Need to make up meeting?
Greeter this week: David Werrett
The photo is of a 1970 Mazda RX-500 prototype with a rotary engine on display recently in England.
Greetings to members and visitors.
One of our recent weekly meetings contained a message from the outgoing Zone Director, Bryn Styles, and he said about us belonging to an incredible organization and spoke about the “power of what we do”. When I was a Club Membership Chair I would tell prospective members about the possibilities open to them as a member of a Rotary club and if they had an idea for a project and could sell it to other members you could have the power of a Rotary club acting on your idea.
When I saw this photo it made me think again about the power of Rotary, the power members have and how members of our own club have undertaken the literacy project with the Dolly Parton Imagination Library in Tuktoyaktuk to provide children from birth to the age of 5 with a book a month.
Think about the power you have by being a Rotarian.

“I have really enjoyed the little food for though written by Mother Teresa.
As a guest attending this meeting, I admire all Rotarians’ giving attitude and their mission to make this world a better place. We might not be able to bring change in one day, but these little persistent efforts are the determining factors to making a positive difference in our world.

I also enjoyed the little history lesson on when Rotary clubs were started in some of the other countries, I am so happy, that I have taken an interest in a truly international organization".

“This was a great session as it was a follow-up to Paul Polak's Ted talk which we had as a topic sometime last year. It is incredible how much difference a determined man can make. His work is truly remarkable.”

How's your Attendance
Regular attendance is essential to a strong and active Rotary club. The emphasis on attendance is traced back to 1922 when Rotary International announced a worldwide attendance contest that motivated thousands of Rotarians to achieve 100 percent attendance year after year. Many Rotarians take great pride in maintaining their 100 percent record in their own club or by making-up at other Rotary club meetings.
Although the bylaws of Rotary require members to attend only 50 percent of all meetings, the custom has emerged that 100 percent is the desirable level. Rotary stresses regular attendance because each member represents his own business or profession and thus the absence of any member deprives the club of the values of its diversified membership and the personal fellowship of each member. From time to time, proposals have been made to give attendance credit for various reasons or to lower the minimum requirement. Such attempts generally have been rebuffed by the clubs acting through the Council on Legislation.
