Updates on Club Activities
Wine Survivor June 12th
Polar Park Brewing Wine Survivor
Wine Survivor, an event that allows you and your friends to integrate your love of Rotary with your love of alcoholic beverages takes place on June 12th at the Polar Park Brewery, 10416-80 Avenue (the old Bee Bell Bakery site).  
 
Tamara Larson has 500 tickets to sell to this event.  
 
Tickets are $10 with the donation of a bottle of wine worth at least $15, or $25 without a wine donation.  
 
Lets make sure to support this fun and worthwhile initiative.  
 
The winner is set to receive at least 64 bottles of vino, so it might be a good time to build that wine cellar you've always wanted.
 
Contact Tamara Larson or Kathy Strobl for tickets and more information.
Gem Munro of the Amarok Society
Amarok Society Gem Munro
At the April 17th meeting Gem Munro gave a compelling presentation on the Amarok society.
 
 
 
Gem and his wife, Dr. Tanyss Munro, founded the Amarok Society in 1992 to support their efforts in providing education to First Nations children that were not being adequately served by the existing school system.  
 
The Munros then set their sights on improving the prospects of the poorest people in Bangladesh.

Identity - Part 1
 
Last week was the first of three meetings focusing on who we are as a club, the role we want to play in our community, and how we tell our story.
 
It was an informative evening led by Kristin Jennings, who outlined the benefits of clearly defining these critical elements.
 
Kristin highlighted that the people we interact with will remember how we made them feel, more than what we said or did. This one concept set the stage for the entire evening.
 
Steve McRory gave an overview of communications planning, and how developing our plan will allow us to tell our story with greater impact.
 
Stan Bissell gave us a founding member's perspective, reviewing our club's 8-year history and leading us through some fun Rotary trivia.
 
The evening's discussions included the nature of service, our unique vision for Whyte Avenue Rotary service, and how service impacts our community.
 
These conversations will serve as the foundation for our next Club Identity meeting, Tuesday, May 1st.
 
Thanks to all that participated, and for those that were unable to attend, please join us in May and add your voice to the discussion.
 
Fellowship Weekend
Posted by Tim Onciul
 
On March 17 and 18, some members of our club had the opportunity to spend the weekend in beautiful Jasper, Alberta.
 
A bit of snow, a bit of sun, and a lot of fun was had skiing, snowboarding, shopping, hiking, and taking in the scenery.
 
Our exchange student Andreas showed off his snowboarding skills with our local patrol member Scott, and Tim.
 
As per our annual ritual, Jasper Pizza replenished us with excellent pasta and beverages – we even got our same spot in the restaurant for I think the 4th year (they need to rename that corner of their restaurant ‘Rotary corner’).
 
We look forward to seeing you all out there next year to enjoy the world class beauty we have in our own backyard.
 
No Meeting March 20th
 
Tuesday is our day off in recognition of all the hard work we do.
 
Please join us again on Tuesday, March 27th at Rooster Cafe for our next regular meeting.  
 
Weekly Brain Teaser
Here is the first of our weekly brain teasers, shared at our meeting and offered here for your consideration and entertainment:
 
 
Arrange five cups or glasses on a table, three in a vertical line and then two horizontally to the right, forming an L shape.
 
The three cups lined up vertically each have some juice (or any liquid) in them, and the other two are empty.
 
The objective is to rearrange this set so that every other cup has juice. So, from top to bottom, and then from bottom left to right, it should go juice… empty… juice … empty… juice.
 
The rule is, you can touch or move only one cup.
 
Our Tuesday gathering solved this in under a minute. Ready... Set...

Rotary On Parade
 
Last Tuesday, Tatiana Naranjo from the Old Scona Interact Club presented us with a concept to help raise awareness and demonstrate the inclusive spirit of Rotary. 
 
Edmonton's annual Pride Parade is a big event on Whyte Ave and an opportunity for everyone to show support for our LGBTQ community. The Old Scona Interact Club has invited us to partner with them and other clubs to be a visible part of the celebrations on Saturday, June 9th.
 
Applications are due by the end of the month and the students are already working to meet the March 31st deadline.
 
Watch for more information as plans are finalized.
