Build a School in the Cloud: March 31 - April 6, 2014
Greeter this week: Paul Falvo
Greetings from Cambridge Bay, Nunavut.
Greetings from Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. Usually I'm in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Being in the E-Club means I can attend a meeting from anywhere.
People often ask how a Rotarian in an E-Club does community service. After all, service is the ultimate goal of Rotary.
Fortunately, our options are many - including volunteering for an E-Club project (could be online or local), or with a terra club, and even simply doing volunteer work in your community.
Here's an example ... in the first quarter of 2014, I did service by:
- Volunteering for Radio Days with a local terra club
- Volunteering for bike auction committee with a local terra club
- Joining the E-Club's Dolly Parton literacy committee
- Coordinating the E-Club business card exchange
- Recruiting new members to the E-Club
- Promoting the E-Club on FaceBook; and,
- Volunteer firefighting
- Volunteering for bike auction committee with a local terra club
- Joining the E-Club's Dolly Parton literacy committee
- Coordinating the E-Club business card exchange
- Recruiting new members to the E-Club
- Promoting the E-Club on FaceBook; and,
- Volunteer firefighting
Wherever you are, there is lots that needs doing!

“Thank You Lynne, Paul, Frank and Gord for all the hard work and for getting our e-club involved in such a great Literacy program. As a former teacher, parent, and grandparent what better gift can we give to others than that of encouragement to read.”

New Members Corner
One of our newest members, Biswanath recently visited Greece and arranged for a meeting with Sofoklis Tsougenis and Athina Goudi President & District administrator of D2470.
The Greek Rotarians were interested in a skype chat with President Bruce to exchange information.
"This event gave me an excellent feeling …Rotarians have no boundaries….they are simply Rotarians….regardless of where ever they are located".
Juan Carlos also made an effort to meet Rotarians while traveling.
He did two make ups in Cancun; The club was a lot of fun, Juan was there for the presentation of a child's wheel chair from Canada and the club presented a banner. JC took a few pictures and have shared them HERE

Food for Thought

People can do amazing things when they work together as a team, especially when they are fully devoted to what they are doing. This group of kids performing a great song called “Cups” is an example of the apparently simple yet factually complex being pulled off beautifully because they are very well synchronized, obviously having fun and at the end the final product is great.
