Centennial Rotary Meeting Notes

Announcements

Mark Gale--Attended the District Membership seminar last weekend along with Jeff Piercy. He commented that 25-30 clubs were represented and that ours seems to have the most fun and camaraderie. He asked members to keep membership in their thoughts always and bring a friend or business contact to our meetings. He also needs old copies of "The Rotarian."

There were others--??

Byran introduced our speaker, Cathie Deegan, an Alzheimer's Assn. volunteer and long-term care consultant.

Highlights from the talk:

The differences between normal and abnormal forgetfulness. She passed out a list of them, such as forgetting where your keys are vs. forgetting you were even at a family reunion.

She enjoys giving this type of talk because it raises awareness of the disease and allows people to take steps with family members. She pointed possible ways to stave off Alzheimer's by exercising, healthy diet and stimulate your brain by learning something new every year. There is a helpline at 800-864-4404.

The marble pot is currently at $368 for the winner. Mark G. drew a clear marble. Bummer Mark!
