Notice Regarding the Zoombombing of Our Peace Meeting 11/23

Dear reader,

The President and members of Rotary-E-club of One World are very sorry about the incident that occurred on Zoom in our peace meeting of today, November 23. We were very surprised by the hack and dismayed that those of you on the session had to endure it.

Despite this attack, we continue to be an open club and to welcome visitors to our e-club meetings. However we shall change our communications procedures and protocols for participation in the meetings to safeguard against unwanted intrusions. We will inform you at a later moment about those changes.

Again, we are very sorry the incident occurred and hope it will not deter you from participating in our future meetings.

If you wish to contact us personally, you can reach me, Elly Scheepers via email and I will respond to you.

On behalf of all members of REOW, kind regards,

Elly Scheepers

President REOW 2024-2025

President's Message for November

A Look Back at October and Toward November -

Rotary Foundation Month

First, I would like to look back on October, when worldwide RI worked on creating awareness of polio.

REOW heard from our member Susan about her experience of participating in a National Immunization Day (NID) in India with other D5240 Rotarians, and the need for us to continue contributing to Polio Plus so the job of eradicating this horrible disease can be completed.

I attended a district meeting of D4905 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where we discussed the facts about eradicating polio in times when people are less interested in vaccinations. More and more people are against the major immunizations. We cannot force people, but we can continue to communicate of the importance of good public health worldwide.

The True Value of Rotary Fellowship

Through The International Hosting and Traveling Fellowship, Dave, Wendy, Frank and Elly connected. Dave and Wendy spent some nights in Frank and Elly’s guest room. They had breakfast and supper together and visited the neighborhood . They enjoyed each other's company, shared Rotary stories. We learned about cultural differences. New friendships were built.

We visited Oudenbosch, a village with a history of how different religious institutions developed a poor part of the Netherlands into an important place of education, business opportunities, wealth and contemplation. The center of the village with the Basilisk, Saint Louis, Santa Anna and Arboretum are impressive monuments of the history of eight centuries.

ABOUT OUR E-CLUB

As e-club members, we participate fully in Rotary life, enjoying the camaraderie and fellowship with other members and visitors through our get-togethers online. We are a regular club except we meet online, so we can join in from anywhere worldwide. Our club is perfect for Rotarian globetrotters and those who live too far from a traditional club to attend regularly. Everyone is welcome!

Our members come from all over the world, giving us access to an international network of friends and fellow Rotarians! And we meet each other individually whenever the opportunity arises.

To communicate with each other we use the following:

Whatsapp to communicate with each other in group chats and telephonically.
ClubRunner, where we maintain our member profiles, and where our E-Club documents and our member contact list can be accessed.
Zoom, where we conduct our club meetings. It is very easy to use, we send you a link with a passcode to enter the meeting. You will need a device that has a camera to be able to get the best possible experience!

Backpacks & Schools Supplies Cabo San Lucas

Backpacks and School Supplies for Cabo San Lucas in Mexico.

In September 2021, at the beginning of the school year, we delivered 50 backpacks and school supplies to second-grade students of the Amelia Wilkes Ceseña Elementary School located in Cuatro De Marzo neighborhood in Cabo. This was led by Rotary Eclub of One World and the Principal and staff from the school. The project has been so successful that we decided to do it again in September 2023.
