The Rotary Club of Edmonton Whyte Avenue is proud to be a sponsor of two dynamic youth clubs:

The Rotaract Club of the University of Alberta
The Interact Club of Old Scona Academic High School

Thank you to Kate Peters, our Rotaract Chair, and Eli Schrader, our Interact Chair, for all of their hard work in making this happen!

Watch for updates and interactions with these two dynamic clubs and the amazing things these Rotary youth will achieve!

Recap: Engineers Without Borders

Posted by Tamara Larson on Jul 12, 2016

On Tuesday, June 28, we heard from Ashley Meeks and Engineers Without Borders in regard to water projects.

Water and sanitation is one of the key areas that Rotary focuses on in serving humanity in our international communities.

There are many challenges presented when working on water projects; the initial construction is one part. There is also sustainability.

How do local communities get parts? How is it maintained? Sustainability is extremely important.

Many times, when the wells stop working, it is simply a small part, such as an o-ring that costs only cents on the dollar, yet a complete rebuild can happen.

Clean water is essential to well being. Let's keep working together to make this happen for those who need it.

Thank you Ashley for taking time out of your busy schedule and presenting to us.

Meeting on Tuesday, July 12

Our own Membership Chair, Marilyn Mucha, will be presenting to us on the highlights of the Rotary International Convention in Seoul, Korea.

This was one of the best Rotary International conferences that has been presented and many great ideas have come out of it for Rotary clubs to consider moving forward.

Join us to hear about this great convention and some "throw away the box" ideas!
