Dublin AM Rotary July 19, 2019 Meeting
 
Our speaker was “Dinky” Denise Youngsteadt Parrish, the new Executive Director of one of our favorite local organizations, The Dublin Food Pantry.   We heard stories and used Play- Doh!    The Impact of Trauma on our brain was a very passionate talk.  Denise shared not only who has food insecurity and hunger but the bigger picture of the impact of trauma on our brain. 
 
Operating since 1978, Dublin Food Pantry has been serving our community.
 
Denise shared that it is a need still growing. Over 60% of the Dublin elementary school students qualify for the national free lunch program so even a wonderful area like Dublin has residents and families in need.
Denise “Dinky” also used Play-Doh to demonstrate the impact that trauma has on the human brain and how that relates to life circumstances that cause food and shelter insecurities. Other discussion included that the problem with being poor is that it takes all your time.  Kent summarized it well when he said it was a passionate and compassionate talk that Denise shared. 
 
Jack Curtis discussed the First Monday of every Month is our volunteer time and the whole family is now welcome to help.
 
Announcements: 
 
Wine Not Wednesdays at Tucci’s was a great success. Thanks to our social committee!  We spent time getting to know a few of our newer members and welcomed Betty Isaac who sends her regards and affection to all Dublin AM. Join the next one in August at Tucci’s.
 
9/1- Put the Rotary Car Show on your calendar for Sunday, September 1st. Lou Charobee will be recruiting volunteers to share flyers, work the registration and logistics the day of the event too.
 
Dublin Irish Festival- Andy has 25 Slots to Fill.  If you need assistance, email andy.keeler@keelernadler.com or call Andy at (614)402-3765.
