Thursday's Regular Meeting  on January 10, 2019 featured Andrew Garrison, noted author and Health Expert speaking on wellness, exercise and nutrition.  He was very humorous and delighted the Del Sol Breakfast Crowd.  Among books he has authored is "Body Facts".

 

He told us to put exercise into every aspect of our lives and told us to chew our food 12 times with our hands at our sides before taking another bite of food.  He also explained why posture is important and too much sitting is not good for us.  It was a very enjoyable and entertaining presentation.

 

President Elect Dave Simon presented his slate of officers for the next Rotary year which were approved by the members by acclamation.
