We had a surprise visitor; Gaspard, our Youth Exchange student from Belgium last year, had a break from his 1st of Engineering studies and joined us. He said his courses are all in English, so last year’s exchange has really helped him. We’re so proud!
Mark Campbell spoke about his career in honour of Rotary’s Vocational Service month. He’s worked in various technology-related positions as an interactive/graphic designer and has also taught at St. Clair College. He and his wife Sara have run their own successful Technology and Marketing Agency, DigitalMedia, for 16 years.
Walter Willms gave a heartwarming tribute in honour of Don Arpin, sharing memories of his Rotary involvements since his induction to the Club in 1964. To view the tribute in its entirety, click here.
Speaker Rosemary Fiss, Manager of Education and Support Programs at the Alzheimer Society of Windsor-Essex, began by explaining that the numbers of those with dementia will increase; in 2011, the first of the Baby Boomers turned 65, and age is one of the most significant risk factors of dementia. Symptoms include loss of memory, loss of judgement and loss of understanding. If you or someone you know experiences any warning signs, such as forgetting something familiar, the inability to navigate time and/or changes in your ability to think abstractly, the first place to start is to talk to your primary health care provider.
Rosemary touched on the importance of dementia-friendly communities. These are places “where people with dementia are understood, respected and supported”. She showed a powerful video describing how sometimes people with dementia don’t recognize things (in this case, tomatoes at the grocery store). A little understanding, kindness and patience are greatly appreciated. To find out more about this topic, and how you can contribute to a dementia-friendly community, visit http://rethinkdementia.ca/

Rotary Satellite Club of Windsor (1918) Evening
Thanks to 17 members and friends, the kitchen at The Salvation Army is now sparkling clean! Using professional cleaning supplies provided by Alpine Construction and JaniSafe, the kitchen was scrubbed from top to bottom; stainless steel equipment was polished and tables and chairs in the dining room were washed. Within 2 hours, this army of volunteers had the job done and were able to share in a bit of fellowship along with homemade cookies.
Also on the agenda was the preparation of 105 “Survival Kits for Living”. These fun little packages provide a bit of encouragement to those who may be having a “gloomy” day. Members were encouraged to take a few kits with them to give to anyone they felt were in need of a bit of cheering up.
Happy birthday to those celebrating their birthdays this week:
Nurlan Turdaliev
Gary Wintermute
Members celebrating their Club Anniversaries this week:
Bev Cyr (26 years)
Zora Savic (15 years+)
