Program: Slow Money

Great Informaton. This is the time to show interest in this type of information.

Keep up the great work!!

Maybe I'm jaded but not much new here.

Thank you for making this service available.

Good Meeting

Fascinating topic. Woody seems to be an amazing person with a great concept. I am going to seek to learn more about Slow Money.

I have heard talk of this in my community and am pleased to see that there is a larger movement driving it. Thank you.

great program !!

12-4-2009 Woody Tasch and John Lipman raise an interesting issue related to the mission of business. Is it to serve the exclusive interests of its shareholders or is it to serve as fiduciaries to shareholders, stakeholders (the consuming public and social institutions), and the wider world by promoting sustainability and preservation in food production. Many do believe that if the future of the planet is to be protected a move away from depletion and toward preservation has to take place. Convincing the rest of the investing world is the trick.

Found the link to the council on legislation particularly timely and helpful, and will take it back to our club.

I like the way it is formatted--anouncements, pithy quotes, etc.--gives it a regular in-person meeting feel.

Very interesting concept. Not sure whether it will work or not.

food for thought

Great Program.

Slow Money is very good concept

none

Something to seriously consider! Add it to cap & trade and aquifer replenishment.

1.There may be no more than one e-club in a district. If there was an e-club in YOUR district, would you join it? Why? Why not? Yes. I would bed willing to spearhead the creation of an e-club for District 6400. 2.If you joined an e-club, or are a member of an e-club now, how would like to see fellowship expanded? I think that the fellowship should be expanded using all the Web 2.0 tools available today, including web conferencing tools, course management software and social media 3.The 80/20 rule (20% of the members do %80 of the work) seems to hold true in e-clubs as well as traditional clubs. What could be done to encourage more participation in a e-club? Freedom encourages participation. I think e-clubs should promote entrepreneurial digital citizenship. Rotary should be present in every corner of the Web. It will be easy to encourage participation if Rotarians think of themselves as ambassadors 4.If you join a GLOBAL e-club, you probably have some interest in some kind of "global-ness". How might this be expressed in an e-club? What would you want your e-club to do that a traditional club couldn't/wouldn't do? We could hold global live meetings that connect every corner of the globe and mobilize civic spirit to end polio 5.If you were talking to a potential Rotarian, how would you explain e-clubs? An e-club is the natural evolution of the Rotarian spirit of meaningful voluntary assembly 6.Other thoughts on this topic? Thank you for championing e-clubs

Interesting ideas. it would be worthwhile to see where these efforts are in another year.

excellent article

Enjoyed the video

Very well done. Great use of u-tube.

Coming from a farm background, I have a split reaction to the movement. I was raised knowing that we were onl=y the stewards of our farm and teporary at that. But then again we had the resposibility to feed the world, so using science to increase the yeild on the farm was also paramont.

I like bold vision, and this certainly qualifies. While I'll admit to skepticism about anything that requires our facing our greed head-on, I think the focus on food as "the measure of money" has much to say for itself. Surely with the wealth we have, we could at least agree to focus on how to feed all our neighbors, near and far.

Perhaps I did not get all the presentation but I felt it simply skimmed the surface.

interesting topic

Very interesting concept - I like it. I have been trying to adjust some of my eating and shopping habit to support our local farmers and merchants, so this topic was fascinating to me.

It would be nice if information or notes from our local Rotary could be included on the ROTARY eClub.

good program

Great meeting on a key topic. The writing is on the wall, and some people are reading it, but it's going to take a serious commitment to make the changes necessary to safeguard our children's future. Thanks for another great meeting.

Good meeting

The concept is interesting, but I would like to know more about how it would be implemented now. Having been born and raised on a farm I have fond memories of how it was growing your own food and selling locally, but I don't know how that could be done now.

Thank you Interesting

Great program. I intend to learn more about "Slow Money."

Rotary keeps aging me at a much faster rate than I desire. I only have one birthday each year--09/27--and I believe this month's 12/31 acknowledgement is the 3rd this year.

Awonderful concept, Slow Money. We need to establish business cards that we pass out when attending terra clubs to help promote our eClub forum.

A very interesting program, one that I'd never heard of before. Thanks for this service.

Thanks for making this available to members.

Let's all hope for a good outcome for the COL next year. Personally, I've always liked eClub best, but it appears that I'll need to move on and get used to E-Club. What Larry says about eClubs is right on. The are no better nor worse than terra clubs, but offer Rotary to thousands who might otherwise no longer be able to participate. And, we have unique global advantages.

Food indeed is a universal, and one with moral implications in relation not only to the earth in/from which it grows but also to other organisms who consume it. This program speaks to concerns that apply to the developed world. How does it pertain to concerns in other places, such as Africa, where pollution is perhaps even worse than here and there is enormous competition between people for the basics of life--such as food?
