Roseland Rotary Meeting November 2, 2017
 
Today’s weather was not perfect yet 14 were in attendance for today’s Roseland Rotary meeting.  It’s always good to be back home at the Waterford Lounge.  It’s good to visit other venues but always good to be back home.
 
 
Upcoming Events
November 21, 2017 is Thanksgiving Food Baskets time.  There is a signup sheet for shopping, packers and delivery. We will be meeting at the Roseland Police Station at 1PM.  Please make an effort to help out, after all this is what Rotary is all about?
 
Remember Today, if you are not confused, you are not thinking clearly.
 
December 9th & 16th is the Salvation Army "Ring the Bell" event at the University Mall Food Court.  A signup sheet will be at next week’s meeting. Please do not wait to long to sign up or the date you want may be gone.  This is an event we ask every Roseland Rotarian to help with.  Don’t let us and the Salvation Army down.  Attend next week’s meeting to sign up or call now to reserve a date and time.
 
 
Happy Dollars were collected from all the happy Rotarians and who knows maybe some not so happy Rotarians.  Al Veldman and Thomas Hickey gave for no reason.  A no good a reason is as good as it gets my friends.  Jason Teage gave because ND is #3 and he's happy to be back. I hope both his happiness and ND last! Maury Rosen wanted his dollar back for being called Wally😄. Can’t blame him for that!
 
“True friends are like diamonds – bright, beautiful, valuable, and always in style.”
 
Today’s speaker was Charlene Roundtree representing Eupterra Foundation, Ethic Naturopathy.  OK, so I had no idea what this was or how to pronounce the organization.  Charlene talked about her business selling necklaces & gift boxes that are made from natural material and stainless steel.
 
So now I will try and explain what this is.
 
Ethnobiology is the scientific study of dynamic relationships among peoples, biota, and environments. As a multidisciplinary field, ethnobiology integrates archaeology, geography, systematics, population biology, ecology, mathematical biology, cultural anthropology, ethnography, pharmacology, nutrition, conservation, and sustainable development.  The diversity of perspectives in ethnobiology is our greatest strength.  It allows them to examine complex, dynamic interactions between human and natural systems, and enhances our intellectual merit and broader impacts.  OK got that?

Naturopathic medicine doesn't follow a single road to good health. It combines nature with modern science. This approach to health care embraces a wide array of noninvasive techniques and therapies, including traditional healing methods, principles and practices.

Naturopathic medicine focuses on holistic prevention and comprehensive diagnosis and treatment. Naturopathic physicians work with the body's inherent ability to restore and maintain optimal health. The naturopathic physician tries to encourage good health by helping to create a healing internal and external environment.

Ya, I spelled all those words, yes, I know what they are and don’t forget the bridge I have for sale near San Francisco, California.

Frank won the drawing for the second week in a row!  This guy owes me two cruises including the trip around the world.  
 
It is your day Rotarians, give to someone needy.  Today I gave $2.00 to a panhandler in the parking lot at Office Depot.  He said he needed it to get to the hospital.  I found out he meant Sam’s Cure All’s on 4th street.  It’s OK I would have given him the $2.00 dollars anyway.
