Guest Speaker: Denis Desrosiers, Co Founder and CEO Sentinel

Denis shared with us and took us through what it takes to be an Innovator, entrepreneur:

Innovators make it part of their daily lives to innovate

Innovators question everything

Innovators create their own creative environment

Innovators understand their creative strengths and weaknesses

Innovators collaborate with others

Innovators are not ­to communicate their crazy ideas

Innovators understand their ideas are worthless unless backed up by action

Donald Aubé, Operation Nez Rouge Chaleur Operation Red Nose

Operation Red Nose is a free non judgemental and confidential designated driver service that attempts to reduce drinking and driving on holiday weekends in the Chaleur area. The customers, plus their vehicle if they wish, are taken to their requested location, free of charge. Though, accepted donations go to youth organizations. Teams of three people are sent out to each call, an escort driver, a volunteer driver and a navigator. Donald stated that 369 people used the service in 2014 and he anticipates 500 will do so in 2015. He commented that the operation will probably need 200 volunteers this year. The service runs from 9 pm to 3 am on November 27 and 28, and 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 26 and 31 December. The contact number to volunteer and request rides is 547-7510. Links to more information are;

GUEST SPEAKERS:  Sylvie Nadeau, Robert Allain and Dr. Clément Arsenault; the Mgr. Henri-Cormier Lodge and the Dr. Leon-Richard Oncology Centre, Moncton.

Sylvie and Robert discussed aspects of the Mgr. Henri-Cormier Lodge and the Tree of Hope fundraising campaign. The Mgr. Henri-Cormier Lodge, opened in September 1993, provides accommodation free of charge with reduced meal costs for out-of-town patients receiving cancer treatment at the Dr. Léon-Richard Oncology Centre. The intent of the lodge is to reduce financial stress for the patients and enables them easy access to the Oncology Centre. The Lodge can accommodate a combined total of 65 cancer patients and companions at any one time. This past year, the Lodge has accommodated 1849 guests. Dr. Arsenault, a physicist, discussed the Oncology Centre’s radiation equipment and how they go about properly filling the radiation therapy prescription. Sylvie stated that they hope to raise $1.7 million in donations for this coming year’s Tree of Hope campaign, of which 86% goes directly towards the Lodge and Oncology Centre projects. Here are links to more information.  Sue Stever Bathurst Rotarian was testimony to the wonderful services provided by the lodge in 2014 during 6 weeks of Radiation Treatment in Moncton.
