VOTE DAILY FOR CHARITY AIR MILES
As a Rotary member, you make a difference in your community and internationally.  Last year, because of the efforts of Rotarians and their friends and family voting daily from their computers, smartphones, and tablets, we received 2.5 million airline miles through United's 10 Million Charity Miles Giveaway.  The miles were used to change lives by helping with humanitarian projects, such as transporting children with birth defects to hospitals for treatments they can't receive at home.  Vote daily for Rotary until the end of today here.
ANY THOUGHTS YOU WANT TO SHARE?
I invite all members to send me their thoughts which you would like to share with fellow Club members on an issue affecting our Club or the Rotary world.  Submission deadline is the Sunday of every week.  Enjoy this week's article, and please feel free to respond to those last words or submit your own article for future pbulication.
CAR ENTHUSIAST?
From Mic Farrell, President, Rotary Club of Edmonton Riverview:
 
David Kinnaird of Edmonton Riverview is looking to make contact with car enthusiasts for a project involving disadvantaged youth.  Are you a car enthusiast, i.e. do you belong to, or have links to, car, street rod, or truck clubs?

Once we locate some enthusiasts, David will share some information from Ontario where a car club has linked up with a high school to support interests in youth at risk in some interesting ways.  David is just waiting for a video or slideshow on the topic to arrive.

If you are interested or know of other contacts David might pursue, please contact him here or Rita Sharek here.

THE END WORD
We are sitting in the Winnipeg airport waiting for our son and daughter-in-law to arrive from Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Long delay because of plane trouble.  They had to transfer to a different plane.  I found one of the few power plugs available to use my laptop, but there are no chairs, so I'm sitting on a box on a baggage cart.  I can't get to Starbuck's because it is located in the Departures Lounge and I'm stuck in arrivals.  FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS are so ...
