There is no Rotary meeting on January 26. With schools closed and many events cancelled due to the storm, it’s a quiet week all around. Hopefully you’ve been able to dig out from the snow and had your street and driveway cleared early. If you don’t need to go out, enjoy the comfort of home.

We’ll be back in action next Monday with a full program.

 

If time permits, President Dave will share a brief five‑minute program on his recent trip to Antarctica—a unique adventure we’re eager to hear about.

 

Our main speaker will be Michele Logan, founder of Marantha Regenerative Farm.

 

Michele’s journey began while searching for answers to an autoimmune issue. Her research revealed that large‑scale “healthy” food production often isn’t what consumers believe it to be. Organic labels don’t always tell the full story, and—as the saying goes—we are what we eat ate. The health of the soil directly shapes the health of the food grown in it.

 

In 2015, Michele and her family moved to the Somerset Hills, where she felt called to combine her love of food with restoring land that had long been left fallow. She will share her story, her mission, and her insights with us.
