Highlights from Jeff’s talk:

Kaz, a Midwestern native, has been working at AXIS for 10 years and is dedicated to giving clients the best education and experiences possible that will affect and change their lives, one beating heart and flexing muscle at a time.

  • Health and well being starts from the food and nutrition that we take daily.

  • Eat “clean” foods, i.e. with whole ingredients, not processed ingredients or refined oils and refined sugar. Eat fruits, not cookies.

  • Toolbox for better health: probiotics, digestive enzymes (yogurt), omega-3 acids (salmon), reduce inflammation (less sugars, more dark green leafy vegetables, do moderate exercise), 20 mins of moderate-intensity walk or exercise per day, focus on consciously improving your posture.

  • Positive attitude will improve physical well-being

 

Dilek shared emails she received about different global grant projects looking for partnership and funding.

 

Our next seminar “Accelerating Your Career” is on March 29th. Please advertise to your circles, and post flyers.

 

Dilek urged all members to look for our next international project.John suggested that we could build a long-term relation with a school instead of looking for one every year.

 

Turkish Educational Foundation (TEF) asked for our help for their fundraiser. Their entertainment (guitar player + singer) has canceled, and they are looking for a similar activity. We also discussed about alternatives (movie night) and potential venues. Lale will check with West Valley College for rooms.
