Project Amigo
Looking for a unique  one-week vacation experience? Edith Martin, pictured, member of the Edmonton North East Rotary Club and member of the Project Amigo Canada Society Board of
Directors and Merle Taylor from the Edmonton Glenora Rotary Club shared  this interesting and refreshing opportunity with Club members.
A Project Amigo Volunteer Week is a true Mexican Cultural Experience.  Each week is designed to give the volunteer a balanced perspective. The students and their families have great needs. They also have a rich and ancient culture and are keen to welcome you, the 'Amigo'.
 
 
 
 
Project Amigo Canada Society believes in creating extraordinary opportunities and experiences for students and volunteers by offering work weeks in Colima, Mexico. 
Volunteers visit Colima to work, meet the children, and learn more about the people and culture of western Mexico. Work can include repairs to schools, helping children with their English homework, or reading with children. Volunteers are encouraged to fill extra suitcases with books of all kinds (West Jet waives the baggage fees for these suitcases). The only books that many children see are their school textbooks and are delighted  to have a choice of many to challenge their English reading skills.  The suitcases are left behind and given to students who have no luggage.
 
Project Amigo Canada Society believes in creating extraordinary opportunities and experiences for their students and volunteers! They work intentionally to design activities, tasks and events that welcome you into the community and offer you the chance to build genuine long-lasting friendships with the families and young people they serve. Speak to Club member, Dennis Freeman, whose entire family participated in this exceptional vacation experience a few years ago.
 
The program (vacation) fee includes:
*private, well-appointed accommodation
*daily housekeeping service
*all meals, snacks and non-alcoholic drinks
*airport pick-up and drop-off
*all transportation to and from volunteer sites
* all materials, tools and equipment
*all field trips and cultural events
The bilingual volunteer coordinator accompanies the group at all times.
 
Planning your next vacation?  For more information and costs (registration) for volunteer weeks throughout the year, sponsorship opportunities and an 'experience that will change your life' are available on-line at www.canada.projectamigo.org

Anna Syrianou new member induction
 
This past Wednesday Donna Hutton introduced Anna Syrianou as our newest member. Anna’s classification is Beauty Consulting. We would like to give Anna a warm welcome to our club.
Newcomer Meeting Oct 10, 2018
 
 
Interactive Newcomer  Meeting  Oct 10 –  U of A Faculty Club 
 
Our goal was simple.  Have fun, get to know others in new ways, examine truth through: our experiences; a few fun brain facts; gender differences to see if women and men share similar truths, and Rotary service opportunities.
 
We opened with the question: What makes Rotary a unique leadership group to lead TRUTH?
 
Anna Syrianou was inducted and warmly welcomed. We also welcomed prospective members Sam Lily, Jeanette Goertz, Karen Peddie, and Bob Stewart.
 
Thanks to Rotarians who brought each newcomer, and those who welcomed these prospective members. A BBQ will follow for this new group on Nov 2nd, thanks to Carin and Stephan’s generosity and hospitality.
 
 
Video produced by Carin Jansen van Vuuren
 
 
 
 
We discussed unique ways to value Rotary’s treasured  traditional foundations, while venturing forward at the same time to consider shared strategies that will keep Rotary relevant for ourselves and for others in a new era.
 
We played a gender circle game to ask: What is truth and how does each gender lead it best? Not best compared to the opposite gender, but best truth practices within our own gender. Women listened to men; men listened to women. Most of us will give new attention to leading truth based on the wide range of wonders we heard from both genders!
 
Thanks to Patrick’s brains and persistence, along with Graham’s added wisdom, we caught a hilarious video on the evening’s topic at  – https://brainleadersandlearners.com/2008/10/13/men-use-logic-women-use-emotion/
 
Our guiding video question asked:  Do you see your gender in this comedian’s idea of brain facts for men and women?
 
Tables teamed to help us look at truth in Rotary’s focus of SERVICE ABOVE SELF.
 
We used talking sticks to ensure all Rotarians and guests found opportunities to speak up and feel heard!
 
Our topics included: Wellbeing, STEAM, End of life quality; Literacy skills; and, New membership for Rotary. Rotarians then pitched their service project proposals to the whole group. We closed by reciting our Rotarian 4-way-test with new appreciation, thanks to so many who shared. 
 
Thanks Carin for the talent poured into awesome photos of our event and for our video that will follow! Thanks Donna for tracking participants and setting up terrific space that allowed us to move, meet new members, laugh and think together!
 
Thanks Patrick for hanging in for us when the technology went south! Thanks Vince for leading us and filling in gaps! Thanks Rotarians for your grace and service to each of those who came to interact with us and, thanks Rose Marie as well as Eric Solash for greeting folks and helping at the door. Where to from here? Let’s decide service projects  together as we collaboratively build on truths we started here!
