The Inspirational Moment was a gem. People such as Maggie Doyne who was recognized for her work in the Kopila Valley of Nepal is our hope for the world and our future.

How we can help young
I very much enjoyed this important topic. The numbers are staggering, and with future automation, and technology it is a huge worry for these young people. I am sure in the future, the young will be able to overcome the many obstacles ahead of them.
Larry Reynolds, RC of Campbell River Lunch, D-5020
Charles Mann's Ted Talk was thought provoking and a call to action but are the right people listening? Each one of us has a responsibility to leave the world better than when they found it.. are we doing this?

How to Survive 10 Billion
The Ted Talk speaker was interesting and depressing. His recommendation for "wizards" and "prophets" to work together does not seem very likely at present.
I also read and enjoyed the article about how to make contributing to TRF more interesting and fun. I will take some of these ideas to my club!

News from the Rotary E-Club Family: Jeff MacFarlane
This past week has been a pretty big Rotary week in our house.
As many of you know, my daughter Abi is on a long-term exchange in Italy. She left on the Labour Day weekend and will be returning on Canada Day 2019. She lives just outside of Terlizzi and goes to school in Molfetta on the south east coast. I'm trying to get her to join us for a Thursday morning coffee. You can follow her on Instagram at abi.in.italy.
This past weekend, my youngest daughter Claire found out that she too will be going on exchange starting next August. Her first orientation is scheduled for January and there will be two more in March and May before her departure. She doesn't yet know where she will be going but her top choices at the moment are France, Belgium and Spain.
The last piece is that Max who is the inbound exchange student hosted by the Rotary Club of Okotoks came to live with us over the weekend. He is scheduled to be with us until mid-February. He is from Merano, Italy in the north-east near the Swiss and Austrian borders. As an avid snowboarder he is looking forward to more snow and a long winter season. Max is our eighth student. We have previously had students from Sweden (now studying in New Zealand), Germany, Venezuela (now in Argentina), France (now studying in Montreal), two from the Netherlands and one from Spain. I will try to get Max to join us for Tuesday night chats while he is at our house.
