As my struggle is now really coming to an end (my boxes are scheduled to be delivered on March 18 or 19) and I am now at full blast at the University, I visited a second RC; the Florianopolis-Trindade RC. The same warm reception from people who are happy to have you here. It just makes you want to do what you have to do even better; you feel that you are part of an effort to spread out goodwill. And that is the theme of my presentations and of my personal quest during the year: the meaning of goodwill and service. I had the chance to meet a young Canadian from Ontario who had just arrived and will spend the year with a family here. We shall meet again.
I was also at a dinner party on Friday (13/03), but didn't stay for long, becasue I didn't feel well (throat ache). But the 1/2 hour or so I stayed there, I met new people, several ex-governors O(including one from Niteroi - RJ), and some people who were being honoured that day. And I met yet another Canadian grantee from Rotary; a young lady (17) from Ontario. She's been here for 7 months and speak Portuguese pretty well.
Another couple of visits to Rotary meeting next week in my agenda. And two presentations have been scheduled for early April. A third one is to be confirmed.
That's it for now.
