I had the pleasure to present our club's $1000 scholarship to Erika Hurl from Vimy Ridge Academy on Thursday June 8th.
In talking to her teachers Erika is admired for her tenacity and resilience. She has been involved in many activities, including being the Student Body President, doing morning announcements and volunteering at different community events.
Members are reminded about the UPDATED 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. Click on "Read more..." or title 'Police Check' to read more about the relaxed submission procedure which has been greatly simplified.
Failure to complete the police check means members and non-members will not be able to work on any Rotary program that involves 'Vulnerable Persons'.
Contact Hans Granholm, 780-466-5566 for more information.
Ken Sutley lines up before striking another perfect ball!
Val Solash and Barbara Koenig watch and learn.
18 golfers and 25 diners had fun on Tuesday. The Bang the Ball for Bangladesh day went well The weather was dry and cool with scattered mosquitoes. An unfortunate traffic accident had taken place on the Walterdale bridge closing off access for more diners but other than that all was a success.
The 2 person best ball golf competition was won by Con B and Eric G, by one stroke over Val Solash and Ken G. The most "honest" golfers were Loida and her husband Jim.
Back at the clubhouse, Jim Petty sunk nine golf balls in a row to win the (30 payers x $5./each) putting championship from Eric Germain who could only sink eight in a row. Bruce Flesher was close till the end.
Nearest the Pin in one shot holes were won by Eric Germain and Ron Brown (I think. Les C. and Judy Brown did well also). Longest putts were by Val Solash, Jim Peddie and Ken Germain (I think. Con B. and Barbara Koenig were dynamite!)
Thanks Bill and Lorraine Skelly for arranging the Kinsmen Club house and golf deal once again.
Golf balls were donated by IS2 (Eric). Thanks Ken Sutley for helping. Thanks to all who donated prizes especially the auction items.

A chicken and potatoe salad and green salad meal was enjoyed with lashings of fresh fruit. Wine and Beer seemed to be popular.
Another great day for golf and Rotary fellowship in our club's long tradition of over 40 years of hosting a golf tourney.
Like last year, the Kerr's are putting on the whole show by providing food, entertainment and beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic).
Skip is planning to have a premium drink available, e.g. Scotch, old Port, Vodka. Heather will advise us at future meeting and she will provide a sign-up sheet where you can pre order and pay her in advance.
All revenue from ticket sales will be destined to Kiva Micro Finance, with emphasis on borrowers in Ecuador as suggested by the Kerr's.
Ignite Change is a global gathering for human rights defenders, protectors, promoters, facilitators… those with a concern about the current human rights climate we live within and are working to build peace and take action globally and locally.
Participants will examine how to address four key issues from a human rights lens: human trafficking, arms, drugs and hate. Global citizens need to amplify voices and perspectives on these issues and translate concerns into non-violent direct action.
Whether you are curious about human rights and need some direction or inspiration, an active human rights defender, or one with knowledge and experience to share, this gathering will provide an opportunity to network and build a deepened collective impact.
We are inviting all Rotary Clubs in the districts to sponsor an international student or delegate to attend this Global Gathering.
Outcomes of the conference will include a report of public policy recommendations on the issues at hand and a documentation of stories and ideas.
The Global Gathering has been brought to you by the John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights with the support of the Tribal Chief Ventures, City of Edmonton, Government of Alberta, and Lions Club of Edmonton Golden Gate.
Rtn. Jerry Kelly from Victoria, formerly with the RC Edmonton, joined us at the zoo and gave us an invitation to join other golfers from around the world to their 54th golf tournament in Victoria BC. The "International Golfing Fellowship of Rotary" is one of the oldest Rotary Fellowships.
