Better Living Advice: Ellie Savoy (Aired On January 26, 27,2019)

Millbrook Rotarian Ellie Savoy visits RadioRotary to talk about the ways that her
program for healthful living, outlines in her International best-seller Stop Dieting
and Start Living has changed her life and the lives of her many clients. Once 30
pounds overweight and a yo-yo dieter, Ms. Savoy had reorganized her life by
making health a Priority, by avoiding Pretending, by focusing on the Perception
of what works and actual time available for health, by attacking wellness with a
Plan for meals and appointments with yourself, and by approaching the problem
with Passion. Among her newer endeavors has been Workplace Wellness
programs for corporations that want to improve the health of their employees,
creating a culture of wellness at the job. Some of her most important times are
avoidance of processed food in factor of what is natural and organics; and also
making sure that the biggest beverage in your life is water, consumed
abundantly. Read her book for more tips—or if you are looking for something to
listen to while jogging or walking you dog, listen to the audio version and hear
Ms. Savoy read the book in her charming English accent.

Odyssey, a Church for the Developmentally Disabled (Aired On January 19 & 20, 2018)

Pastor Steve Dambra visits RadioRotary to tell about the Odyssey Church,
which serves the developmentally disabled community of Dutchess County (and
others who choose to attend). Located at the ARC Vocational Center in
Poughkeepsie, Odyssey provides the all the services you expect from a Christian
Church—a Sunday service at 10:00 a.m. that is filled with hymns and prayers,
Bible study, even baptisms. Sermons are kept simple, focusing on a single topic.
Much of the congregation is bussed in from group homes around the county.
Members of the congregation participate in the organization in many ways. The
church is also planning to partake in a celebration run by the Tim Tebow
Foundation, called “A Night to Shine,” a prom night where every participant is a
King or Queen of the Prom. Odyssey Church is part of the outreach from the
Hopewell Reformed Church, a pillar of religion and good works in Dutchess
Country that has been active since 1757.

Rotary Improves Spirits of Ill Children (Aired on February 5 and 6, 2019)

Clarkstown-Sunrise Rotarians Past District Governor Nick Constantino and club
President Alex Duenas tell RadioRotary about their visit to Neiva, Colombia,
where the Huellas Fundación brings laughter into the lives of terminal ill children
in four hospitals. In English, the Huellas Fundación is the Footprints Foundation
with Meaning of Life. Teenagers and college students form the basis of the
Foundation, dressing as clowns to amuse the children and, with the help of the
Neiva Noches Plateñas Rotary and the Make-a-Wish Foundation, find ways to
provide the children with last wishes. Constantino and Duenas joined in the
entertainment dressed as clowns (Mr. Constantino in costume was given the
name “Dr Cute,” which Rotarians in District 7210 will certainly endorse.) Listen to
the heartwarming stories of the children and the good works of the participating
Rotary clubs.
