Speaker- Gord
Gord demonstrates his wheelchair
New Quantum Q 6 wheelchair. Everything on it is electronic
Gordon does his own grocery shopping with it. The wheelchair weighs 600 lbs with him on it. Older wheelchairs have a tendency to fall over if you go too fast. Muscular Dystrophy put money towards it as well as RCBL.
He returned the van that RCBL helped to modify.
Good Cars sold the van with no markup and donated proceeds to the club
For the wheelchair, there is now an app that can help to diagnose problems over the phone.
Speakers- Jonah & Matea
Jonah, our outgoing Rotary Youth Exchange student, gave us an update on his upcoming exchange year in Finland. He is working hard to learn some of the language before he travels there in early August.
Matea, our student from Adventure in Citizenship, was delayed by bus troubles and will be rescheduled to speak another day.
Yonas, Noel, Rahim and Cami exploring Burlington waterfront

The RYE students (Yonas, Rahim, Cami, Jonah and Noel) very much appreciated RCBL shirts, Rotary water bottles, Burlington pins and Hamilton Ticats pins from the Burlington Rotary clubs!
