Planting Seeds of Change: Youth Inspiring Hope This May
As the blossoms of May begin to bloom and the world around us wakes from its winter rest, there’s something deeply symbolic about this season of renewal. It’s a time to sow seeds — not just in gardens, but in hearts, minds, and communities.
And perhaps no one embodies this spirit better than our young people.
Across the country and around the world, young people are stepping up with purpose. Whether it’s organizing community clean-ups, creating mental health awareness campaigns, or launching social enterprises with real-world impact, young leaders are reminding us that age is no barrier to making a difference.

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?
March 30.
Amazing how mind controlled bionic arms can be designed and made to operate in such a war-torn country like Ukraine. It is the old proverb that "necessity is the mother of invention" in action.
-- David Werrett, Rotary E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
March 31. I really appreciate the speaker program today. I have saved it to share and view again. Great timing with the birth of my first Grand Child
-- Neil Rogers, Rotary E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
April 7. Great video about the blind chef and the video on recycling plastics was a real eye opener.
-- Patrick Gibson, Rotary E-Club of Canada Zone, District 5370

June is Rotary Fellowships Month – a time to celebrate the friendships, shared interests, and global connections that make Rotary truly special. Whether you're passionate about cycling, cooking, jazz, or service above self, Rotary Fellowships offer a meaningful way to connect with others and deepen your Rotary journey.
As we mark the final month of this Rotary year, let’s take a moment to reflect on the values that guide us. The Four-Way Test isn’t just a banner in our meeting room—it’s a compass for how we live, lead, and serve.
As we mark the final month of this Rotary year, let’s take a moment to reflect on the values that guide us. The Four-Way Test isn’t just a banner in our meeting room—it’s a compass for how we live, lead, and serve.
Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
These principles help us stay grounded and forward-looking.
Let’s also remember the incredible work of The Rotary Foundation—our shared vehicle for doing good in the world. If you haven’t yet made your contribution this year, now is the perfect time. Every gift, no matter the size, helps create lasting change locally and globally. Together, let’s finish the year strong—with gratitude, generosity, and purpose.

A little post from Rotarian Neil
As a follow-up from the post last week of Newfoundland’s tsunami, Neil has sent a couple of photos of his recent trip to Newfoundland.
The first is Signal Hill in St. John’s -
And below, Neil is with Noel Eutace, Past District 7810 Governor (2020). District 7810 is now merged with District 7820 to become District 7815. Signal Hill is shown in the background.
And a video shared by Rotarian Kitty
A "near miss" on the American side of the
St. Clair River approaching the Twin Bluewater Bridges.
Footage taken by drone - right side is Canadian shore.
Port Huron, Michigan is the left shore.

New members' corner
My great aunt was a nun who spent most of her career working in hospitals and she could read a hospital chart. She saw that, because I was in a polio ward that was overcrowded to begin with, I wasn't getting the care I needed.
She knew of Sister Kenny – a nurse from Australia who had developed a physical therapy program for paralyzed polio patients. The program would prohibit the muscles from dying off from inactivity. So my mom actually took me out of the hospital.
My grandmother took care of my older brother, and I would have all my muscles exercised for an hour. I was too young to remember but she said that I would scream in pain from the stretching the muscles. That was many hours a day over a six-month period.

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!

To close the meeting, Rotarian Mac Purcell from the Rotary Club of Paddington, UK, recites the Four-Way Test of the things that Rotarians think, say, or do.
