Dear President Rod,

Please accept my best wishes as you begin your year as Club President. Your commitment to Service Above Self is an inspiration to many.

Each year, Rotary helps us to go further and support more people. As official project partners in disaster relief, ShelterBox and Rotary International are changing lives. Thank you for continuing to support our work toward a world where no one is left without shelter after disaster.   

Stephanie Christensen, Executive Director, ShelterBox Canada

Community Service by our club member Anna in Warsaw
Anna Wieczorek is showing amazing community service helping those leaving and remaining in Ukraine with financial support by Rotary Club of Edmonton.  Below are some stories from Anna.  
           
News from Anna September 21st:
 
Łukasz got a new car for his further trips to the front line from a private donor here in Poland.  Winter is coming, so the people there (mainly soldiers) need warm clothes again, the thermal underwear and kind of stuff we bought before last winter. I’ll write to our Board to ask if we could help again with winter supplies.  (Editor note: donations for this will be most welcome)

We believe that exemplifying and embracing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) should be a part of everything we do at Rotary.  
Rotary Club of Edmonton is committed to supporting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
Our club acknowledges we are on Amiskwacîwâskahikan Treaty 6 land. We are all Treaty People.  
We respectfully acknowledge the land upon which our club operates is located on Treaty 6 Territory and has served a purpose as a traditional meeting ground for many First Nations groups. This territory has provided a traveling route and home to the Nakoda Sioux, and later, Blackfoot and Cree peoples, followed by Saulteaux and Métis and other Indigenous peoples.
 
 
Edmonton is also in Metis Zone 4.  The Metis flag is the white infinity symbol on a blue background recognizing a mixture of two distinct cultures.
