COMMENTS ABOUT TOTAL RECALL
“Total Recall, to me is one of the best experiences I have ever had. I get excited as soon as the first email comes and
that feeling stays with me. I look forward to seeing friends that I've met in other years again and to meeting new ones. That weekend I leave all things behind and just have the joy of being there. The workshops, speakers, wonderful dinners and the fellowship that comes with the weekend are amazing. I float for the entire summer!”
- Deanna Hallett, Windsor, Ontario
“I have tried to maintain close relationships with my two daughters over the years, even though they now have families of their own and busy lives. The Total Recall retreat has provided an opportunity for us to spend a weekend together relaxing, playing, learning and meeting other inspiring women from all walks of life. The numerous workshops offered not only nurture the soul but teach us all how to laugh and play again as women should.”
- Thelma Serviss, Windsor, Ontario
“Total Recall is a gathering of women in a special and sacred place on Pelee Island. For me, it is a time to reconnect with nature and with women in our community who want to make a difference in their life and in other's. It is a time to remember who we are, where we want to go… and with the help of amazing friends, family and rekindled energy… how we want to get there. The Island, new friendships and renewed hope awaits you.”
- Donna Swanson, London, Ontario |

The Lindsay Rogin Scholarship Fund
The Lindsay Rogin Scholarship Fund was created for the
Total Recall Initiative to provide funding for those women
currently financially challenged. These are generally
partial scholarships where possible and may include a
work exchange and partial payment for the weekend.
Lindsay was born in Ireland, and grew up in Windsor. She
married Steve Rogin and together they raised two
beautiful daughters, Whitney and Jillian.
Lindsay was, by my definition, a gentle aristocratic
woman. She was the quintessence of a no-nonsense
woman. She recognized hungry children going to her children's school, and she started a Breakfast Program.
Her heart went out to abused women and she became the
President of the Board for Hiatus House. She believed
hospitals could be improved, so she dedicated herself to
the Hospital Board of Windsor Western. And personally
she encouraged me to follow any idea or inspiration that
came my way. For all these reasons, this scholarship fund has been
created in her honour.
Lindsay died of cancer in 2004. Look for her spirit in the faces of all the no-nonsense women attending Total Recall.
