Hello everyone~ As President-elect it is my pleasure to plan the Induction Dinner-and these plans are well underway. Please mark your calendar for the evening of Thursday, June 22nd. The dinner is being held at the Burlington Art Gallery and catered by Heavenly Gourmet. I know Christina well and can promise a wonderful meal! I am also excited to share that Dean Rutty will be our Master of Ceremonies. I invited him as he is the Rotarian who introduced me to our Rotary Club back in 2010 and he is fondly remembered as a member, and Past President - I know he is looking forward to joining us and seeing familiar faces.
Lawrence Leung. President-elect is handling ticket sales which will begin early June and Leslie Alison and Ron Lambert have both graciously offered their support. Assistant District Governor for 7080 John Zinkie will be in attendance and perform the "official" Rotary duties. Bernie is here to help me-so nothing will go amiss...Thanks to you all!
Please mark the date in your calendars and plan to join us as we thank Mike for his service as President, introduce your 2017-18 Board of Directors and SAA. I am truly looking forward to serving you and our club as President and accept the challenge of RI President-Elect Ian Risely as stated in his slogan- 'Rotary Making a Difference". ​ |

gender inequality and extreme poverty
Oct. 19, 2017
My name is Sam and I am an Associate on the Community Events & Organizations team at Plan International Canada in Toronto. As you may know, Plan International Canada is one of the largest charities in Canada and a world leader in the fields of gender inequality and extreme poverty. Our Because I am a Girl initiative is a global movement to address power relations to help girls learn, lead, decide and thrive. I know that our global goals align very well - like Plan International Canada, Rotary Club addresses global issues such as disease eradication and maternal and newborn health. I applaud your organization for its dedication to providing humanitarian service, here in Canada, as well as internationally. The purpose of my note today is to introduce myself and Plan International Canada as we are currently in the midst of one the most exciting times in our 80 year history! We have launched a five-year strategic plan that hopes to reach 20 million children and inspire 8 million actions from Canadians. We want to ignite a new movement in Canada and around the world. In order to achieve this ambitious goal, we hope to improve our partnerships with like-minded organizations across Canada. Given our similar missions, I would be honoured to have the opportunity to attend one of your meetings to formally introduce myself and speak about the work that Plan International does on the global stage. It is always so wonderful spending time with like-minded individuals that are just as passionate about changing the world as we are! I understand that you book your speakers well in advance so please do not hesitate to suggest a time that may seem quite far in the future. |

Obakki Foundation
Nov. 16, 2017
Thank you for your interest in having me speak to the Rotary Club about the great work being done by the Obakki Foundation. What sets us apart from other charities is that 100% of all donations (every penny!) goes directly to the project(s) being supported. All administrative costs are covered by the Obakki fashion line (www.obakki.com). We also have teams on the ground working within communities to ensure the success of our programs, which facilitates a connection between donors and the people they are helping via regular updates. We work in South Sudan (drilling water wells in villages without access to clean water) and Cameroon (mainly with orphanages). I think it would be best to focus on either South Sudan OR Cameroon (although I would touch briefly on the other area of focus) to keep the talk to a manageable length. I've included links to both areas on our website to give you a sense of the work so you can determine which projects would best suit your objectives. Our water projects in South Sudan: Our work with orphanages in Cameroon: Information about our founder, Treana Peake: How we work with donor partners: I've known Treana for over 25 years and can attest to this work being her purpose in life. I've worked with the Obakki Foundation on and off in a variety of capacities since its inception (they are based in Vancouver so my work is done remotely and I also join her on annual trips to Cameroon). They do amazing, life changing (and saving) work! Please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information. Have a great weekend, Lori |
