After a series of three earthquakes -- two in Japan and one in Ecuador -- killed hundreds of people, injured thousands, and caused billions of dollars in damage late last week, Rotary members in those regions have created disaster relief funds to help survivors. In Ecuador, the powerful 7.8-magnitude quake that struck Saturday night has killed more than 400 people, with 2,500 injured. Those figures are expected to rise. Rotary District 4400 established a service fund to raise money for relief efforts. Contact District Governor Manuel A. Nieto Jijon for information on how to donate. In Japan,...
 
The 2016 Council on Legislation may well be remembered as one of the most progressive in Rotary history. Not only did this Council grant clubs more freedom in determining their meeting schedule and membership, it also approved an increase in per capita dues of $4 a year for three years. The increase will be used to enhance Rotary’s website, improve online tools, and add programs and services to help clubs increase membership. The Council is an essential element of Rotary’s governance. Every three years, members from around the world gather in Chicago to consider proposed changes to the...
 
Representatives from Rotary clubs worldwide will gather in Chicago 10-15 April to consider changes to the policies that guide Rotary International and its member clubs. The Council on Legislation meets every three years and is an essential part of Rotary's governance. The representatives -- one from each Rotary district -- review and vote on proposals that seek to change Rotary's constitutional documents and on resolutions that express an opinion or make a recommendation to the Rotary International Board of Directors. Get live updates and daily vote totals on My Rotary beginning 11 April....
 
From the April 2016 issue of The Rotarian There is a new ritual in American life. It goes like this: Whenever you invite someone to dinner, you must inquire about any special dietary needs. Because today, it seems that nearly everyone has drawn a line around foods that cannot pass their lips. This could be because of allergies, moral qualms, lifestyle choices, health issues, or simple preference. The person might be a vegetarian who eats fish, a carnivore who hates carbs, a glutton who avoids gluten, or a time bomb waiting to be set off by a nut. (Asking ahead makes for a more pleasant...

Classification Talk- Des Fernando
On Tuesday, we heard from Des Fernando, (pictured) about the things that he has done over the years.
 
Des grew up in Sri Lanka and came to Canada as a young man. He was trained as a computing engineer at the U of Waterloo. He joined Telus just prior to their transition to digital technology, and was involved with that for many years.
He then moved on to do his own consulting in communications, helping to set up fire fighting communications in Alberta. He then completed a Masters in Information Technology and continues with consulting today.
He has worked as a volunteer with Habitat For Humanity , KIVA and many other charities. He also likes to travel and see new places, and has recently been all across North America on his Honda Gold Wing.
 
Welcome to our club, Des, we look forward to getting to know you better.

Introduction to the Incoming Board
Dmitri gave us an overview of his vision for our club for the upcoming 2016/ 2017 year. He would like to encourage implementing provision for succession in all club positions, through bringing in assistants the year prior, and training of new board members, to ensure  continuity going forwards. There will also be a budget amount allocated for training. He would also like us to consider putting more emphasis on funding for local groups, especially young children and mothers in need. 
 
Dimitri then presented the list of members for the incoming board for the 2016/2017 year, which will take over in July.

Apr 22, Then there's that...?!

A blonde notices that her coworker has a thermos, so she asks him what it's for. He responds, "It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold."

The blonde immediately buys one for herself. The next day, she goes to work and proudly displays it.

Her coworker asks, "What do you have in it?"

She replies, "Soup and ice cream."
