person, explore new places, and participate in unique activities.

Food for thought
A second offering – And perhaps some inspiration
The Michigan Dental Association Foundation has organized a free dental clinic at the Dort Financial Center (formerly the IMA Sports Arena on Lapeer Rd.) in Flint on June 14-15. (Setup and tear-down will occur on June 13 and 16.) Volunteers are sought to help with general support activities. The organization was looking for Rotary volunteers.
Rotary Jukebox
For a small donation, your favorite musician will be featured on one of our next e-meetings for everyone to enjoy.
Every week we'll have a draw and the lucky person will see their song featured!

Program Donations
Our E-Club is a dynamic club comprised of ordinary working and retired people who acknowledge that Rotarians are people who are generous with their time and their resources.
Our club and the program you have just enjoyed, either as a member or a visitor, is funded only by donations.
We are developing ideas for fundraising with our members who are scattered across Canada, USA, Central America, and Europe, but we do need your help.
As you have not had to buy lunch or travel to attend this program, please make a donation of a minimum of $10.00, considering you're saving in time and cost in appreciation for the experience you have enjoyed.
