So long, Matthew Fisher, Canada’s most-travelled warco 

So long, Matthew Fisher, Canada’s most-travelled warco 

Story by Stephen J. Thorne

He could be blunt, bombastic and cringingly irreverent. He was also smart, generous, and always, always interesting.

Like virtually all of the most talented, committed and absorbing people I’ve known, Matthew Fisher was a human full of quirks and contradictions. He died in Ottawa on April 10 after a short battle with liver disease. He was 66.

With the guns in the Second Battle of Ypres

Story by Sharon Adams

In 1915, Canadian troops moved to the Ypres Salient in Belgium. The Germans wanted very much to get rid of the bulge into their territory, and used a new weapon hoping to dislodge British, Canadian and French troops.

A Warrior’s Servant Leadership

A newsletter from a fellow veterans organization in the Bay Area.

Attacking Global Poverty and Political Partisanship the Marine Recon Way

Jake Harriman is leading from the front of major issues with the same determination and courage as he did as a recon platoon leader in Iraq and Africa. He spoke with PBS NewsHour Special Correspondent and Marines’ Memorial Board member, Mike Cerre, on the concept and real-world tests of servant leadership.

Leading from the Front

About Leading from the Front:
Our monthly video series shares timeless leadership lessons learned by a variety of professionals, thought leaders and experts on the front lines of today’s major leadership challenges in all walks of American life.

Conducted virtually from the Marines’ Memorial Club, these timely and insightful conversations are a digital extension of the major lectures and events that normally take place at our 12-story hotel, theater, event spaces and restaurant in downtown San Francisco.

The viewpoints expressed are those of the participants and not necessarily the Marines’ Memorial.

ANZAC Day 2021 and more

Leave a reply

A reminder from one of our partners for an up-coming virtual service (and several other items in their monthly newsletter).

Kia Ora MichaelWe are all thankfully making that glorious slow return to our typical outdoor  community lifestyles, and SF Kiwis is excited that we may soon all be meeting again in person, with safety first and foremost, of course.

 

ANZAC Day – 2021

We are proud to announce that a small joint Kiwi-Aussie ANZAC DAY commemoration will be held in Golden Gate Park on April 25th and you are invited to watch it streaming live from 10AM. Please register at the link below, in order to get the link and password for the stream. For full details please see the flyer below, and if you want to make your own ANZAC Biscuits, scroll down for the tried and true Edmonds Cookbook recipe!

We want to hear from you!

SFKiwis is very interested to hear what you look forward to from this uniquely Kiwi organization in the coming months  – you will receive a Survey Monkey soon, and we are hoping for new suggestions from our members, to keep our unique group vibrant and relevant for those of us who are temporarily or permanently calling the Bay Area “home”.

We also welcome you to be part of our brainstorming sessions. If a stint on the Board of our very own San Francisco SFKiwis organization sounds like your cup of tea, please drop us a line at info@sfkiwis.com and we’d love to chat about it.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Survey, and information down the road about a NZ Christmas Party, a Picnic, a Camp Out, Pub Nights and a visit to the NZ section of the wonderful Golden Gate Park Botanical Gardens.

Be well, Kia Kaha

From your friendly SFKiwis Board members

Some local stores like Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Amazon or Rockridge Market Place may have NZ ingredients for this, or reasonably adequate English substitutes.

Last week we found our favorites of NZ Butter, NZ bottled Water, NZ Wines, NZ Lamb, and NZ Cheeses, all ready to jump into our cart at Trader Joes, so you never know your luck!
