Making a Global Impact: Mision Claridad EC
 
In the spirit of Rotary's global mission, our club proudly supports "Misión Claridad" in Ecuador, led by Rotary Riverview and Rotary Tomebamba. We want to share and celebrate the tremendous impact achieved through this project. The cataract surgery team successfully completed 80 surgeries, with additional complex cases handled on their behalf the following week. The Optometry team examined 350 people, identifying 200 individuals in need of glasses for daily activities. The optometry team prepares to deliver these glasses in January 2024, making a lasting difference in the lives of our global community.
 
This is Rotary - making our neighborhoods and the world a better place, together.

Get ready to celebrate the festive season with our Brightview Holiday Luncheon. Mark your calendars for December 19th. Stay tuned for more details on this joyous event. 
 
Last Meeting Summary
 
Our November 1st meeting with DG Brent Collingwood was truly insightful. He delved into Rotary's Vision Statement, Theme, and the role of our club in erasing the stigma associated with emotional well-being. Brent also highlighted the essential work of the Rotary Foundation. Brent also shared exciting news about two upcoming learning events. The Fall Assembly is scheduled for November 18th, 2023, and mark your calendars for the CREATE HOPE District Conference on May 3-4, 2024. 
 
 
Next Meeting
 
Join us on November 15th for an interesting talk by Kornelia Eisfeld from Mercy Ships. She'll be talking about "Addressing the Global Crisis in Accessible Healthcare." It's a chance to understand the challenges and how we can help make healthcare more accessible worldwide.

Getting to Know Francine
 
 
Francine was born in Leduc and has lived in Edmonton for over 30 years. She loves playing bingo, baking, and travelling + camping in the rocky mountains. She has been involved with Rotary for about 10 years. Her favourite part about Rotary is the friendship – being able to see the same people each week and build those relationships. A fun fact about Francine is that she loves cats! She will often petsit for her friends and has a cat named Roger.
