April is Maternal and Child Health Month

Every day mothers risk their lives giving birth and millions of children die each year from treatable, preventable causes. Rotary provides immunizations and antibiotics to babies, improves access to essential medical services, and supports trained health care providers for mothers and their children.

Maternal and Child Health Care is also recognized as one of Rotary’s Six Areas of Focus. Follow this link to get more information

Rotary Learning & Information

RLI PHILOSOPHY

"Having leadership skills does not alone assure good Rotary leadership. An effective Rotary leader must ALSO have Rotary knowledge, perspective about where Rotary has been, where it is now, and a vision of what Rotary can be." The RLI course is highly recommended especially if you simply want to learn more about Rotary.

Our next session is May 11, 2019 at the Trillium Mutual Insurance Company, 495 Mitchell Rd. S., Listowel. The cost is only $75 including all your materials, lunch, breaks, etc. To register email Helen Campbell helencampbell75@gmail.com.

NGSE - Asking for Your Help

NEW GENERATIONS SERVICE EXCHANGE

ASKING for help

NGSE is an exciting opportunity for 18-30 year old young people to travel to another country to spend up to 3 months learning about their profession or vocation. D6330 offers opportunities to both inbounds (students coming from another country) and outbounds (students who leave here for a different country.

Welcome new members with Rotary Basics

Are you unsure where to start with your new member orientation? Have members learn more about Rotary and even test their knowledge with the new Rotary Basics course in the Learning Center. They’ll read about Rotarians from around the world, learn about our values and causes, and deepen their understanding of Rotary through this interactive course.

The Rotary Basics course was designed for new Rotarians, but it’s also a great refresher for other members — and even nonmembers — who want to know more about Rotary.

To take the class, use the link above. Anyone who isn’t signed in to My Rotary will be prompted to do so before going to the Learning Center.

The Rotary Of The Future

(from the April 2019 issue of "Rotary Canada")

Dean Rohrs calls her term as 2017-18 vice president of Rotary International the "greatest adventure" she’s ever had — and that’s coming from a woman who was an operating room nurse for the first human heart transplant, and who fulfilled a lifelong dream to get a degree in wildlife management as her 60th birthday gift to herself."During my time as vice president, I saw things and had opportunities come my way that I never could have done otherwise," says Rohrs, a member of the Rotary Club of Langley Central, British Columbia. She talked to Rotary Canada about how Rotary can change for the better and about the role Canadian Rotarians play in the world.

District 6330 Youth Exchange - Student Orientation

On March 1-3, the District 6330 Youth Exchange Committee held the first of three Orientation sessions at Camp Woodeden (outside of London) for the 17 high school students from 6330 that will be studying overseas during the upcoming school year. These "Outbounds" learned the basics of Rotary, Youth Exchange, Cross Cultural Communications, Culture Shock and how to get ready for their year abroad. At the end of the week-end they received their Rotary Youth Exchange Blazers and posed for a photo with Outbound Coordinator Ross Barnett (RC of Goderich.)
