Mary's Thought for the Day
Crayons come in many forms sharp dull pretty weird and in many colours but they all have to be in the same box
Mary has taken over as chair of Youth Exchange and her committee interviewed Keira Peace-Hall for the outbound Youth Exchange student for 2022.

One Kids Place in Huntsville is relocating to the Campus Trail medical building. Their move in scheduled for January 2022, with a plan to be open for clients and families by the end of January.

Rose Evans

The Snoezelen room is an integral part of the One Kids Place building and is used for therapy for not only children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, but for those suffering most neurological conditions.

Developed in the Netherlands in the 1970s, a Snoezelen room is a sensory environment in a relaxed atmosphere with pleasant surroundings—it is soothing, tactile, there are light effects, and it provides an opportunity for interaction and engagement. For children, sensory play is a fundamental part of human development.

The Rotary Club of Huntsville is proud to be the sole sponsor of the new Huntsville Snoezelen Room and have contributed $26,000 to provide valuable sensory equipment and resources to assist with the completion of this project. The Rotary Wheel will be prominently placed in the room to serve as a reminder of the generosity and dedication from Rotary Club in Huntsville.

“We are so grateful for the generosity and dedication from the Huntsville Rotary Club to our children and youth with special needs,” says Katharine Strang, development officer with One Kids Place. This room will be amazing! This is such an exciting time considering all that we have been through with the pandemic.”

One Kids Place along with the Rotary Club of Huntsville, look forward to spring and a grand opening event to help celebrate this wonderful addition to the Huntsville community.

Today's Speaker

 
The Future of Energy
 
Toady's speaker was our own Hugh Holland who provided a very informative discussion on the Future of Energy.
 
Hugh's basic message was that every country can be self sufficient in energy but obviously not in Fossil Fuel energy. The future is with Hydrogen and Nuclear with a gradual conversion from the existing over the next 30 years.
If you missed the presentation please check out the recorded Zoom meeting when it is available. It is well worth the time spent watching.
