“A Roaring Good Time for
Giving,” according to local
Rotarians.
To the lively sounds of a lit-
tle ragtime piano, the Rotary
Club of Florence unveiled its
2015 auction theme last week,
declaring that its upcoming
Roaring Twenties extravaganza
will set another fundraising
record to support scholarships
for local young people. The
auction is scheduled for 5 p.m.
on March 14 at the Florence
Events Center.
Expect to see a bit of Great
Gatsby combined with some
Downton Abbey as Rotarians
dress the part. Some may even
be seen dancing the Charleston
or sipping a little speakeasy
champagne. A capacity crowd
of 260 is expected, according
to auction co-chairwoman

Florence Herb Enthusiasts wel-
come Karen Hazelwood to help
appreciate and understand how
the body heals naturally using
whole foods.
“Identifying the red flags our
bodies send out to let us know
something is going on needing
attention is a key to unlocking
optimal
health,”
said
Hazelwood.
All are welcome to attend the
meeting Tuesday, Jan. 13, at 11
a.m., at New Life Lutheran
Church, 2100 Spruce St..
Hazelwood graduated last
May from the online CLIMB
program through Portland
Community College in holistic
nutrition, and is soon to be
Karen Hazelwood
board certified in holistic nutri-
tion. She is nearing completion
of the internship requirements
that includes 500 hours of
counseling, writing papers, giv-
ing talks and providing educa-
tion for clients.
“I am passionate about edu-
cating others on the innate wis-
dom of their bodies, and the
importance of taking charge
instead of handing our health
over to doctors, who spend only
five percent, or less, of their
education in learning about
nutrition,” said Hazelwood. “I
am interested in reaching out to
those who show even a slight
interest in how they can begin
the healing process for their
own bodies, as well as those
who are on a continual quest to
be the best they can be. We owe
it to the ‘invisible soldiers’ tire-
lessly working within us to
keep us free of disease.”

Some people also keep salt in their cars -- if
your car is stuck in snow or on ice, sprinkling
salt in front of your tires can offer some more
traction and get things moving.
Make sure your tires are operating safely and
efficiently.
