ROTARY FACT:
This week, March 7-14 is World Rotaract Week and every year it is designated to honor the chartering of the first club in North Carolina, USA, on 13 March 1968.
Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30. Rotaract clubs are usually community-based or university-based and are sponsored by a local Rotary club making them true "partners in service" and key members of the Rotary family.
Through the Rotaract program, young adults not only augment their knowledge and skills, but they also address the physical and social needs of their communities while promoting international understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service.
All Rotaract efforts begin at the local grassroots level and all Rotaract clubs have access to the many resources of Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation.
As one of the most significant and fastest-growing programs of Rotary service, with more than 7,600 Rotaract clubs in some 158 countries, Rotaract has become a worldwide phenomenon.
PROGRAM:
| FAYE COLE, Program Chair for March, introduced Dr. David Waters, Professor of Comparative Oncology, who gave a very interesting presentation on dietary supplements. Taking antioxidants to reduce damage to DNA can be helpful depending on the supplement and the disease. He advised us to eat more fruits and vegetables. He also invited the men who qualify to participate in an ongoing research project to identify the factors that motivate people to begin taking supplements, their perceived benefits of the supplements, and their general knowledge of selenium nutrition.

WISDOM: New Diet Rules
1. If no one sees you eat it, it has no calories.
2. If you drink a diet soda with candy, they cancel each other out.
3. When eating with someone else, calories don't count if you both eat the same amount.
4. Foods used for medicinal purposes have no calories. This includes any chocolate used for energy, Sara Lee cheesecake (eaten whole), and Haagen-Dazs ice cream.
5. Movie-related foods are much lower in calories simply because they are a part of the entertainment experience and not part of one's personal fuel. This includes (but is not limited to) Milk Duds, popcorn with butter, Junior Mints, Snickers, and Gummi Bears.
6. Cookie pieces contain no calories because the process of breakage causes calorie leakage.
7. If you eat the food off someone else's plate, it doesn't count.
8. If you eat standing up the calories all go to your feet and get walked off.
9. Food eaten at Christmas parties has 0 calories, courtesy of Santa.
