LAST WEEK
CHARLES “CHAZ” LEWIS, CEO of Extremely Inspired Fitness, along with Coaches LEBEAUX COOPER and CANDICE WHETTON discussed their experiences as competitors and coaches in athletic endeavors. As college athletes in track and field, football, and softball respectively, each developed an enthusiasm and appetite for fitness and wellness for themselves and others. Extremely Inspired Fitness specializes in wellness through personal training and personal fitness, yoga, self-defense, performance training, bodybuilding, and lifestyle change. In 2019, COOPER and WHETTON created CNCPerformance to provide focused and customized instruction and support on the core pillars of a healthy lifestyle: confidence, commitment, nutrition, mental health, rehabilitation, and perseverance. The enthusiastic trio of wellness advocates and entrepreneurs, with a humorous nod to the somewhat “seasoned” audience of Rotarians, presented their companies as poised to help people of “all ages” to reach the fitness level appropriate to their age.

WOULD YOUR FELLOW ROTARIAN GIVE YOU
THE SHIRT OFF HER BACK?
Probably not, but don’t you want your own shirt? You’re in luck! Before the meeting on August 17th, we’ll reopen the “RCOR Swag Store” for a few weeks so you can go online, select your item(s), color(s), and size(s), checkout with your credit card, and we’ll deliver your order to a meeting in October. If there are any things you’d particularly like to get (Spa robe? Shopping bag?
Onesie?), let me know and we’ll add it to the store. Stay tuned.

TODAY IN AWFUL HISTORY
In 1977, Postal employee David Berkowitz is arrested in Yonkers NY, accused of being “Son of Sam”, the 44-caliber killer. He confessed to the many “SOS” attacks, and initially claimed to have been obeying the orders of a demon manifested in the form of a black dog belonging to his neighbor, “Sam”. After being found mentally competent to stand trial, he pleaded guilty to seconddegree murder and was sentenced to six consecutive life sentences in state prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years. He subsequently admitted that the dog-and-devil story was a hoax.
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Today is the 222nd day of the year. It’s also National Psychic Week, but you obviously already knew that. With 143 days left in the calendar year, we have plenty of time to achieve some of our goals, engage our members and the community, and raise some money. I look forward to some upcoming service projects and seeing more of us actively serving in our community.
