Identity Part II

On May 1^st, Paige Reeves led the second of our three meetings focusing on Rotary Club of Edmonton Whyte Avenue's identity and what can be done to enhance it.

Drawing on her enthusiasm for assisting her clients at AdaptAbilities and the insight it has given her, Paige challenged those in attendance to consider ways to make our club more inclusive.

From its beginning just over eight years ago, our club was one of the many that helped Rotary evolve from its origins of exclusivity to a makeup that would be more in-line with its mission statement, as validated by our Four-Way Test.

Rather than settle for the level of diversity our club has already achieved, we would be better served looking for barriers that we may inadvertently create as a group and as individuals.

It could very well be these barriers that deter prospective productive members from attending our meeting and finding belonging within our club.

Thank you to Paige for facilitating this thought-provoking session.

Interested volunteers are requested to sign-up before Thursday, May 10 in order to take part! This is to ensure that Roots for Trees has time to prepare the materials.

Make sure to wear comfortable clothes and bring your 'Rotary at Work' shirt if you have one!

Please feel free to email me (kggmcleod@hotmail.com) at anytime if you have any questions.

Thank you for your support and I hope to see you all there!
