Greeter this week: Vicki Horsfield
Rotary Connections - they continue to surprise me!
Last year, David Werrett of our club introduced me to Graham, a Rotarian from Nanaimo, who was in Guatemala at the time on a Rotary project. Graham returned to Guatemala a few months later with 2 other Rotarian and they proceeded to complete a long list of maintenance and installation jobs for our charitable organization. Not too many more months passed and I heard from one of those Rotarians that two young leaders from his community, Hope and Sara, wanted to come to volunteer with us.
These two energetic and joyful young ladies poured love and encouragement into the students sponsored in our organization by helping them advance with their studies and improving their english skills.

Comments from our Guests and MembersMembers and guest attending our weekly meetings are very important to us. Based on your comments we are able to produce many more educational, inspiring and entertaining weekly meetings.
Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you send us your comments please? "Remembrance Day"
I have to say I didn't enjoy it - it was very sad, emotional and graphic. Hard to listen to the veterans talk about how they had to leave the fellow soldiers injured and push on without helping them. But, I thoroughly enjoyed the little girl talking to the British Veteran regarding her fundraising efforts.
Wendy Giuffre, RC of Calgary South, D-5360Enjoyed reading the story from our Honourary member Anna Soper about her experiences in South Sudan. She is very brave to work in such an environment.
David Werrett, Rotary E-Club of Canada One, D-5370Always enjoy the format of the e-Club meetings. It offers an opportunity to broaden one's perspective on Rotary and life in general. The Brad Jenkins' program was no exception and reminded me of the importance of reaching out to others in unique ways.
Don Smith, RC of Bracebridge, D-7010Enjoyed reflecting on the messages of this meeting (Sudan, Foundation month and Theo Wilson's experiment with trolls) after getting stronger internet signals off the Amazon.

A man rushed into the doctor's office and shouted,
"Doctor! I think I'm shrinking!"
The doctor calmly responded,
"Now, settle down. You'll just have to be a little patient."New Members Corner
