El Salvador Sweat Equity Program
Feb. 26, 2020 12:00 p.m.
El Salvador Sweat Equity Program Recently a group of Rotarians and friends of Rotarians went to El Salvador to build homes for poor people living in a rural mountain area. Vicki will take you through their journey in El Salvador highlighting the building of 7 houses, school visits, donations and other highlights. Come out and learn about this amazing country with its gracious people. Vicki Malo Vicki’s desire to help others through hands-on started several years ago when organizing groups of foot care professionals to go to the West Indies and provide much needed help to the locals. Rotary was instrumental to the success of these programs. This led to her joining Rotary 3 years ago to help others locally and around the world. As she loves to travel and experience other cultures, joining sweat equity international programs fits into her mission of providing care and necessities to the less fortunate. Vicki is an engaged member of Rotary and we are very happy to hear from her at our meeting. |

THE COST OF “STAYING ON TOP OF THINGS”
May 13, 2020 12:00 p.m.
How stressful or traumatic experiences affect our relationships with family, community and business, and how to eliminate their impact on our lives.
“The source of empowerment, transformation and success is within you”
Alena will discuss the impact of when economy and life is unstable ...running for security, causes distress in our family and workplace. As a result people are disconnected from their children and cannot make clear decisions. This affects the stability of our foundation and our children's security by not having patience and time for our loved ones.Therefore stress levels are raised and are less effective. Costing us the price that can not be replaced.

What Women Deal With After Serving Time and Their Intergration Back Into Society
Jun. 10, 2020 12:00 p.m.
In 2014, Gloria was coaching a group of 15 women to develop interview and job skills. They had all served time in prison for crimes like drug dealing, entering Canada with drugs and fraud. Over the 3 months of coaching, Gloria discovered they needed more than soft skills training. They needed serious help in areas such as anger management, emotional support, social skills and interpersonal skills. They were having an extremely tough time integrating into society and were considered high risk for re-offending and suicide. Prior to this, Gloria had never met anyone who was in prison or given any thought to how they ended up there or what happened after they served their time. Gloria realized then, that she live a sanitized life. In this presentation Gloria will be sharing what she learned from these women and the gaps in the support they need when they leave prison and how they inspired her to take action. About Gloria: An incident in the workplace propelled Gloria on the path she’s on. Had it not happened, she would not have discovered she was not being treated the way she wanted. She would not have discovered also that many people wanted to be treated differently and that most of us haven’t identified how we want to be treated. She realized that how you communicate is how you are perceived and how you are perceived is how you are treated. The soul-searching from this incident along with surveys, discussions with diverse groups, her interest in verbal and non-verbal communication, experiences, education and training steered her to start her company, Clearly Speaking. She takes a holistic approach to communication and so her training and coaching deliver more than clients expect. She changes her clients’ awareness of communication. The first workshop she developed was Communication For Women to teach them how to change their perception of themselves and change their communication image. Over the years, client feedback, training requests and changes to the workforce have channelled her focus to soft skills for career development. The workshops Gloria has developed and the 6 books she wrote address areas of concern to employees like helping their boss to help them, having a simplified way to prepare for performance appraisals, working with different generations and multi-cultural coworkers, navigating workplace politics and etiquette, language fluency and being strategic with their careers. She specializes in communication skills for foreign-trained professionals, communication for parents, coaching in communication and presentation skills for students and professionals, networking within an organization and externally, interview skills and etiquette, communication and culture. The books Gloria wrote are (K)New Words, ABC For Speakers & Presenters, ABC For The Workplace, ABC’s Of Networking, An English Guide For Pronunciation and Mispronounced & Misunderstood. Gloria faced a moment of truth when she recognized how she did not want to be treated. There is always a little bit of sunshine peeking out from behind dark clouds, always something to be learned from every interaction. The choice she made and the actions she took as a result uncovered her potential. She speaks about the lessons she learned from her own experiences and others because those experiences are universal and maybe some people are waiting for their moments of truth. |

“Lunch Money for Backpacks” We have been isolated for the last few months unable to meet and share a meal together, saved a lot of money that we would havespent on the meals. We encourage you to use some of that “Lunch Money” and support the cost of backpacks for children in need come fall. This year the need for support is greater than ever, the COVID 19 pandemic has been most severe on marginalized families. The children themselves have/are suffering the most, the closing of schools, the closing of parks, playing with friends, being isolated. The Lunch Money for Backpacks project is to help families get their children ready for school in the fall. For the past 7 years our Rotary Etobicoke Hands-On Committee has provided backpacks to our community partners who depend on us for backpacks for families on their most in need lists. By providing $25 (the cost of one backpack filled with school supplies) at this early time , it will allow time to purchase all the school items and would permit us to plan ahead to know the number of children we will be able to help with essential items. You can purchase more than one backpack if you would like. Please send the email transfer to our treasurer Gary Halford: ghalford@interaxgrp.com A personal tag will be added to each backpack. “Marcus (fill in your name) from Rotary Etobicoke wishes you a great year, success and knowledge, have a wonderful school year!” Thank you for your generous support! ACT NOW - this fundraiser ends on Saturday, June 27 2020. |
