Lessons from a thousand years of island sustainablity Sept 7-12, 2015

Posted by Juan Carlos Reyes 
 
Greetings Rotary Friends.  I am delighted to be serving as E Club Canada One  Sargeant at Arms for the Rotary Year 2015-16.  I am looking for ways to bring some fun and fellowship to our weekly meetings.  One very successful terra based program is to be involved in what is called a ‘Happy Buck Celebration’.  Each week, members make an announcement about something that is positive or celebratory, and in sharing one’s story, a donation in made which supports Foundation.  We are suggesting a donation of $5.00 - $10.00, but we are also happy to receive more generous donations.  
 
Please join me in this new initiative to make our club more cohesive and enjoyable while at the same time, Being of Service. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Your submissions can be sent directly to President Jim and your payments can be registered through  the Pay Pal option offered on our website.
Thanks so much for your continued efforts to support our Club and Rotary!  We look forward to hearing your good news stories!!

This is my first experience with an e-meeting. I liked the inclusion of other rotary topics  such as YEX. the site was easy to navigate.
thanks!

The thoughtful inspirational greeting by PDG Al was most appreciated.

The entire program, this week, was both informative and inspiring. It provided a positive perspective for the future.

“Love the Ted thing.  great speakers”

“Laura was an interesting speaker and seeing how she overcame barriers facing women in her country. We are so lucky here in Canada, as women, to be able to have so many opportunities, which is sometimes taken for granted. Literacy is one of my club’s important issues both locally and internationally”

Food for Thought
 

“The Rotary Foundation is not to build monuments of brick and stone. If we

work upon marble, it will perish; if we work on brass, time will efface it; if we

rear temples they will crumble into dust; but if we work upon immortal minds, if

we imbue them with the full meaning of the spirit of Rotary as expressed in our

Objects and with the just fear of God and love of our fellowmen, we are engraving

on those tablets something that will brighten all eternity.”

— The Rotary Foundation, THE ROTARIAN, April 1929
