Rose Marie Basaraba, Margaret-Ann Armour, A Remarkable Life
Posted by Vi Hughes on Jun 13, 2019

Dr. Margaret-Ann Armour

This Tuesday we heard from long time member Rose Marie Basaraba, who gave a fitting tribute to Margaret-Ann Armour, who was scheduled to speak to us on Tuesday. Margaret-Ann Armour may have passed away just over two weeks ago, but the legacy she gave to many through her mentorship and passion for science lives on.
 
Margaret-Ann was born and raised by a single mother (her father died during the war) in Scotland and received her first two degrees from the U. of Edinburgh, worked for a few years and then earned her Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the U. of Alberta in 1970. She held post docs at both Universities and then joined the U of A Chemistry Department in 1979. Her field of research was in hazardous chemical waste management, with a career spanning over four decades, but her true legacy lies elsewhere.
 
Margaret-Ann was a lifelong champion of women in science and worked tirelessly to promote the sciences as a career for women every chance she got. She was also known for her patience, kindness and inspirational mentorship among both colleagues and students.  She championed women as a co-founder of WISEST (Women in Scholarship, Engineering and Technology) and the WinSETT Centre. Over the years she became known as a leader and public speaker promoting science education and the sciences as a career for women. She served as the associate Dean of Science, the board chair of St. Stephen’s College and held many other positions throughout her life. She was also a Rotarian, being a charter member of the Rotary Club of Glenora and a past president.
 
Over the years she received many honours for her tireless work as a champion for diversity and women in the Sciences, the Governor General’s Award, the Canada 150 Ambassador award and for her work as researcher and teacher with the Montreal Medal from the Chemical Institute of Canada and the prestigious 3M Teaching Fellowship. In 2016 she was honoured in having a public school named for her in Windermere, Edmonton. She also received multiple honorary degrees from various institutions including University of B.C., NAIT, McEwan University and Concordia College with the most recent being from the U of A, presented at her bedside the day before her passing.  
 
She will long be remembered for her selfless, kind, patient approach and for her abiding passion for Science.

Rotary Club of Edmonton Strathcona Golf and Barbecue Thursday June 20
 
Last Chance to sign up for our Rotary Club's Fun Golf & Barbecue!
 
Yes next Thursday June 20 is our Summer Solstice big event. Golf starts at 1:30 PM to select our best ball golf teams, and the barbecue starts at 5 PM, all at the Millwoods Golf Club. Please sign up on the link below for the golf and/or barbecue ASAP! The weather looks great and you are guaranteed good fellowship and a great  time. Cheers!
 
 

The June 20th Fun Golf Day is a good chance to have some Summer fun with other Rotarians and friends.

It can also 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 the link does not work, copy and paste this URL into a web browser: https://goo.gl/forms/KI18EAn74oYk2A662)
 
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
 
Thank you for all your help,
Adriana Martinez
Volunteer Manager
