How Not to be Ignorant about the World August 15-21st, 2016
Posted by James (Jim) Ferguson
Greeter this week: Frank Yakimchuk
The great thing about the Rotary E Club, Canada 1 is that you get to visit with fellow Rotarian's in other places, in this case, Yellowknife, NWT.
In the photo, you will see from left to right, Newton, Biswanath and Marc our prospective new member along with me, Frank, the new President.
This depicts' us after a combination Fellowship and Business Meeting at a local eatery, we refer to our group as the YK e-Pod.
Please enjoy our weekly program and if moved, leave a few dollars in the kitty so our member's can do more good deeds for others.

The short video about the Rotary exchange program was very inspirational. Our club participates in the program. It is interesting watching the students grow and gain confidence during their time spent in our community.

Liked the story about the Challenge Coin - I have a Rotary 4 Way Test one! The video regarding Rotary membership was extremely relevant. And I truly enjoyed the program - it really shows that in each of our clubs' we have members who may not be the most gregarious or "extroverted" but they are a key component of what makes the Club successful. Fascinating story! Would have loved to have been able to meet her Rabbi Grandfather and hear his perspective of things the way they are today.

Very awesome site, easy to use and a tremendous resource, very motivational.
Mike O'Connor, Swan City Rotary Club, D-5370
I particularly enjoyed the video on the value of Youth Exchange and the Introduction to your meeting. Another excellent meeting.
