A couple were having marital problems. They decided to do the right thing and contacted a mar-riage counselor. Several visits followed when lots of questions were asked and lots of listening carried out. Eventually the counselor felt that he had discovered the main problem. He stood up, went over to the wife and asking her to stand up, he gave her a big kiss. He turned to the hus-band and said, “This is what your wife needs, at least once every day.” The husband frowned, considered what had been said for a moment, then replied, “OK, what time do you want me to bring her back tomorrow?” A man was chosen for jury duty who very much wanted to be dismissed from serving. He tried every excuse he could think of but none of them worked. On the day of the trial he decided to give it one more shot. As the trial was about to begin he asked if he could approach the bench. “Your Honour,” he said, ” I must be excused from this trial because I am prejudiced against the defendant. I took one look at the man in the blue suit with those beady eyes and that dishonest face and I said „He‟s a crook! He‟s guilty, guilty, guilty‟ So your Honour, I could not possibly stay on this jury!” With a tired annoyance the judge replied, “Get back in the jury box. That man is his lawyer.” As one of relatively few female airline pilots, I’ve often been mistaken for a flight attendant, ticket agent or even a snack bar employee. Occasionally people will see me in uniform and ask if I’m a “real” pilot. Still others congratulate me for making it in a male-dominated field. One day, I was in the restroom before a flight. I was at the sink, brushing my teeth, when a woman walked through the door and looked over at me. “My sister would be so proud of you!” she remarked.. I figured her sister must also be in the airline business, so I smiled and asked why. Replied the woman, “She’s a dentist.”

Welcome to: George McCrae The Pulling Together Canoe Journey began 11 years ago with the vision of having police officers travel with Aboriginal peoples’ in canoes, paddling the traditional highways and visiting Aboriginal Communities along the way in hopes of building bridges between Aboriginal people and law en-forcement officers. The Pulling Together Canoe Society mandate is: Recognizing the past by Pull-ing Together to enhance understanding between Public Service Agencies and Aboriginal Peoples by Canoeing the traditional highway, strengthening our future relations. What started out in 2001 with just a few canoes, a handful of police officers along with First Nations has now grown into more than 20 canoes participating in these journeys and the participants range from Elders, Youth, Police Officers, Canadian Navy officers, Department of Fisheries Officers along side many Aboriginal Peoples' from all over the lower mainland, Penticton and Vancouver Island. Over the years, the canoes have travelled down the Fraser River, through the waters of the sun-shine coast, paddled the entire Okanagan Lake, travelled over to Vancouver Island and visited communities in the Greater Vancouver area. One of the reasons that these journeys are so successful is that it really does open up the opportu-nities for cultural sharing and building a better understanding between First Nations and public service agencies. Spending a week or so together, in canoes, following the protocols of the First Nations communities has strengthened relationships not only between the all the participants, but also with the folks that live in the communities we visit. Visit www.pullingtogether.ca where you can view the many stories & photos that have been taken over the 11 years.

November - Rotary Foundation Month

Progress for Rotary's US$200 Million Challenge for polio eradication

As of 15 September, Rotarians have raised about $190 million for Rotary's US$200 Million Challenge. These contributions will help Rotary raise $200 million to match $355 million in challenge grants received from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The resulting $555 million will directly support immunization cam-paigns in developing countries, where polio continues to infect and paralyze chil-dren, robbing them of their futures and compounding the hardships faced by their families.

PolioPlus, the most ambitious program in Rotary’s his-tory, is the volunteer arm of the global partnership dedi-cated to eradicating polio. For more than 20 years, Rotary has led the private sector in the global effort to rid the world of this crippling disease. Today, PolioPlus and its role in the initiative is recognized worldwide as a model of public-private cooperation in pursuit of a humanitarian goal.

In addition to providing financial and volunteer support, Rotary works to urge support from other public and private sector partners. This includes the campaign to End Polio Now, inspired by the extraordinary challenge grants received from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
