Please join us for the annual Christmas Party of the Rotary Club of Edmonton Strathcona on December 9, 2014.
It will be held once again at the Edmonton Golf and Country Club. This is an event not to be missed. Dennis Meneely. who entertained us musically at the 40th, will do so again with oldies but goodies sprinkled with the odd Holiday favourite. The Zebra Child Protection Centre are once again the specific choice of donations this Christmas season. The Centre has specified they are especially short of pyjamas for the 12 – 18 age range, both girls and boys. For those in the know, I am advised that the ‘onesies’ are popular amongst girls; otherwise tank tops/bottoms for girls and t-shirts/bottoms for boys. To ensure total Club participation if you are not attending the dinner, Rose Marie will accept donations from members prior to Christmas at which time they will be delivered to the Centre. NB: for those attending the Christmas Dinner, do not forget the wrapped and hopefully useful item recycled from your home for the fun gift exchange that has become popular at Christmas’ past. Dress: Professional Dress – no denim allowed in the Club Cocktails are at 6 p.m. and dinner will be served at 7p.m.. Please register as soon as possible. Deadline for tickets: Registration deadline¨December 5th payable in advance to Rose Marie or Diana or on-line Need technical assistance? Contact Hans Granholm, 780-466-5566 |

Gem Munro will discuss the ambitious and dangerous work of his organization, Amarok Society.
May 26, 2015
Topic cont... Gem Munro will discuss the ambitious and dangerous work of his organization, Amarok Society. Bringing education into the worst slums in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Nigeria in a unique way, Amarok Society teaches mothers to teach their children and their neighbours' children. Despite enormous obstacles, these once illiterate women are guiding their communities to a more prosperous and peaceful future. Bio: Gem Munro has devoted his life and career to improving educational opportunities for disadvantaged people across Canada and abroad. Pursuit of this objective carried him into residence in unfortunate communities across most of Canada, before carrying him overseas. He is presently a Director of Amarok Society, a registered Canadian charity that provides education programs to the very poor in Bangladesh. As well, Gem is an author and artist whose current book (which he has here today) is a bestselling collection of stories about some of the extraordinary people he’s come to know in the slums of Bangladesh. (Sale of his book is a major fundraiser for Amarok Society.) For their work, Gem and his wife, Dr Tanyss Munro, have recently been named recipients of Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medals. http://amaroksociety.org/wordpress/index-html/the-munro-family/gemmunro-5/
