An important announcement to members and guests.

At our club meeting this week, April 18, we will be adding to our weekly Zoom at Noon meeting format a limited "in-person" get together at Saddlebrooke One Clubhouse. Here is how it will work.

Those who would like to begin meeting in person can gather at the Roadrunner Grill beginning around 11:00- 11:15 am to enjoy fellowship. Our members, by a substantial majority, voiced their preference that for the next 2 months the club adopt a policy that requires participants in the in-person meeting to have completed the Covid vaccination program. We agreed that this restrictive policy would be reevaluated prior to June 1. Following lunch and beginning at 12:00 Noon we will open an in-person meeting in the back of the Agave lounge area. There will be no service at that time. We will also link in the Zoom at Noon meeting in a Hybrid meeting format. Please feel free to call Joe Guyton or Ed Treick if you would like additional information.

The Rotary Foundation-2021 Campaign

The Rotary Foundation (TRF)

The Rotary Foundation, which is the charitable service arm of Rotary International, provides help to those in need, here in the United States and internationally. TRF helps people worldwide to rebuild their lives after disasters, it provides power and water to many thousands who need them. It is the primary force in nearly eliminating polio, and it supports peace initiatives. TRF supports educational and environmental issues, helps Mothers and children, and helps initiate change for local economies.

Rotary Club of Saddlebrooke has always actively supported The Rotary Foundation through the Annual Fund (Every Rotarian Every Year, or EREY) and Polio Plus. Ninety-two cents of every dollar raised goes directly to support Rotary projects. Recent Club projects include a Ghana water initiative and Nogales, Sonora clean drinking water for schools. When we do larger projects such as these, other clubs and The Rotary Foundation help shoulder the load. When we donate to TRF we support our own projects as well as those of other clubs. That synergy is awesome.

We only have a few months left in this Rotary year to show our true colors. Send a check made out to The Rotary Foundation to Tom Turriff, 65183 E Emerald Ridge Dr, Tucson 85739. Or go to Rotary.org and click on DONATE. While there, sign up for Rotary Direct and make a donation every month, automatically, by credit card.

Please keep Bill "Doc" Pohnert in your prayers as he continues his treatment for cancer.

Lessons From the Blue Zones

Program Speaker for March 4, 2021

Denise Steffan

My journey into health and wellness began in 1997 when I started receiving massage while working as a paralegal and competing as a cyclist. Faced with the demands of working full time and training for bike races, massage therapy proved to be a vital component to relieve stress and maintain a healthy body for competition. Inspired by the tremendous benefits, I made the decision to pursue a career in massage therapy.

I graduated from the 1000 hour program at the Desert Institute of the Healing Arts (DIHA) and have been a licensed massage therapist since December, 2000. Following graduation, I continued training through numerous continuing education programs and seminars which included Neuromuscular Therapy, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Ayurvedic Therapy, Hot Stone Massage, and Body Wraps.

As I worked with my massage clients, I realized nutrition played an integral part in how our bodies respond and heal. After many years of studying nutrition on my own, I began studying at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and in December of 2013, I became a Certified Health Coach.

During my training, I studied over 100 dietary theories, practical lifestyle management techniques, and innovative coaching methods with some of the world’s top health and wellness experts. My teachers included Dr. Andrew Weil, Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine; Dr. Deepak Chopra, leader in the field of mind-body medicine; Dr. David Katz, Director of Yale University’s Prevention Research Center; Dr. Walter Willett, Chair of Nutrition at Harvard University; Geneen Roth, bestselling author and expert on emotional eating; and many other leading researchers and nutrition authorities.

My education has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to work with my clients to help them make lifestyle changes that produce real and lasting results.

Oro Valley's Future is Bright

Oro Valley's Outlook is Bright

Rotarians from Saddlebrooke and their guests were treated to a remarkably interesting presentation by Dave Perry, President of the Oro Valley Chamber of Commerce during their regular meeting on Thursday, February 11, 2021. Perry himself a former Rotarian reviewed the many exciting developments and initiatives that residents and visitors to Oro Valley will see in the future.

One such development that Perry discussed was the Town West Realty's multi-purpose development in the Marketplace at the southwest corner of Oracle Road and Tangerine Road. He also spoke of the new University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine located in the Foothills Business Park across from Steam Pump Ranch on Oracle Road.

Perry emphasized the need for improvements in Oracle Road as the rapid growth in Oro Valley and other communities has significantly affected this important arterial road in northern Pima County.
