Maxine Hetherington, Classification Talk

Posted by Vi Hughes on Feb 14, 2018

On Tuesday this week, we heard from Maxine Hetherington, whose classification is Family Physician. Maxine grew up in a family of five children in rural Alberta. Her family then moved to Ontario, where they lived in Sudbury and also Ottawa. She initially studied nursing, but decided that it was not for her, she was more interested in Science, so she went on to study Physiology and eventually gained her PhD in Science. During this time she married, became a mother of two children and then a single mother. She subsequently went on to study Medicine and in 1998, she completed her residency as a Family Physician in Alberta.

She then took a rural locum position, where she did clinical, hospital and emergency work. She said that it was a steep learning curve at first. She loved rural medicine and stayed on practising rural medicine in Leduc County for over seventeen years. During this time, she was living in Edmonton and commuting out to Leduc each day. Recently she decided to move her practice closer to home, so she joined a practise that deals with what she refers to as ‘city diseases’, in Edmonton.

She enjoys cycling, and has cycled in many places around the world. She also enjoys playing golf, but emphasised that she does not keep score. She was prompted to join Rotary in an effort to become more connected to the city, and things that are happening in Edmonton. We would like to welcome her to our Rotary club and look forward to getting to know her better.

Rotary Interact Club- Update

Posted by Eric Germain on Feb 09, 2018

The Rotary Interact Club at J. Percy Page High School has had good school year, and is looking forward to more good meetings and upcoming events in the New Year.

They had good fundraising events at Halloween and Christmas. Their next fundraiser is the Valentine Rose Sale. Roses generously donated by Heather de Kok.

They had two visits to Ronald McDonald House for the Meals that Mend Program, providing the groceries and preparing and serving supper for 100 very grateful people. They have one more trip planned in March to RMH.

LINK TO SIGN UP AS A DRIVER

The Rotary Interact Club members organized a fall outdoor cleanup of their school grounds and the Millwoods Park. It earned them an Emerald Environmental Award. They plan to have another enviro- project in the spring.

Carin Jansen van Vuuren, our Rotary Club Youth Chairperson presented at a recent Interact Club meeting, an invitation to all 65 signed up Rotary Interact Club members to apply for the 6 spots we have for the Rotary Youth Leadership camp in early May.

The club designed a new long sleeve shirt and hoodie with the modern Rotary look. The club members were very happy to receive them in January, and are proudly wearing them around their school.

Club President Chhavi Kaushal has been selected to fill the one position we have, to attend the Adventures in Canadian Citizenship Camp in the spring.

The Rotary Interact Club is scheduled to be our guest speakers at an April lunch meeting.

Yours in Rotary Interact,

Oil Kings and Polio Plus

Posted on Jan 10, 2018

Attention all Rotarians and guests.

It’s my pleasure to be officially launching this season’s End Polio Now campaign with the Edmonton Oil Kings.

Last year we raised more money to End Polio through Oil Kings tickets than ever before, and Tim Schilds and I have set a goal to beat that number this season. In fact, Tim wants to hit 1,000 Rotary tickets sold for the 4:00 PM game Sunday, February 25th vs the Swift Current Broncos, which would be a phenomenal accomplishment (and I’d owe him a steak dinner!)

This season we have added a fun social aspect to the event – starting at 3 PM sharp, the North Mezzanine Club will be open exclusively for Rotarians to mix and mingle and get to know one another. There will also be in-game recognition for the Rotary Clubs in attendance, as well as a cheque presentation celebrating the money raised!

This season, Rotary tickets are $29, with $11 from each ticket sold donated to end the fight against Polio around the world. Rotarians will be able to purchase tickets by contacting me, purchasing from Tim, or purchasing online via the link below:

https://oss.ticketmaster.com/aps/oilkings/EN/link/promotion/home/a18ac9dcd99485a83628163317e4fd46153b4582

Hold CTRL and click the link above and it will take you directly to the correct location. The promo code is ENDPOLIO

The link above won’t allow purchasers to buy more than 8 tickets at a time, and it works best on desktop or laptop computers (Smartphones and tablets don’t work so well). If you’re having trouble with the link, or for larger orders please contact me directly via email, or 780-409-2494.

Tickets are available starting now, so order soon.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Yours in hockey,

Jason Adams.

Patrick Gibson, New Hope School Fundraising Presentation

Posted by Vi Hughes on Aug 31, 2017

New Hope School

Our Rotary group has partnered in a joint venture with the Rotary Club of Pretoria to help raise funds for the New Hope School in Pretoria. Patrick Gibson has put together a presentation that he will be making to the other rotary clubs in our area to encourage them to help us with this venture. Our goal is to put enough funding in place for us to be able to apply for a Rotary International matching grant.

Patrick gave us the same presentation he will be making to other local rotary groups. It included a short introduction on the New Hope School, followed by a video that has been prepared by the New Hope School. The New Hope School has been one of the projects of our club for some years now, and most of our members are well aware of the work they do in schooling for handicapped children in the Pretoria area. They provide many services above and beyond the usual schooling activities, such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and many others, as needed by their students.

They receive only basic funding from the local government, so must fundraise to provide these other services. Some of the specific projects our funds could be used for would be a specialised playground, or programs to provide technical skills such as kitchen skills, nail and hair salon skills and sewing skills. Patrick has also put together a ‘Go Fund Me’ page on the web, on which people can get more information, view the video and make contributions. We will also be adding a link on our Rotary web page to this site.
