2016 Rotary International Convention

Posted by Vi Hughes on Jun 23, 2016

On Tuesday, we heard a report from our incoming club president, Dmitri Papanicolas, who attended the Rotary International Convention in Go Yang City, South Korea, on behalf of our club.

The convention was high tech affair, attended by over forty five thousand Rotarians from all over the world. The majority of attendees were from Asia, India, Japan and Africa this year.

The convention was held in the Kintex centre, a very large modern convention facility, about thirty minutes travelling time by direct rapid transit, north of Seoul. Security was maintained by the use of microchipped ID cards for all attendees. There was also a mobile phone app that was developed specifically for attendees that allowed them access to the schedule of events, maps of the area, entries for personal schedule planning, and communications with other attendees.

The sessions were available in many different languages, and simultaneous translation into many other languages could be heard either through your mobile phone or by the use of a small rented unit. The convention opened with the flag ceremony and was followed by addresses from International Rotary President Ravi as well as from the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, and the UN Secretary General.

There were then many breakout sessions on all kinds of topics of interest to Rotarians, both inspirational and informational. Some of the take home messages were the need to make our giving more sustainable, and the need to ensure more local control over the use of donated funds. Some of the talks attended by Dmitri, concerned the campaign to end slavery and also the campaign to end the use of orphanages around the world. The talks and slides presented at the convention will be available soon, as webinars, on the Rotary International website for all members to view.

Thank You note from PDG Julius Buski:

Dear Rotary Colleagues,

Thank you very, very much for taking time out from your schedules to volunteer at Porkapalooza It was a great pleasure to renew acquaintances and make new Rotary Friends.

Through your efforts we were able to raise a total of approximately $14,000 for our Fort McMurray Fire Relief Fund.

Service Above Self in its purest form is what you have exhibited. Thanks again.

Cheers- Julius

P.S.

Good day everyone,

I was a little tired when I got home yesterday evening and consequently missed counting one of our money envelopes.

The final count, now confirmed by our bank, is just over $16.000!

Thank you again to everyone for your assistance.

Cheers - Julius

Police Check

Posted by Hans Granholm on Jun 03, 2016

President Harald reminded members about the District Volunteer Security Policy, DOWNLOAD HERE.

This policy was generated from the requirement of our insurance company providing liability coverage in case of issues arising from members and non-Rotarians working with youth and other vulnerable members of our society.

The policy provides that all involved Rotarians and non-Rotarians complete a vulnerable persons police check. See below or click 'Read more...'

Contact Hans Granholm, 780-466-5566 for more information.

District 5370 Police Record Check Process

The procedure applies to both Rotarians and non-Rotarians involved in any Rotary sponsored vulnerable person activity.

Submit your application with the Club’s letter of introduction (obtained by Hans Granholm) to the local police service.
After you receive the certificate, submit the original (photocopies are not accepted) to the address in my signature below or alternately deliver to the District office.

Certification lasts for a period of three years.

Police procedure:

RCMP

Certification is free of charge and sometimes they will complete the certification while you wait (if you have time to wait).
