Erin Scott, who has Chronic Lyme disease, has set a goal is to spread as much information to Canadians as possible. "I know first hand how knowledge has the power to change a life, especially when it comes to Lyme disease. I was sick for almost twenty years before I was able to get the treatment that I needed, I want to make sure that others are not waiting two decades to receive life altering treatment. When it comes to Lyme disease fast and effective testing and treatment are truly life saving."

MEETING RECORDING

DG Steve made his official visit to the club.

NOTE: 

This was a Virtual/In-Person meeting.

Steve, a Rotarian from the GTA, was one of the keynote speakers at the District 7010 Conference 2021, held in Timmins in September.

Steve will be speaking on the topic of Leveraging Global and District Grants.  Steve will present on two successful projects where participation by many individual Rotary Clubs in Canada and beyond provided the resources that triggered Rotary Foundation funds for both a Global Grant and for a (large) District Grant project.  He will highlight ways in which Clubs can participate in an increased range of projects without necessarily having to expend a large amount of money.

Steve spent his career as co-owner of a mid sized computer company in Toronto.  Since retirement he has narrowed his focus on local and international community support.  Steve has served on several boards and committees in Port Hope including the Municipal Culture Committee, Parks, Rec and Culture Committee, Skatepark committee, Capitol Theatre Board of Directors and others.  He has received two civic awards, the latest for philanthropy and is a multiple Paul Harris award recipient for his efforts (Port Hope, Whitby Sunrise and Beirut Cosmopolitan) and awarded the Spirit of Rotary award in 2016.  In 2018, he received the Family and Community Service award from the Rotary Club of Courtice.  His most recent award was the Bob Scott Disease Prevention award from Rotary District 7070 in June 2020.

With his partner they created a number of large events including one they held in their home netting $61,000 for the Capitol theatre and another town event for 6000 people.

For the last 11 years Steve has ventured into Laos serving the rural villagers with the most basic of needs for sustained life.  Since 2009, Adopt A Village in Laos has completed over 65 villages with filtered water one family at a time, serving over 32,000 rural villagers, constructed 24 permanent water supplies, repaired numerous others, built over 40 banks of toilets, 12 school construction projects and continues to sponsor a host of primary, secondary and university students.

After the Beirut port explosion in 2020, Mr. Rutledge chaired the international sponsoring partner club committee (Whitby Sunrise club) and raised approximately $240,000 from 60 clubs towards a global grant to replace operating theatre equipment for Beirut’s only public hospital.  Steve is also co-Chair of the International Committee at Whitby Sunrise and sits on the District 7070 Water and Sanitation Committee.

This meeting will be a Club Council.  We will start with a discussion of ideas for new service projects for the Club.  If you wish, you can check the Rotary International website to remind yourself of the RI priorities for this year.  On the other hand, it is likely that club members have priorities of their own.  I am hoping for a good discussion of ideas.  So...local, international, children, seniors, mental health, education, recreation.  There is no shortage of areas where assistance is required.
