Greeter this week: Keith Evans
"The Importance of Fellowship"
"The Importance of Fellowship"
I am writing this Greeter Message while on a short business trip away from my home outside London, having already been to Amsterdam and now staying at a hotel just outside Edinburgh in Scotland. When I am able, I try to attend a Rotary Club meeting when I travel, to experience the wonderful fellowship which makes Rotary so rewarding. This is particularly important for an E-Club member, as online meetings do not provide direct fellowship opportunities. Sadly, the timing and agenda on this trip did not allow time to attend a meeting. I did however reflect on fellowship within Rotary. Our E-Club provides fellowship options for members through online in person fellowship meetings once a month, and a weekly half hour coffee sip when members can see each other online and chat about anything and everything. I remain surprised that fewer than half our members ever seem to attend these get togethers. E-Clubs can be rather impersonal and if E-Club members don't make the effort to link into these face time opportunities, they are missing out on a very important aspect of Rotary. For non E-Club members attending this meeting, let me assure you that E-Clubs are not just a website. We do provide for face time options. For our own members attending this meeting, let me encourage you to make the time in your schedule to join the rest of us who do attend our fellowship/coffee sessions. They are fun, and an important part of Rotary service.

It impressed me that the Mothers were in the lead for immunizing the children against Polio. It disgusts me that there are ignorant Imams that tell lies about the vaccine, because it is the children that suffer.

I enjoyed the Polio update on Nigeria. It re-enforces why i like being a Rotarian. The TED talk on using re-cycled plastic as currency was really interesting. I would like to learn more about that.

Disability rights have evolved and will evolve organically. We can only thanks those who continue to increase the employment possibilities for the many types of disabilities that exist.
Jean Michel Crepin, Rotary E-Club of Canada One, D-5370
The lived experience of a diplomat with a disability is a very powerful story that conveys real issues that need to be resolved in society on a global level.
