Drew led a number of members who attended the conference in sharing reflections on some of their key moments. His observation revolved around some of the issues facing our aboriginal Canadians and how service clubs can play a role
Mary Rasleigh met James Ferguson, a Rotarian from Alberta who is a member of the Rotary E-Club of Canada one. He suggested whenever you want to do a makeup you can use the e-option. His contact info is;
Brandy was at a breakout session and she met the founder of the educational game Leap Frog. He talked about people who are neophylic (like change) or neophobic (resistant to change), suggesting that we should all become more neophylic, immediately!!
 
Jen & Brent reflected on a couple of sessions they attended regarding combating human slavery. They shared some very scary stats which make this issue pretty critical to deal with.
 
Tim  indicated he enjoyed Laura Bush's comments
 
Len also got something out of the Bush address and also stressed the importance of fellowship (specifically with a group of his fellow hard drinking Barbadians)
 
Helen attended My Future Rotary and also talked about the importance of transitioning all of the successful Youth Exchange participants into active Rotarians. Only 2% are retained at this point.
