Reding for July 7: District Newsletter for June.
During June, Byesville Rotary programs focused on staying healthy. The club’s final speaker of the month was Dr. Saling from Jeffries Chiropractic and Wellness. Dr. Saling spoke about the common problems of joint pain and stiffness which are often caused by arthritis.
He explained that there are four kinds of arthritis. The type most often causing pain is osteoarthritis which can be the result of joint wear and tear and/or bone misalignment.
Treatments often used to deal with the pain include drugs like NSAIDS to relieve pain, surgery, steroids, realigning the bones through chiropractic, and/or exercise and nutritional supplements. Keeping active is important for maintaining healthy joints and reducing pain.
In other business, the club’s new president handed out pins representing this year’s logo for Rotary—“The future of Rotary is in your hands.” Club fines for 2008-09 totaling $814 were donated to the Rotary PolioPlus program.
The club’s next meeting will be 7:30 am, July 7, at the Stop Nine Senior Center at 60313 (GPS use 60299) Southgate Road, Byesville. Anyone interested in learning more about the Byesville Rotary can call Membership Chairs Marty Patchen, 740-685-3828, or Larry Miller, 740-439-2767.
