member Mark Dohn (Michigan, USA):
What an incredible meeting! I think this really show the power of eclubs and how we can fuse service and modern technology.
guest Cindy Miller (California, USA):
Loved this as an option [to make up a Rotary meeting]! Thank you!
member John Lozano (California, USA):
Another great meeting this week. I enjoy spending my time seeing all the great things happening each week with this Rotary Club. Peggy and Godfrey, thank you for the great presentation. I admire your work and commitment to help others. I have been involved with Sister Cities (San Jose) in the past, so it is great to see the collaborative efforts of several organizations.
Chris, thanks for the videos and I’ll be sure to share them soon. Keith, your pictures always inspire and allow me to reflect on the beautiful places in this world.
Rushton, what can I say? The support Tabitha and you have demonstrated with your Relay for Life efforts over the years should be celebrated! Great work!
member Kevin Brookhouser (California, USA):
Totally inspired by Godfrey and Peggy. From Monterey, it’s so great to see my neighbors up in Santa Cruz do so much to create just a large impact with the help of Godfrey’s work in Africa. Great, great work.
member Gene Tognetti (California, USA):
What an excellent program this week! Too many things to list them all. Keith’s images reminded me why I can’t get to Yosemite enough (was there about 3 months ago and now want to go again!). Certainly a highlight was Godfrey and Peggy’s discussion of the fabulous work being done to help so many people (I believe Godfrey said 65000 and growing rapidly!) who need others’ kindness and support to be able to live a life many in the US take for granted. I also enjoyed reading about the microfinancing efforts underway in Detroit – that was awesome. Would love to see us do something similar somehow…. and speaking of money, I tweeted out the PR team’s videos – cool idea for an easy fundraiser! Calendared it to continue tweeting, too. Finally, I am most appreciative of Rushton and Tabitha’s involvement in the Relay for Life. Thanks to all for the contributions to a great program!
guest François Tessier (Quebec, Canada):
What an inspiring program. Congratulations to Peggy and Godfrey. I would love to visit the Center on my next trip to Africa.
member Martin Fox (Utah, USA):
Love the affirmation video. Positive psychology and belief systems are a powerful thing. Keith, your images take my breath away – as always. Thanks to Peggy and Godfrey for the amazing work you do. I look forward to future conversations to see if our club can help you in your amazing work.
member Mitty Chang (California, USA):
Great work on the videos, Chris! Thank you Peggy and Godfrey for sharing with us such an amazing collaborative project! It’s amazing to see the global collaboration Rotary can bring.
guest Charlie Wasser (California, USA):
Great talk. Always good to see a holistic look at an entity whatever it is. In this case, Peggy and Godfrey look at the “ecosystem” that is created by the intertwining lives. Teaching the residents how to look at sustainability is marvelous. As you define problems and such that need to be corrected or things that need to be improved upon, the door to writing Rotary global grants springs open. The grants can be along the line of most of life’s necessities. I have a literacy project underway in Burkina Faso as an example….
member Manju Ramachandran (California, USA):
Awesome work and amazing impact! Thanks for sharing.
member Yvonne Kwan (California, USA):
Peggy and Godfrey, that was a wonderful presentation! Thank you for sharing the amazing work that the both of you are doing. Sustainability is such a key part in service projects. Hopefully we can spearhead our own sister city or twin club project some time in the future.
Chris, those are some super cool videos! I can’t wait to share them on my social media outlets.
And oh my gosh, Jessica’s affirmation video. I have no words for how adorably awesome that is. If we all started our days like that, I think the world would be an even better place
