So exciting!  I cannot thank each one of you enough to have an overwhelming first service project in the books.  But let me also thank some of our board members who trusted me to mimic the Hollywood Squares show to educate the attendees about the different areas of focus for the year while wearing our frames.  We hope you learned not only a little about our board but also how you can be a part!  If you have questions or interest in a particular area, reach out to me or the person in the seat!   Now… let me do a SHOUT OUT to the folks for the total club effort for the HHH Back to School Backpack Service Project.  Over $3,000 in supplies were donated by the Club Members and greater community… over 20 of us stayed and helped pack them all in 30 minutes, clean up the gym in good citizenship fashion and load them into Rabbi Alex’s car.  Thank you to Temple Beth Tikvah for embracing this project and being a temporary storage facility.  AND… 28 members who now earned their Service shirts with this project and now totaling 33 service shirts earned!!  This proclaims our Year of Energizer Bunny Service has officially begun… Could not be more proud.  

At our next Rotary meeting, we will explore the benefits of holistic medicine, a complementary approach that considers the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—in the pursuit of optimal health and wellness. Holistic practices often integrate traditional and alternative therapies, emphasizing prevention and the connection between physical health and overall well-being. Read more about Dr Webster below.  BUT… We are also excited to introduce you to some very special guests: Chai and Barrington, our therapy dogs, and Pie, the therapy llama! These gentle animals play a crucial role in holistic healing, providing comfort and emotional support to those in need. Interacting with therapy animals can lower stress, reduce anxiety, and foster a sense of calm and happiness. Join us for an enlightening discussion on holistic health and the opportunity to meet these amazing therapy animals. Their presence will surely bring joy and tranquility, reminding us all of the healing power of love and companionship. Don't miss this heartwarming experience!
