Comments from our guests and members
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?
June 13. The video of granting the Magpie River in Northern Quebec legal person hood was quite remarkable and prevented the river becoming a producer of electricity.
June 16. I was bit lost on the TED talk and the mysteries of the universe, anti matter and dark matter, etc. but at least there is something coming out of the work being done in the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva. But I was impressed by the Orpheus and the Underworld - the Sabian cymbals that were shown so prominently in the music video. I had seen the Sabian cymbals used by a Cologne orchestra – WDR Funkhausorchester of Cologne. I just thought that it was amazing that an orchestra in Germany is using cymbals made in New Brunswick.
June 23. The TED talk "Is your partner the one"? was very thought provoking. Fortunately, I think we tick all the boxes after 49 years of marriage!
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
June 17. An interesting perspective on marriage and commitment.
-- Todd Colbourne, Rotary Club of Kingston, District 7040
Why Indigenous Forest Guardianship is Crucial to Climate Action. Great ideas. Why shouldn't Indigenous Peoples have more involvement with our environmental stewardship?
-- Eve Tollenaar, Rotary Club of Grande Prairie Swan City, District 5370
The Phonecall. Very convenient format.
-- Rick Gibson, Rotary Club of Strathcona Sunrise, District 5020
May 27. What an interesting concept in having a river have legal rights as a person. An “Ah ha” moment.
-- Neil Rogers, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

• Having unexplained gifs or expensive items and/or sudden changes in appearance (clothing, accessories, make-up, nails, etc.)
• Giving scripted or “canned” answers to casual questions

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.
