District 3 General Membership Meeting
Happy 50th, RTO/ERO!!!
District 3 had a banner turnout for the 50th
Anniversary Celebration of RTO/ERO! Almost 150
attendees! Aside from the “Catching up with
Colleagues” and delicious luncheon, members
enjoyed Anniversary Cake and Ice Cream!
Thank you to Bernice Whalen and her team for the well organized festivities! District 3 has
already received lots of very positive feedback. We can’t wait for the next Fiftieth!
We must all tip our hats to Mr. Ray Jonusaitis whose encyclopedic knowledge
allowed him to identify almost all of the TV/Movie theme songs which accompanied
presentations! Well done, RAY! You DO rock!
Unfortunately, due to a family emergency, scheduled speaker Elaine Pitcher was unable to attend
the meeting and will be rescheduled at a later date. Our thoughts are with Elaine.
Members learned of RTO/ERO’s 50th Anniversary City Hall Proclamation and the CTV
Interviews of local members, who discussed the District 3’s huge host of Volunteers! The Videos
are now online and will be rebroadcast on Channel 10 for quite a while.

As part of the 50th Anniversary Celebration, District 3 presented a cheque for $2,000.00 to ARCH.
Lee Rendell, Fund Development Manager at ARCH, received the donation and spoke of the
impact that it will make on local children in ARCH’s care.

District 3 June Szeman Award
On April 3rd 2018 a standing ovation spontaneously occurred at our 50th anniversary birthday party when the name of the deserving individual
was announced. The joyous eruption of applause indicated that Gary Wills was indeed the right choice for the June Szeman Award. Gary has
been an RTO-ERO member since his retirement in 2009. It took little time after his retirement for Gary to come forward and support District 3 as
our webmaster using his computer and audiovisual expertise.
What singles Gary out is his humbleness and deflection of limelight. He is always ready to assist others in solving electronic problems. Yes, he is
a true example of kindness, “other focused”, answering the call of many, many individuals. Certainly he exemplifies, “if you want something done
ask a busy person”. He is an advocate for RTO-ERO. At every meeting or social event he circulates with his camera and asks permission of
those entering if he can snap their picture. Within minutes a collage of people entering the meeting becomes part of the warm scene on the
screen. What enrichment this offers to our general meetings!
At District 3 meetings Gary’s quiet, sense of humour sparks interest. He superimposes
unusual and often seasonal embellishments such as bunny ears and Santa hats on the
onscreen photos of the Executive Board members providing reports. Hours of preparation
go into making onscreen reports attractive to everyone in the audience.
One has only to glance at our web site to ascertain that it is current, informative and vibrant.
Thanks to Gary District 3 is a model in this area of development.
Yes, Gary is a computer whiz but even more important he is a team player. The word “I”
does not exist in his vocabulary. It doesn’t matter how insignificant the task, he is there to
assist----addressing cards when needed, delivering Goodwill cookies/chocolates at
Christmas, assisting with labels and the newsletter. He does not choose to be in the
forefront but he certainly gives impetus to those in the front lines of any undertaking. Gary’s
attributes of caring and support are traits that make our district dynamic. As a valued
member of the Executive Board of District 3 Gary provides a clear perspective on issues
and rational advice about projects of RTO-ERO.
It is without hesitation that District 3 names Gary Wills as the recipient of the June Szeman
50th Anniversary Award. Thank you Gary for all you do to enhance our undertakings and to
enrich the lives of so many seniors within District 3!
