RYLA: September 2 - 8, 2013
Greeter this week: Archie Skirving
From the tip of the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario - Greetings, and welcome to Canada's first (and best) on- line Rotary Club, the Rotary Club of Canada One.
As I write, the sunlight is sparkling on the water of Lake Huron, the sky is blue, and, it's a glorious summer day.
I've been a Rotarian since 1969, with my vocation as an Anglican priest assigning me to parishes in different Ontario cities, and, therefore several different Rotary Clubs.
And travelling, I've had the privilege of "making up" in several American and Canadian cities, as well as Barbados, and the famous Scottish cites of Edinburgh, and Glasgow - always a friendly greeting and a warm welcome.
So now, in ways that my pen and ink background find amazing, I welcome you to this week's meeting - as you join our Club in the warmth and comfort of your own home. I'm so glad you're here. Please - come again - our door is always open for you.

Inspirational Moment
May the poor find wealth,
Those weak with sorrow find joy.
May the forlorn find new hope,
Constant happiness and prosperity.
May the poor find wealth,
Those weak with sorrow find joy.
May the forlorn find new hope,
Constant happiness and prosperity.
May the frightened cease to be afraid,
And those bound be free.
May the weak find power,
And may their hearts join in friendship.
And those bound be free.
May the weak find power,
And may their hearts join in friendship.

“I think the classification presentation I watched was a great example of what should be done for a classification presentation. It was interesting and informative, Nicole started in Rotary with our club before moving on to e-club due to personal and work demands. She will do you proud, good luck and enjoy Rotary”.

Submitted by Chris Langley
It's obvious that the advice Ashton gives in this movie has not been given to several generations of kids and so this needs to be heard by today's adults too. We need to teach this essential truth, no matter whose frayed nerves it hurts....
