Reaching Out!  

Helping People!

Wellness is moving beyond one’s needs helping others in the community.  What a pleasure speaking to Rotary 100 in Phoenix Arizona about ways to optimize the body-brain through movement and exercise.  Around 150 members and guests actively participated in a lively series of activities showing how to enhance body-brain function.  A group of volunteers led the moving Body-Brain Boogie overview (above) and the spirited Rotary Cheer.  Without any rehearsal, they did a rousing job.  Rotary 100 is an exemplary organization generously reaching out to help others locally and around the world.
