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?
October 14. Thank you for posting the Jane Goodall video. I watched it three times and ended up in tears each time as I did when I learnt she had died. Even though it is quite clear she would ship Musk, Trump, Putin et al into space she did it without being vituperative or verbally nasty. What a truly amazing human being.
-- Gillian Taylor, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
October 13. Loved the puzzle of motivation speaker. There were some cool stats in the presentation.

World Toilet Day celebrates the importance of toilets and raises awareness of the 3.5 billion people still living without safely managed sanitation. It’s also about taking action to tackle the global water and sanitation crisis, which has a profound impact on public health, education, gender equity, and persistent inequalities.

Environment
What is the Jindo Sea Festival?
The festival is held in Jindo County, in Jeollanam-do province,
South Korea.
• The festival is built around a natural phenomenon: during certain times of year, the tides recede so far that a land path appears between Jindo Island and the smaller Modo Island in South Korea. (Source)
• This path is typically 40 to 60 meters wide and stretches up to ~2.8 kilometers at its maximum extent. (Source)
• The period during which this “sea road” is exposed is short — about an hour or so — so timing is crucial.
• The festival is held in conjunction with that timing, so visitors can walk along the seabed path, often collecting shells, clams, seaweed, etc.
Because the sea parting phenomenon is governed by tides, the festival dates vary each year and are set to coincide with the predicted lowest tides. (Source)

COMMITMENT TO PEACE
Earlier this month, on November 11, Canadians joined millions around the world in observing Remembrance Day. We honoured the sacrifice of those who gave their lives in the cause of peace and freedom.
Rotary shares in that commitment to peace — not only in remembrance, but in action.
Rotary shares in that commitment to peace — not only in remembrance, but in action.
Through the Rotary Peace Fellowship program, more than 1,700 fellows have been trained since 2002 to reduce conflict, promote reconciliation, and strengthen communities. And every Rotary Foundation project — from clean water to education to maternal health — helps address the root causes of conflict.
As we carry November forward, let’s keep that spirit alive. By supporting Rotary’s mission, we are honouring the sacrifices of the past and investing in a more peaceful future.
