The Rotary Club of Fenelon Falls was recently serenaded by the Fenelon Community Choir. Took a trip around the world with toe-tapping music and a sing along. A wonderful way to get into the Christmas spirit with the melodic voices of the choir.
Bob thanked the choir for the entertainment and presented member Mary Henderson with a cheque to help defray the costs of their recitals.
Our always enthusiastic and ever engaging District Governor Juanita started her presentation with Ciamar a tha tou. A Gaelic saying - How are you? Juantia told of her upbringing in Cape Breton where she learned Gaelic as her first language.
Promoting Peace one of the causes that Rotary supports.
Juanita enlightened us of her journey with family around the world returning to Canada. She had always been involved in community events. Her husband was/is a Rotarian and Juanita had always supported him at Rotary events. Decided to join Rotary in 2007 as a member of Collingwood South Georgian Bay and the rest they say is history.
Juanita mentioned the District Conference coming up next weekend at the J.W. Marriott – The Rousseau Muskoka. Engaging speakers will include an Indigenous author discussing the need to retain indigenous languages.
Juanita’s position as DG is to support the clubs within #7010 with whatever projects they are engaged in. Juanita mentioned Mark Wafer – a former owner of numerous Tim Hortons franchises who developed ways to support members of the disabled community to work in a Tim Horton’s.
International Convention being held in Singapore in 2024 and then coming closer to home with Calgary on June 21-25 2025. Make your plans now for a visit to the Rockies.
Juanita, in her training for D.G., met Gordon and Heather McInally, this years President of Rotary International. His logo and image for this year is Creating Hope in The World. Rotary is an ever-changing organization where we work at improving the lives of our communities.
On going projects
Juanita promoted the idea of Living a Legacy and Leaving a Legacy. What do we want for the generations to follow?
