Alma, Children's Education Foundation
May 24, 2017
The Alma Foundation was created by Alan Harman after a lengthy trip through South America with his family in 2008. He was deeply moved by the poverty and grace he experienced in remote indigenous communities in Southern Peru, and felt compelled to help in some way. After consulting development experts in Peru and Canada, he decided that investing in children’s education would provide the greatest opportunity to improve the quality of life over the long term in local communities. He first donated to local charities but, after witnessing their poor results, developed a set of guiding principles that he felt would have a sustainable impact and founded the Alma Children’s Education Foundation in 2010 based on those principles. Since then the charity has grown significantly and has been profiled in the Globe and Mail, and Reader’s Digest. Alma was also awarded the Peruvian Chamber of Commerce “Award of Special Recognition” in 2013.
Melanie Rodriguez is the Executive Director of Alma. She graduated from the University of Western Ontario’s Ivey School of Business with an Honours Business Administration degree as well as a Certificate in Sustainability. Experienced in non-profit and program consulting, she has completed 9 consulting projects in 5 different countries. During a 2012 volunteer trip to a Children’s Home outside of Cusco, Peru, Melanie fell in love with Latin America and has returned to Cusco to build upon her initial experience every year since. Previously, Melanie worked as a Financial Analyst for TD Bank, a Communications Specialist for Ivey’s Building Sustainable Value Research Centre, and as a Sustainability Lecturer for The University of Western Ontario’s Continuing Studies program. Most recently Melanie worked as a Program Associate in Nicaragua with the non-profit Global Brigades. |

An Overview Evening for Toronto Ribfest 2017 7:00PM on June 9th @ the Club Office
You and your Spouse/Guests are cordially invited to drop into the Club Office for some Wine & Cheese … and … some conversation about Ribfest. As new members of Rotary Etobicoke, many of you have never been to Ribfest nor have a real understanding about the event. Yet, as you already heard when you joined our Club, you have been strongly encouraged to come out and ‘volunteer’ at the event. In anticipation of that, we felt you might appreciate and benefit from some general conversation and Q&A about Ribfest before you arrive on site. What better way to have that kind of discussion that over a glass of wine / beer and some snacks. We will do it at the Club Office. We have maps and displays that can be helpful. We expect the evening will be very relaxed and will run until about 8:30PM … or so. There is ‘No Charge’ for the evening! Just come and enjoy!! Please RSVP by email to: jdf@flemingadvisors.com … or … Call: 416-436-0062 |

Jun. 10, 2017 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
As you know Franklin Horner CC is holding their 30th Anniversary Party and Grand Re-Opening Event on Saturday June 10. I would like to announce that part of the Franklin Horner program at 2 p.m. is Rotary Etobicoke's sponsored Suitcase Theatre performance. This is a great event and I am hoping as many Rotarians and families as possible will attend and enjoy the show celebrating Canada's 150th birthday. This is the first of Rotary Etobicoke's six sponsored performances of Suitcase Theatre's "All Aboard - An Adventure Across Canada" at schools and community centers in Etobicoke. The fun, interactive, educational show celebrates Canada's 150th birthday and takes children on a journey by train, canoe and dog sled to learn about the people, the different cultures and the beautiful geography that make up our incredible country. The original musical production carries messages of friendship, co-operation and overcoming obstacles while helping children safely explore themes such as inclusivity, bullying and acceptance. With Rotary Etobicoke as a community partner Suitcase Theatre will be able to bring All Aboard - An Adventure Across Canada to children and their families in Etobicoke who would not normally be able to enjoy a live coast to coast adventure showing the diversity of our people and places through song and dance. Franklin Horner Community Centre, 432 Horner Avenue (between Kipling & Browns Line)

BIG IDEA EVENING MEETING Enjoy some fellowship and special presentation
John Sewell was Mayor of Toronto from 1978-1980. The big changes the Reform Council brought to Toronto in the 1970s was an emphasis on social democracy and social justice, making significant changes in how local government functioned and what it accomplished. Those two changes rippled through Toronto politics in the 1980s and 1990s, but have all but disappeared with the creation of the megacity in the late 1990s. This talk will discuss the impact these changes made in life in Toronto, and what we need a return to them. |

Steve Rutledge Laos
Oct. 11, 2017
Steve Rutledge – President of AAVIL, Rotarian on the International Committee responsible for Asia at Whitby Sunrise Club, recipient of two Port Hope Civic Awards, the most recent in 2011 for Philanthropy, is a recipient of two Paul Harris Awards and The Spirit of Rotary Award. Steve was co-owner of a medium sized computer firm for 22 years. Since then Steve has served on several boards and committees including the municipal Culture Committee, Skatepark Committee, Capitol Theatre Board, Canadian Spinal Research and others. The remote villages of Laos have never recovered from the ‘Secret’ war of the 1960′s and early 70’s. While rich in culture and tradition, their education, healthcare and hygiene conditions are severely lacking. The average lifespan is only 58 years and average age is only in the mid to late 20’s, caused by poor quality water, poor hygiene and general poverty. BUT with your help, a positive difference has been made in the lives of thousands of villagers.We have completed over a dozen school projects, 10 water projects bringing water to several villages and a hospital (imagine a hospital with no water!) and have completed well over 20 toilet banks for schools and villages. We have also provided over 3,277 water filter systems (over 16,000 people!), along with critical hygiene training for families, schools and hospitals to promote a longer, healthier and happier life. That’s not all! We are also sponsoring a lot of primary and secondary school kids, 2 university students and 2 interns, plus we have installed numerous solar panels to bring light to the poorest of villages. Lots of bicycles were distributed to get even more kids to and from school and there were a number of smaller projects completed too. |
