Good News!

We are now #12 on the list of Polis Plus giving for this fiscal year!

Judy Glenn is heading up this year’s Children’s Christmas program.  Doug Johnson will be doing the Super Bowl Raffle.  Still looking for a marketing and public relations chairperson.

Raffle:

There was $155 in the pot and 4 marbles.  Jack Tolin was so excited that we called his number.  First time, he says, since 1983.  Guess what.  HE WON IT!  We also had two additional raffles.  Roy Thylin won 2 tickets for the movies and Tony Roehrick won a pomegranate brought in by our guest speaker.

Joke of the Week:

An attractive blonde from Cork, Ireland arrived at the casino. She seemed a little intoxicated and bet twenty-thousand Euros on a single roll of the dice. She said, ‘I hope you don’t mind, but I feel much luckier when I’m completely nude’. With that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice and with an Irish brogue yelled, ‘Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!’

As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up and down and squealed…’YES! YES! I WON, I WON!’

She hugged each of the dealers and then picked up her winnings and her clothes and quickly departed.

The dealers stared at each other dumbfounded. Finally, one of them asked, ‘What did she roll?’

The other answered, ‘I don’t know – I thought you were watching.’

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Not all Irish are drunks, not all blondes are dumb, but all men……are men!

Sustainable Rotary Clubs:

President Julia is committed to work on growing our club.  Rotary International has asked 100 clubs to join in.  Locally, Healdsburg Noon has agreed to this commitment also.

38 Resolutions to review:

You should have gotten an email from Kevin Eisenberg about the 38 resolutions that RI has put out for comment.  Please review and make comments.

Mike Moore Craft Talk:

Mike has already been in Rotary for 28 years with the Santa Rosa West  Club before transitioning to our club.  He is the previous owner of Discovery Office Systems which he sold in 2002 and retired from in 2007.  He is a really funny guy!  He started at AB Dick in 1967 selling mimeograph and ditto machines.  In 1982 he left to sell copiers and Discovery Office Supply was born.  He hired Doug Johnson about 20 years ago.  He and his wife, Jan, spend their winter months down south in the desert.

Richard Lazovick – Rotary Means Business Moment:

Richard owns iTech Computer, a company that teaches technology (phone, pad, tablets, computers, software and apps) to those of us needing to learn or update our skills.  He has a lot more patience than most! “He has the patience your kids don’t”  Visit his site for more information: www.iTechTutor.com

Guest Speaker, Ed Bauman “Food for Thought”

The body will heal itself if we create the right solutions and stop doing the bad stuff in the first place.  He showed us his own food mandala (vs. the food pyramid) .  Fruits, vegetables and water are on the outside of the circle.  Seaweed, algae and nutritional yeast are in the next ring; followed by protein and lastly seeds and oils.

Ed Bauman - Eating For HealthYour plate should be half vegetables/fruit and the other half should be ¼ protein and ¼ starch.  Avoid the usual:  over eating, refined carbohydrates, commercial dairy and meat, artificial sweeteners, etc.  Instead be mindful of what you are eating.  Eat the fresh fruit and produce, unrefined starches, organic dairy and eggs, free range meats, pure, filtered water.

He suggests not eating for a period of 12 – 16 hours a day.  It allows your body to rest.    The free radicals (whatever they are) are not able to cause damage to our cells so easily. Oh yeah, free radicals cause oxidation (Steve Marburger asked that question).

He gave us 9 reasons to eat more guacamole:  increased circulation, prevent blood clots, boost your immune system, prevent heart disease, maintain skin and eye health, regulate metabolism, manage energy, boost brain function and reduce cholesterol.

Rich de Lambert asked about good fats and oils.  Ryan Thomas asked what measure of health is best .  Bill Rousseau asked about cooked vegetables vs. raw.  How much sleep is enough?  Get as much as you can.  Your body heals when it is asleep.   BaumanWellness.com
