What is the purpose of Rotary?

Rotary is a unique combination of a business networking club and a service organization. It presents an opportunity for local business people to meet and fellowship with one another, talk about and implement community service projects, and pass business ethics down to the next generation of young business people.

Why would someone want to join the Flat Rock Rotary Club?

One of the primary reasons someone would want to join us in Flat Rock is that we are the only local Rotary Club that meets after work. This allows those of us who have full time jobs the opportunity to participate in community development without interfering with our work day schedule. So for those that wold like to be in a Rotary Club, but find that the early morning or lunch time slots don’t work for them have a great alternative.

Another fact that we would like to highlight is that we are a low overhead club, meaning that since we don’t have the added expense of meals with our meetings our membership dues are far lower than is typical of Rotary Clubs.

The other advantage that I would like to highlight, and one of the main reasons we are here, is that this is a new club that will be chartering this year. People have the opportunity to become a founding charter member of an organization that will be helping the community for many years to come.

What are some of the projects your club has participated in, and what do you have planned for the future?

Most recently we got the opportunity to help out Big Brothers / Big Sisters with their Back to School Supply Drive. We worked with Jeff Kowalak of Big Brothers to gather a huge quantity of school supplies which will go to help out in our local schools for underprivileged kids. The supplies were mostly earmarked to go to Upward Elementary, so we really got to help out a local school.

One of the things I am most proud of is sponsoring a young lady to attend the RYLA Youth Leadership Camp that takes place every year in Brevard. The kids get to hear a bunch of great speeches on leadership, participate in team building exercises, and develop self-confidence and leadership skills with their peers in a fun environment. I have had the honor of presenting a health and fitness talk the last 3 years, and always come away inspired by the potential youth leaders there.

We have a Clean Sweep Community Clean-up coming up in the near future, and we will be continuing to work with our local schools and Big Brothers / Big Sisters. Members of our club will also be helping out with the March of Dimes in Hendersonville. I am very excited to be helping out in these kinds of Projects!

You have a big Open House Membership Event Coming up soon, can you tell us a little about that?

Our club is holding an Open House Membership Event on Thursday September the 23rd from 5:15 to 8:00 pm at the Woodfield Inn in downtown Flat Rock. We will be serving light refreshments and sharing the opportunity for local businessmen and future community leaders to experience our vision for improving our local community. This is a drop in event, and we would be delighted to fellowship with you!

Where can our listeners find out more information about this event and the Flat Rock Rotary Club.

If you knew how many pills you are flushing into the sewer system undigested you would be VERY Upset!

Agel solved this problem by suspending effective doses of supplements that I like and recommend anyway in a rapidly absorbed gel. They are in individual serving gel packs that are incredibly convenient to travel with. No more pills and powders!

There are a number of great products to choose from:

• FIT for Weight Loss/Fat Burning
• FLX for Joint Pain & Mobility (Lower Back Pain, Arthritis, Inflammation)
• EXO for Anti-oxidants/Anti-aging
• UMI for Immune System & Digestion
• OHM for Energy, Stamina, & Mental Focus (with no caffeine)
• HRT for Cholesterol & Heart Health
• MIN for Vitamins & Minerals
• GLO for Ingestible Skin Care (hair/nails/skin)
• GRN for Detoxifying & Alkalizing the Body (“Greens” like wheatgrass & barley grass)

I got the opportunity to take Eric Worre, the guest speaker for the event back to the airport and got to snap a few pics with him. Also shown is a client of mine and business consulting partner Jacob Barrocas. So great to spend time with such high energy and intelligent people!

I am going to the world conference in Las Vegas soon, and will be going back down to Charlotte NC in about 8 weeks to hear another great speaker with this company.  Way more than just supplements, it is an educational opportunity I could not pass up.  Anytime you get to spend quality time with those more knowledgeable than you, JUMP on the opportunity!  =)

For the first time in my life, I am experiencing steady and consistent weight loss.  I am gaining muscle while losing fat which feels wonderful!

My moods and energy have improved substantially. David’s program is designed to help people succeed!  This is by far the longest that I have maintained adherence to a nutrition and fitness regime.

I lost 12 pounds doing the 30-day cleanse and have also lost 14 pounds in four weeks following a simple diet and exercise plan. Everything is clearly laid out and very easy to implement into daily life.  I would highly recommend David’s program to anyone wanting to look and feel better.

These are “midway to real goal =)” transformation pictures – Good Job so far Ashley!

Let me tell you a little about my experience with David and Kym of Totally New You! It has been one of the greatest journeys of my life! I feel like I have won the lottery with these two! I was overweight and needed help!

I have been to the Bariatric Clinic two times and lost thirty pounds but gained it back each time.  DING DING DING!! Those plans DON’T work!! Yes, they give you pills that make you not so hungry but it isn’t all about that people. Do you REALLY want to put those chemicals in your body when you CAN do it on your own? Have you ever felt the satisfaction of KNOWING that you are so strong that you CAN do it by yourself?

Here is where David and Kym come in…

This isn’t your average, run of the mill gym and personal training experience. These two and their program are LIFE ALTERING! They are “Wellness Coaches” not JUST personal trainers. I know, everyone wonders what THAT means…

WELL! Let me tell you! David and Kym don’t just throw you into the gym and tell you to lift weights or work on a treadmill. This is truly PERSONALIZED help in every way possible. They work WITH you from the start….from meal planning to grocery shopping to workouts tailored to your needs to e-mail/phone support! Where ELSE do you get THAT!? They give you all the tools it takes to be successful in your wellness and weight loss journey. There is nothing around that compares to these two and the services they offer. I won’t lie and say it has been easy (losing weight is NOT easy, and anyone that tells you it is is LYING) but David and Kym are there with you every step of the way. I have lost 7 pounds in the first 10 days and am so motivated and excited to continue and see what is in store for me in the future working with David and Kym.

If you are serious about losing weight and learning how to make your life better and healthier call David and Kym at Totally New You!! I am so thankful that I did!

RP @ Julie Owens Wilkie YES!!!!! Met my goal of 20 lbs lost in 7 wks! Lost 5% body fat and 5 inches off my waist!!! Thanks David and Kym at Totally New You!
