W5: The rise and fall of a Stanley Cup champion; November 12 - 18th, 2018

Posted by Jim Ferguson

Greeter this week: Vicki Horsfield

Rotary is adapting to the changes and needs of its members and potential members. Our club, Rotary E-Club of Canada 1, has just developed an Associate Member classification to enable more people to participate in Rotary in a more flexible way. I recently attended a meeting at the Carpinteria Morning Rotary Club in Antigua, Guatemala. They are a small satellite club under the auspices of a Rotary club in Carpinteria, California. Their membership, like ours, is far-flung geographically so some members were attending the meeting on Skype and several others attended the meeting with a phone call on their cell phones. They were very interested to learn that our club meets on Zoom so they are now connected with our very own Peter Denooy to learn how Zoom can benefit their club. And I now have another banner for my Rotary wall!

"Forest Man" (submitted by Kitty Bucsko)
A powerful testimony to the lasting impact of a truly visionary person.
Velma Noble, RCCHP, Calgary, Alberta, D-5360

I watched the Forest Man video. It is amazing what one person can achieve when they set their mind to it.
David Werrett, Rotary E-Club of Canada One, D-5370

Squeezing in a Rotary meeting while preparing for a dinner party, can only be done by E-clubbers. Great speaker!!!
Elly Contreras, Rotary E-Club of Canada One, D-5370

Whatever your circumstances, don't let them imprison you. It is up to you to decide how you will live your life and be free.
Marvin Walters, RC of Western Fort Worth, Texas, D-5790

I did the meeting and watched the program on healthcare in the home. It certainly struck a cord. I would much rather have had my late father cared for in his own home, as he was dying of cancer, than be stuck in the ignominious conditions of a hospital.
Delwen Stander, Rotary E-Club of Canada One, D-5370

Family of Rotary

During a recent soup and sandwich fundraiser with the Rotary District 6330 Polio Plus fundraiser at PDG Martin Ward's home in Grand Bend, Ontario, Fellow E-Club members Kitty Bucsko and Lynne Ternosky finally met in person. $12000 was raised that day by the donors who dropped by. Many neighbours, friends and other supporters also attended.
These socials are held monthly with opportunities to serve, including other club events.

A Little Humour
Submitted by Kitty Bucsko

Me: I was doing an overnight at a hotel away from home. I took my computer down to the bar to do some data entries.
I sat down at the bar and I asked the bartender , 'What's the wifi password?'
Bartender: 'You need to buy a drink first!'
Me: 'Okay, I'll have a beer.'
Bartender: 'We have Molson's Canadian on tap.'
Me: 'Sure. How much is that?'
Bartender: '$8.00.'
Me: 'Here you are. OK now, what's the wifi password?'
Bartender: "youneedtobuyadrinkfirst"; No spaces and all lowercase.'

Food for Thought

"Reason helps us to understand that other people, wherever they are, are like us, that they can suffer as we can. ... So I think reason is not just some neutral tool to help you get whatever you want. It does help us to put perspective on our situation."
-Peter Singer

Rotary Jukebox
For a small donation, your favorite musician will be featured on one of our next e-meetings for everyone to enjoy.
Every week we'll have a draw and the lucky person will see their song featured!
