Last Meeting Recap
At our last meeting, we enjoyed a wonderful conversation with Roman and Susan, who shared more about Lead with Seeds. It’s always inspiring to learn about the projects our members are involved in—especially those making a meaningful difference in communities around the world.
Member Spotlight
Mark Lindsay, newest member of the RC Edmonton Mayfield, comes over from YEG Passport Club and brings a wealth of talent and enthusiasm to our club. His skills and background are prime examples of how one can transition into a new career and build on previous experience. Originally a chemist, and production manager, Mark went back to UoA for a degree in Education and taught in Junior High as well as a school focussed on brilliant students with other challenges. Now, as an Executive Coach and "people developer", he brought his “A” game to harness the energy and enthusiasm of 30 students at Eastglen H.S. to bring their Charter for an Interact club to a reality. Former YEG Passport President Marilyn Mucha presented Mark with a Paul Harris Fellowship for his outstanding dedication in working with the students to bring Rotary to our youth. Mark intends to stay as the club liaison with Eastglen Interact. Thank you, Mark, for your leadership.
