Crossing Africa, by foot and kayak
Oct. 02, 2020 12:30 p.m.
Mario Rigby is an intrepid eco-explorer, currently based in Toronto … when he isn’t on a new adventure. In 2018, Mario completed his Crossing Africa journey, a two-year, 12,000km trek walking and kayaking from Cape Town, South Africa to Cairo, Egypt. It was an expedition intended to connect with communities and share their stories with the world. Along the way, he was tested physically and emotionally in ways that would make most people stop short. But his main take-aways are his lessons in humanity and overcoming fear, lessons that are worth sharing. If time permits, Mario might even tell us a little about his coast-to-coast adventure, Cycling Canada, from Victoria, BC to St. John’s Newfoundland, covering 7,300km in 89 days. Or perhaps share the planning for his next adventure: exploring climate change in British Columbia and the effects on the river systems and First Nations communities that reside there, with the support of The Explorers Club and the Discovery Channel. Mario’s goal is to inspire people locally and globally to get out, be brave, and see the world. |

Rotarian Pioneer: first ever female president of a Rotary Club
Oct. 16, 2020
You won't want to miss this talk about Rotary history!
Dr. Sylvia Whitlock is an American humanitarian who was the first woman to serve as president of any Rotary Club. In 1987, she became president of the Rotary Club of Duarte (California) making her the first woman to hold such a position within Rotary International. The chapter's charter had previously been revoked in 1978 after they admitted women which was against Rotary International policy. The Duarte club took the issue to court and finally, in May 1987, after the case went all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, Rotary International was forced to remove its gender requirements for club charters, finally allowing women to join. (Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvia_Whitlock) Besides explaining this fascinating chapter in Rotary's history, Dr. Whitlock will also share her humanitarian work that still keeps her busy, 33 years later. |
