ROCHESTER ROTARY NEWS

March 13 - Rochester Rotary Open House at Cambria Gallery from 4:30-6:30 pm. The three Rotary clubs of Rochester are working together to invite non-Rotarians to three different open house events designed to attract new members. We want to make the community aware of Rotary and give non-Rotarians a glimpse of how they can make a difference through Rotary. Questions: patricia.mccleese@gmail.com

Tuesday Club Speaker: If you missed him at our Wednesday Club meeting last year, Dr. Hans Diehl is scheduled to speak at Rochester Rotary Risers on March 13^th, 7 am at the Hilton Garden Inn.

Chosen as “One of America’s 20 Super-Heroes of the Health Movement” (Vegetarian Times), Dr. Hans Diehl is the founder of the Lifestyle Medicine Institute in Loma Linda and a Clinical Professor of Preventive Medicine at the School of Medicine of Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, CA. Offering more than 30 years of leadership in the emerging field of Lifestyle Medicine, his pioneering efforts as an epidemiologically trained lifestyle interventionist with the Complete Health Improvement Project (CHIP) and its more than 60,000 graduates have consistently shown how simple lifestyle changes can prevent, arrest, and facilitate the reversal of many of our largely lifestyle related chronic diseases. The clinical results of his research (including two Randomized Clinical CHIP Trials) have been published in more than 25 peer-reviewed medical journals. His books Health Power, Dynamic Health, and Dynamic Living (co-authored with Aileen Ludington), have over two million copies in 19 languages in circulation. He earned his doctorate in Health Science and an MPH in Public Health Nutrition from Loma Linda University
