ROTARY AWARENESS
MONTH
During this month, Rotarians are
encouraged to share with the community
the vast work Rotarians do.
The more they know what we do , the
more we can do.
During the 30th week of Rotary
Year 2018-2019, the Rotary Club
Of Warren welcomed Reggie Rooks’
guest and office manager, Lisa
Robinson. Ken LaPolla then
proceeded to entertain us with the
following tale:
A sales rep, an administration
clerk, and the manager are walking
to lunch when they find an antique
oil lamp.
They rub it, and a genie comes
out. The genie says, “I’ll give each
of you just one wish.” “Me first!
Me first!” says the administration
clerk. “I want to be in the
Bahamas, driving a speedboat,
without a care in the world.” Poof! She’s gone.
“Me next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii,
relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of
Pina Coladas, and the love of my life.” Poof! He’s gone.
“OK, you’re up,” the genie says to the manager. The manager
says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.”

Of the things we think, say
or do:
Is it the truth?
Is it fair to all concerned?
Will it build goodwill and
better friendship?
Will it be
beneficial to all concerned?

THE RESULTS ARE IN! The American Red Cross Blood Drive was a huge
success! Many thanks to those Rotarians who helped out on December 21,
2018. 101 donors registered, and 88 pints of blood were collected to
help 264 patients.
SPREAD THE NEWS: District 6650 is looking for interested students to
take part in its short-term exchange program (STEP) which is offered in
the summer. Students usually do a home-to-home stay, meaning they’re
paired with a host brother or sister and the host sibling spends three to
four weeks living with exchange student’s family here in the U.S.A. and
then the student travels abroad and stays with the host sibling and their
family for three to four weeks. Applications will be accepted through
March, 2019. The application can be found at http://rotary6650yep.com
Kelli Hulea, chair for Rotary District 6650’s STEP may come to speak with
66 our members in the near future.

GOT A MESS? CALL DRS!
Owned and operated
by Warren Rotary’s very
own Reggie Rooks, Disaster
Recovery Services (DRS) is
a non-franchised, full-
service restoration
company. Since 1986,
they have worked with
insurance carriers to
restore homes to their
pre- loss condition
following disasters, such as fires, flooding, sewage
back-up, vehicle impacts,
and storm damage. Their
services include: smoke
services mitigation, structural and
content cleaning, elimination of odors, laundry service, HVAC/duct work
cleaning, emergency heat, water mitigation, and full repairs. Reggie’s
team of 17 employees have 160 years of collective experience!
Following a disaster, once the home situation is assessed, household
items that are irreparably damaged are disposed of. Items that can be
restored are inventoried and cataloged through pictures, carefully
packed, and moved to the DRS secured and climate-controlled
warehouse. At their cleaning facility, staff members are professionally trained
to complete ultrasonic cleaning on even the most delicate items. They
restore furniture, home furnishings, antiques, collectibles, jewelry,
dishes and glassware, clothing , and more. Specialized techniques and
equipment can also be used to restore sensitive items like electronics.
After your home is cleaned and repaired, its contents are delivered back
to you, and your home is put back together! Similar services are also
offered to commercial buildings, schools, churches, and retail centers.
DRS serves a five county area, including Trumbull, Mahoning,
Ashtabula, Geauga, and Portage, and handles hundreds of claims each
year. DRS continues to grow, and Reggie is currently working on plans
to to expand and open another property. In addition to full restoration
services, they offer continuing education classes every other month.
Many thanks, Reggie, for a really interesting and informative
presentation. We wish you continued success in your business!
