Hayward's Efforts Toward a 'Wellbeing Economy' Addressed at Oct. 21 Meeting

Local resident Rex Green will discuss how our city is addressing the shift to a “wellbeing economy” at the next luncheon meeting of the Hayward Rotary Club, Monday, Oct. 21, at 1074 B St.

Green represents the local affiliation of the Wellbeing Economy Alliance, that describes itself as, “a global collaboration of changemakers and disruptors questioning the status quo.”

Green has identified areas that Hayward is moving toward this goal by its efforts addressing homelessness, citizen involvement in planning, planting trees, neighborhood parks, well-stocked libraries, festivals and other events, and funding neighborhood projects.

His  career covered work as an evaluation researcher, public health officer, and consultant on evaluation projects in the Bay Area.  He is recently retired and is volunteering to spread the word about a well-being economy on behalf of the California hub of the international organization, the Wellbeing Economy Alliance.

 

Contributions of Hayward Rotary Foundation at Oct. 7 Meeting of Hayward Rotary Club
The extraordinary contributions of the Hayward Rotary Foundation will be presented at its annual meeting at the Hayward Rotary Club at noon, Oct. 7 at 1074 B St.
 
The foundation is the conduit through which much of the club's philanthropy flows, allowing a significant portion of the club's $140,000 in grant funding for 19 community nonprofit organizations last year. Recent funding included roofing the historic Hill and Valley Club in Hayward, providing turnouts and helmets for firefighting students at the Eden Area ROP, and a section of the agricultural education farm under construction at the Alameda County Fair.

Hayward Rotarians to Hear How Rotary International Declares DEI 'Essential'
 
 
Rotary International has made DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) a major  point of focus for its 46,000 clubs worldwide, and the Hayward Rotary Club will learn more about this effort at its noon Monday luncheon meeting Sept. 23 when it hears from Oracle executive Cheryl Lander, who leads the effort for Rotary District 5170. The club meets at 1074 B St.
 
Lander is president of the Silicon Valley Rainbow Rotary Club and chairs the Rotary District 5170 DEI Committee. 52% of employed U.S. adults say they have DEI trainings or meetings at work, and 33% say they have a designated staff member who promotes DEI. Rotary International, which has 1.4 million members, has a statement of purpose that says: 
 
‘We believe that exemplifying and embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) should be a part of everything we do at Rotary."
 
 
 
 
 
 
Life West Chiropractic College Director to Address Hayward Rotary Sept. 16
 
 
 
 
The story of how Hayward's Life Chiropractic College West emerged from the pandemic stronger than ever will be told by the director of its health center when the Hayward Rotary Club meets for its regular Monday luncheon on Sept. 16 in downtown Hayward at 1074 B St.
 
Dr. Koen P. Kallop will bring along a couple of his interns as he gives a presentation on Life West, which boasts it is, "the most genuine and inclusive chiropractic school in the world."
 
The college has been located in Hayward for 46 years and has 55 faculty and more than 600 students working on chiropractic degrees. 

Chiropractors work with people with a wide range of health conditions and symptoms, often best known for neck and back pain. The job of the chiropractor is to assess the biomechanics of the spine to allow for improved function and healing.
 
 
 
 
 

Work of Local High School Interact Clubs Featured at Hayward Rotary Sept. 9
 
A presentation on the extraordinary contributions of Hayward's Interact clubs to the community will be given at the next luncheon meeting of the Hayward Rotary Club, to be held at 1074 B St. Interact clubs are the high school equivalent to Rotary and its members are also pledged to "service above self." Support for these clubs, which have already begun their work this school term, has been the highest priority of Rotary Club President Kim Huggett.
 
Interact club members from Moreau and Mt. Eden high schools were on hand when Hayward Rotary conducted its annual Child Spree event last month, giving backpacks, clothing and school supplies to needy students. More than 30 "Interactors" supported Hayward Rotary at its annual fund-raising efforts during the Rowell Ranch Rodeo, helping to raise more than $40,000 that was given in grants to 16 local nonprofit organizations.
 
Hayward Rotary's annual Omelet Brunch will be held at Chabot College on Sunday, Nov. 10, with proceeds going toward supporting Interact clubs' participation in leadership programs.
 
Hayward Rotary's Interact Club chair is Patrick Landeza of Moreau Catholic High School and he will lead the presentation on Sept. 9. There also will be a presentation by the club's Youth Protection Services Officer Mona Diamantine. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Hayward Rotary Grant-Funded Locker Project at All Saints Complete
 
Hayward Rotary Club President Kim Huggett and youth services committee member Patrick Landeza toured All Saints School with principal Jennifer Diaz and librarian Cara Schott to view the beautiful locker painting project. More than 100 student lockers were painted as if they were book jackets, with each representing a book added to the school library. The project was funded by the club's community grants program. Last year, Hayward Rotary gave more than $140,000 in grants to 19 nonprofit organizations.
