Stefan Cherwoniak, Junior Chamber International
Posted by Vi Hughes on Jun 19, 2019
On Tuesday this week we heard from Stefan Cherwoniak, the Executive VP for Junior Chamber International (JCI) Canada. JCI is a worldwide organisation with over two hundred thousand members and forty-six hundred local groups in one hundred and twenty countries.  It was founded in 1918 with similar goals to Rotary and is focused on the age group of eighteen to forty. There is one local group in Alberta, based in Edmonton, with thirty-five members.
 
JCI aims to connect and develop young people, to create positive change in themselves and their community. They provide leadership workshops, public speaking training and mentorship training opportunities and encourage their members to dream big, get involved and be active. JCI gives young people opportunities through volunteer work and through partnering with other organisations to take on larger projects than they could do alone. Their goal is to create measurable, sustainable change. They look for projects in areas affecting health and wellness, education and resources to help others in need.
 
The JCI group in Edmonton is looking to partner with a local Rotary group so that we can pool our talents and work together on some local projects to create some small lasting change in our community.

The June 25th Fun Golf Day is a good chance to have some Summer fun with other Rotarians and friends.

It can be an opportunity to support some worthwhile cause. Last year we raised food, money and awareness for the Edmonton Food Bank. Previous years we’ve assisted Operation Eyesight, Polio Plus and The Amarok Society.

With the flood of refugees into Bangladesh recently we felt it to be a good time to dedicate this Golf Day to The Amarock Society once again.

“Bang the Ball For Bangladesh”

An Auction and Putting contest will be the highlights of this fun raiser.

Auctions (Both Silent and Noisy) for items left over from the Oil King February event.

Including Hotel Nights! Oiler Photos, Framed Sketches, Spa treatment. Maybe More!

Please plan to attend.

Guaranteed fun or Double your Golf Balls Back!

The golf will start at 2 PM at the Millwoods Golf Course in Edmonton.  The 9 hole golf tournament will be a 4 player Texas Scramble. No previous golf experience or skill required. An experienced golfer will be the Team Captain, and the team plays the best ball on each shot. The golf package includes your nine hole green fees, shared power golf cart, practice range balls to warm up, use of the practice putting green, a tee gift which includes 3 Taylor Made golf balls, golf tees, ball marker, divot repair tool and a bottle of water. The golf package cost is $55 per player.

The Barbecue Dinner will start at 5 PM at the Woodvale Community Center at the Millwoods Golf Course. We will have the prime rib burger dinner with buns, fixings & condiments, fries, Caesar salad, coleslaw, vegetable pasta salad, dessert squares, fruit, coffee & tea, and a cash bar. The barbecue dinner package cost is $25 per person.

The combined Golf & Barbecue package cost is $75 per person

Free Footie Volunteers Needed: 2019 Spring Season
Posted on Mar 12, 2019
 
I am reaching out to your Rotary/Interact Club in efforts to find volunteers for the upcoming Spring Soccer Season.
 
Our organization is called Free Footie, and we provide an afterschool free soccer program. This upcoming season, we have 11 different game locations located throughout Edmonton with 60 schools participating and close to 2,000 kids playing.
Game Days are Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday from 3:45/4:00 PM – 4:45/5:00 PM.
Season runs from May 6 – June 21st.
 
The roles that we have available are Field Marshal, Referees, and Coaches.
 
The Field Marshal responsibilities include:
  1. Arriving 15-20 minutes before first assigned game.
  2. Inspect field before play to ensure it is free of objects that might be a hazard.
  3. Direct teams to appropriate game field.
  4. Inspect field after play and address teams to clean up before leaving.
  5. Be emergency evacuation lead.
  6. Report any incidents or hazards to Volunteer Manager.
 
The Referee responsibilities include:
  1. Watch over the game and enforce fair play.
  2. Inspect player equipment and field equipment for safety hazards.
  3. Referee certification would be an asset but not required.
This is a perfect role for someone who is new to refereeing and looking to learn in a less-pressured environment. This position is paid.
 
The Coaches role is seen as mentor for the kids. Soccer experience isn’t necessary but we do look for volunteers who are looking to be a positive role model/mentor and have had experience with kids.
 
All volunteers will require a vulnerable sector check from the EPS.
 
It would be fantastic if you can share this with your members.
If anyone is interested, they can sign up HERE.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
 
Thank you for all your help,
Adriana Martinez
