David: All members try to get all of their Lobster tickets and money for me at the May 9th meeting. Thank you in advance!
There will be no meeting on May 23 as Lobster on the Run on May 28 will count as a meeting.
Our meeting was in-person at the Selkirk Golf and Country Club.
Guest Speaker: Sexual Exploitation in Selkirk by Tammy Thompson – Program Manager for START (Selkirk Team for At Risk Teens) and Adults
The START program is a multi-agency collaboration (RCMP, Probation, School, Addictions Services, Mental Health, Public Heath, Child and Family Services), supporting and focusing on the clients and families struggling the most in our community.
Also co-chairing the ISEE Committee, (Interlake Sexual Exploitation Educators), Tammy shared information and real stories/situations regarding child sexual exploitation, child abuse. Youth exchange sex for transportation, place to stay, substances, acceptance (2005); Cyberbullying (2008), Sexting (2011), and Sextortion (2011). The pandemic created an increase of 88% in reports. The online predators exist everywhere, and the victims are everywhere, including our region. The committee focuses on the education piece for our community.
How to prevent? : Understand the risks, educate, explain that adults should never text children in a sexual way, ask questions and listen without fear of being punished, discuss healthy relationships, talk about consent, report.
Just remember consent as it relates to “a cup of tea” (video: Tea and Consent).
Asking that at the May 9th meeting, all Rotarians hand in their Lobsterfest tickets and monies into David. If not quite finished selling, Rotarians will need to drive to David’s in East Selkirk by May 18th. Ron Knight will advertise on the pamphlets.
50/50 Tickets distributed tonight. Michele will be looking after them. Tickets ready for the prize draw. Jean will coordinate. Money to Michele and Jean and they will submit to Lesli.
