VOCATIONAL

SERVICE MONTH- Calling every Rotarian to aspire to high

ethical standards in their occupation,

recognize the worthiness of all useful

occupations, & contribute their

vocational talents to the problems and

needs of society.

Several generations of Bob Hoy’s family have had ties to Trumbull

County. Bob’s great-grandfather bought a track of land in Bristolville back

in 1908. Twenty years later, his father started a Boy Scout troop in the

area.

Bob had a long career with Second National Bank from 1962 to 1986,

serving as Vice-President of Operations and Branch Administrator. His boss,

Lou Goffman, was an honorary member of the Rotary Club of Warren and was

passionate about the community. As a result, during his banking career, Bob

was encouraged to become involved with the Chamber and was also an advisor

for Junior Achievement. He later worked in life and health employee

benefits at Paige & Byrnes.

In the 1960’s, Bob had the privilege of appearing in the Kenley Players’

production of Bye, Bye Birdie with Andy Williams!

Bob has been a proud Rotarian for 31 years, and he just can’t say “no”

when asked to be involved in our Club’s many activities. We’re lucky to have

such a dedicated member. Thanks for sharing your story, Bob!

CAREER AWARENESS

S

Christine Cope didn’t sign up for the job, but she did a great job filling

in for Lisa Taddei during this week’s segment of Fellowship! She spoke about

Christopher Reeve (September 25, 1962 – October 10, 2004), an American

actor best known for his motion picture portrayal of the classic DC comic book

superhero, Superman, for which he won a British Academy of Film and

Television Arts (BAFTA) award.

Reeve was a talented all-around athlete. Portraying the role of

Superman would have been a stretch for the young actor. He was tall

S enough for the role and had the necessary blue eyes and handsome features.

However, his physique was slim. Yet, he refused to wear fake muscles under

the suit and instead went through an intense two month training regimen that

former British weightlifting champion David Prowse supervised. Prowse played

Darth Vader in the suit in the original Star Wars films. The training regimen

consisted of running in the morning, followed by two hours of weightlifting and

ninety minutes on the trampoline. In addition, Reeve doubled his food intake

and adopted a high protein diet. He added thirty pounds of muscle to his thin

189 pound frame. He later made even higher gains for Superman III (1983),

though for Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987), he decided it would be

healthier to focus on cardiovascular workouts. One of the reasons Reeve

could not work out as much for Superman IV was an emergency appendectomy,

which he underwent in June, 1986.

On May 27, 1995, Reeve was left quadriplegic after being thrown from

a horse during an equestrian competition in Culpeper, Virginia. He used a

wheelchair and needed a portable ventilator to breathe for the rest of his

life. He lobbied on behalf of people with spinal cord injuries and for human

embryonic stem cell research, founding the Christopher Reeve Foundation and

co-founding the Reeve Irvine Research Center.

Christopher Reeve dedicated his life to lobbying for those in need. As

Rotarians, let us continue that same unselfish way of life for those around us.

Joining us for fellowship today were: Rob Berk’s guests, Ron King and

John Mitchell; Diane Sauer’s guest, Julia Wike; and Maria Cerni, guest of

Christine Cope. All of these individuals have been proposed for membership!

DAMSEL IN DEFENSE

Lori McDonald is a

Crystal Director with

Damsel in Defense. She

has an extensive

background in sales and

marketing, primarily in the

healthcare field, which in a

round about way, brought

her to Damsel in Defense.

Unfortunately, Lori was

attacked at a client’s home

one day in 2014 – not by a

human but by four dogs,

ending ending the career that she

had worked in for 25 years. However, the good news is that she now

spends her days teaching safety and security to all of us.

Lori shared some staggering statistics with us at our most recent club

meeting. She reported that one in three women are abused, with college

aged women being four times more likely to be attacked. One in four girls

under and one in six boys under the age of 18 are sexually abused. A violent

crime occurs every 26 seconds in the United States. These crimes happen

in parking lots, at the mall, at work, and in our homes. October is

Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and one in three women are victims of

domestic violence, which can involve physical, mental, verbal, sexual,

and/or financial abuse.

So, how do we combat these statistics? Our most important defense

is our brain! Situational awareness is our ability to comprehend what is

going on around us, especially behind us, in a defensive mindset. Denial of

violence causes us to be unprepared and defenseless. Therefore, we need

to look left, right, and ahead before we head towards our cars or homes. In

addition, Lori advised us to have a plan in place in the event that an attack is

imminent. After all, our attackers have a plan. We should look for the

unusual, and pay attention to our guts. Don’t let judgement discount intuition.

Finally, if an attack does occur, it’s important for the victim to be able to

identify the attacker to authorities.

Damsel in Defense’s mission is to educate, equip, and empower. They

offer classes, called Warrior Workshops, that help individuals learn how to

use situational awareness and other tools to stay safe. They also work with

Destiny Rescue to help women and children escape from sex trafficking. In

Cambodia and India, where most cases occur, they train women how to make

a a living in their countries and provide housing to them when they cannot

return home.

Lori described Damsel in Defense as the only company that sells products

which we hope to never have to use. If you are interested in ordering

corporate or personal gifts, contact your Damsel Pro, Lori McDonald, at

(330) 307-6348 or loritheindependentdamselpro@gmail.com. Products may
