Rotary District Governors train for two and a half years and serve for one. Our current District Governor Linda Johnson from the Auburndale Club was our special guest today. A 28-year veteran of the Polk Sheriff’s office where she focused on undercover work in the areas of narcotics and organized crime, Linda says she has truly now
come full circle.
She reminisced about her early years, and brought us forward to who she is today: someone with passion and a servant’s heart who wants to give back.
And that really describes almost every Rotarian you’ll ever meet.
One of her focuses now, along with growing membership, is raising money to fight Polio, a Rotary International signature project for decades.
In fact, she promises to skydive if the District raises more than $159,285 for Polio Plus, (last year’s total) by the end of her term, June 30.
No shortage of fun, humor and dedication in Rotary, and Linda wonderfully personifies it all. Get behind Rotary!

Every Rotary club tries to meet the needs of its neighbors. What we don’t have here in Tampa Bay is much demand for hats and gloves.
So what do we do with the hats and gloves we receive?
Our service chair, Anne Hammond, sends them up north to a New York rotary club and there they are distributed to the people who really need them.
If you look for it, there’s always a way to serve, always a way to do good in the world, always a way to have lasting impact. join Rotary!

What do special needs and medically challenged people need? Accessible environments and inclusive social support.
And where do they find it? Rotary’s Camp Florida in Brandon. For the past 35 years, this 21-acre destination is all natural, gorgeously bordering a beautiful lake, and most important, provides a safe, stimulating and healthy place for these kids and adults to learn and enjoy and thrive. Executive Director Eleanor Saunders runs the camp and came by today to share about it. The club has served 3,000 to 5,000 campers over the years. Proud to have this gem in .

Sun City Center has so many residents in their 70s, 80s & 90s who remember not just the birth of TV, but the glory days of radio. And this community of about 20,000 has its own radio station. Sun Radio 96.3, born in 2014, is run completely by volunteers. One of those instrumental in keeping this station going is Ron Cress, long time community leader here. Sun says it fills the airwaves 24-hours a day with “music, conversation and community spirit.” This is a low power station, only 100 Watts, day and night. Pretty much you need to be here to hear it! The signal travels only about 3.5 miles.
We are blessed Ron came by today to tell us how the station is doing. (813) 781-0180. [email protected]

After age 65, what is the most common injury? FALLING.
1 in 4 Adults fall every year. It’s costly in many ways. Some people don’t recover. And it’s getting worse.
What can be done to stop this trend?
Physical Therapist Alicia Nixon, owner of Garner Physical Therapy in Sun City Center, recommends strength and balance training, and using vitamins to keep your bones strong. In Europe, she says far fewer people fall, simply because they walk everywhere.
It’s constantly strengthening their legs and making falls less common.
To us Rotarians the message was clear. Stay busy. Stay fit. Stay strong, And stay upright!
Thanks Alicia for an informative session here in

Rosemary Leist has a fascinating background, starting with the fact that her Dad helped launch the Gemini and Apollo space programs, and her Mom, Marilyn, who was here visiting us today too, was a corporate executive.
A Rotarian, Rosemary was a lobbyist for 30 years, married a Navy pilot, went to High Point University, plus law school and seminary, and has been a real estate agent for 30 years. Talk about versatile!
Rosemary loves negotiating FOR her clients. She says service is her middle name.
People don’t always retire to Sun City Center. Some move here to do business, continuing to add to their already sterling list of accomplishments.
Rosemary is one of those and we are proud to have here here in .

Most seniors want to stay in their homes and often choose to bring in help rather than move to an ALF. At Rotary today our own Damaris Roper from Homewell Care Services shared what her company offers. Need help bathing? Preparing a meal? Making sure you get your meds? The beauty of home care is you stay where you are familiar — as long as possible. The feeling of still being in control remains.
This is NOT home health care. It’s someone coming in to keep you company and help with daily household tasks. Makes a difference. Damaris also volunteers with autistic kids and leads a Bible study. To reach her, call (813) 738-4900.

TAXING. CONVOLUTED.
What’s more complicated than the US income tax system? The US is among the world’s leaders in messy tax law and because of that many of us use an accountant to avoid issues. Our club relies on CPA Jeffrey Kurtz
(813) 708-6438. Today Jeff dropped by to share with us the latest in tax law changes, because GOD KNOWS the laws are
always changing. It’s a moving target.
Thanks Jeff for helping Rotary and the rest of your fortunate customers.
