Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Central Citrus County were busy Saturday
morning doing roadside cleanup on Hwy 491 north of Hwy 486. 13 Rotarians,
RYE students & family members participated in the cleanup. The Rotary Club

The morning was cool making it much easier walking and picking up trash.
Rotary Club of Central Citrus County has completed dictionary distribution
for 3 schools: Hernando Elementary, Forest Ridge Elementary & Central
Ridge Elementary. Giving out dictionaries is one of the most enjoyable
activities that a Rotarian can do serving the community. The 3rd grade
students are happy to get their own dictionary and have so many questions.
Martin Kovac, an Rotary Exchange Student for Slovakia was at the
schools helping distribute dictionaries. He spoke in Slovakian for them
and then translated it to English. The kids were really excited them this.
We appreciate having this opportunity to serve. The kids all wrote
thank you notes to Rotary for the dictionaries.

Club members had an interesting & important message from Ron Hipner about
how water affects health. The body is 70%-80% water and needs a sufficient
amount of water each day to function properly. He also said there are studies that
show live food digests easier & contains antioxidants that slow the aging process
and reduce inflammation. Your body needs the proper acid/alkaline balance.
