President Etienne Leushuis

Etienne Leushuis was installed as the club's new president on July 3rd, 2007.

Etienne says it’s an honour to be asked to be president and to be counted on to lead the club. During his presidency Etienne wants to examine why people have left Rotary. Although there is a strong core of members, the membership is at its lowest in club history. Etienne is hoping that through our signature project our club will be known for what we do.

Etienne thanked Carol Rock for her fundraising efforts, Lynne Ternosky and her committee for the work that the International committee continues to do.

Etienne also intends to continue with the House of Blessing donations, the Theatre-Brunch event and Bingo. Other programs which will be looked into this year will be Youth Exchange, the Stratford General Hospital and Literacy programs.

Etienne asks each of the club members to challenge him, let him know what’s on your mind and to encourage him to do his best.

The Real Reason Kate Missed Her Flight to Newfoundland


After an exhaustive investigation of the facts, our crack team of reporters have discovered the true reason why Kate missed her flight to Newfoundland. Her claims that the entire province was "fogged in" are of course unbelievable. Anyone who has ever been to Newfoundland knows that it is, in fact, paradise. The Newfoundlanders only maintain this myth of eating cod cheeks , Newfie jokes and talking funny to keep this garden of Eden from being overrun by us mainlanders.

Upon arriving at the Toronto Airport, Kate hatched a cunning plan to fight global warming. Commandeering a fleet of Westjet planes, carrying air conditioners with really long extension cords and zambonies, Kate made the largest aerial drop the North has every seen in order to help rebuild the polar icecap. Numerous penguins were taught to drive the zambonies to extend and restore the ice sheet.

The Festival City Rotary Club salutes you Kate for your battle to end global warming! Well done!

No penguins were harmed during the posting of this message.
