Statement Regarding RCSH and Political Candidates for Office:
The Rotary Club of Safety Harbor neither endorses nor opposes any political candidate or party. From time to time individuals ask to be invited to a Rotary meeting so we can "get to know them" as a person and understand their background. If that individual happens to be a candidate for political office, discussion of their campaign is not allowed. We use the opportunity to showcase the good works done by Rotarians in our community and internationally. We note that Rotary International encourages public service, and many Rotarians do also hold public office.
Heather Richardson of #sHAMC spoke to Rotary about their community service in the Arts of Safety Harbor and in Elementary and Middle Schools in the surrounding community. Heather is a talented mosaic artist whose public art can be seen all around Safety Harbor. Heather also described summer camps available for local children that mix art activities with physical expression. SHAMC's music scene is the most diverse and interesting in the area. Recently they hosted Japanese stage artists who paint while acting - a first to be seen in Safety Harbor! We thank Heather for coming to us! Here's a video about Heather's mosaic work that fully engages children to take pride in their school at Lila B Davis Elementary: youtu.be/Ezz5Efe-0qw
A children's book, Carboard Kingdom, was donated to the Safety Harbor Public Library in Heather's name.
Today we heard from Amy Manning of Family Resources of Pinellas & Manatee counties, connecting homeless youth with resources like housing, medical care, clothing and public resources. Amy described a fundraising cross country bike ride from California and ending at Family Resources St Pete who essentially saved 11 year old Noah Ehlert's life by redirecting him. familyresourcesinc.org/ and

Amy asked Rotarians to donate $50 and ride 50 miles on their bikes toward the tour, which ends in Pinellas County.
Today Dr. Kelsey Jackson addressed our Rotary club. She taught us about Functional Medicine and the value of addressing the causes of illness, inflammation, and disease. Unfortunately that's not the way our modern medical system operates! Thanks Dr. Jackson for teaching us about the importance of "gut health", that there's much more information in bloodwork beyond the typical blood tests we get from primary care physicians that only look at averages among an "already sick" population. Dr. Jackson gave us her card and a handout on what a chiropractic internist is, and how it's different than most chiropractic. Turns out Rotary is a great way to learn! Thanks again Dr. Jackson (from Crossroads Chiropractic and Natural Medicine in Safety Harbor, FL)!
Don Cummins spoke at Rotary about making a decision to put adversity and self-doubt behind after decades of a troubled history. Don has begun to give back a message of hope and overcoming the self-destructive actions he engaged in the past, moving ahead to capture his story in his first book. Don has begun volunteering with service organizations to be a champion for positive change within a person. His talk at Rotary demonstrated his willingness and courage to stand before a group and say, "I messed up big time, but I'm willing to move forward, love myself, and recognize all the good I have inside to share with the world". When asked what made him turn his life around, his response was "love". Interestingly, the children's book donated to the Safety Harbor Public Library by Rotary Club of Safety harbor in Don Cummins' name is entitled "My Heart".
