Community Meals A.K.A. Meals on Wheels

First, our thoughts and prayers are with the Kunisch family. Second, we heard from a wonderful presenter today, Kim Mount from Community Meals A.K.A. Meals on Wheels. We had no idea of all they do for the people of our community who need meals, but can't take care of it themselves.

Amazing morning hearing about little Jasmine's journey as a Gift of Life child. What a blessing! Grateful also for the Klingen family who hosted Jasmine and her mom during her pre- and post-operation. This is why we do what we do as Rotarians! Service above self!

Being Well Within

We thank Loren Gelberg-Off, CEO and Founder of Well Within, for her words of wisdom on dealing with the everyday stresses we face! Great presentation!

Great to have Dr. Jyoti Mathews, board certified family physician and owner of Eden Medical, again with us! She did a great job clearing up misconceptions in health that we all share.

Village Elders' Program

Great to have fellow Rotarian, Dan Shiver, with us this morning and hear about how his idea of giving at risk students, who are in the criminal justice system, exposure to career opportunities, has become a reality. Thanks Dan!

MarbleJam Kids

Wonderful presentation today by Sarah Melone, co-founder of MarbleJam Kids! Amazing to hear how they mold and bend to what the child needs instead of pushing for the child to change--great to have Sarah today!
