She became the Chief Executive Officer in 2022. Heidi spent 32 years as a Paralegal\, many of which were spent in family law and also working with those charged with offenses surrounding substance misuse. She worked as a Trial Assistant and was the law office manager for 12 of those years. She also served for 4 years as a Township Committeewoman. Her career began after obtaining a B.A. in Human Services and an A.A.S. in Paralegal Studies. During her study\, she was the President of the Legal Assistants’ Association and member of an AD HOC Committee. She also received a Distinguished Service Award for public speaking to youth on the importance of education. \nAfter undergraduate school\, Heidi took the LSATs and applied to law schools. Although she was accepted to law school\, she decided to pursue another passion – helping individuals and the community to prevent the onset of substance use disorders and help those working toward recovery. She began working for a drug and alcohol treatment center in hope of assisting individuals better transition into daily life upon release. She then became a Drug and Alcohol Prevention Specialist for middle and high school children. She also volunteered in two separate correctional facilities’ Women’s Substance Abuse Treatment Programs. She is also affiliated with many of the local and county social service organizations. \nHeidi has since earned numerous credits and certifications within the behavioral health\, substance use disorder and prevention field\, including Mental Health First Aid\, Recovery Ambassador Training\, courses to improve family relationships\, lifeskills\, the connection between trauma and substance use disorders\, many courses in applying science to practice to reduce substance use\, overdose prevention and Naloxone training\, trainer of trainers for evidence-based programs\, leader training\, recovery leadership\, and many workshops on developing a Recovery Community Organization. As a person in long-term recovery\, she believes it is essential to bridge the gap between clinical care and for aftercare for those that need peer support and other assistance. Using her skills\, education\, professional\, and personal experiences to help advocate\, educate\, reduce stigma\, and help those to recover is her main priority and passion. Heidi is extremely grateful to be involved with Kimmie’s Recovery Zone\, a non-profit Recovery Community Organization. To learn more about Kimmie’s Recovery Zone or to donate to this non-profit organization\, please visit www.kimmiesrecoveryzone.org. \nOutside of her employment with Kimmie’s Recovery Zone and other endeavors\, Heidi enjoys her family\, friends\, puppies\, and passion for photography. During an exploratory and transitional phase after leaving the legal profession\, Heidi pursued her desire to learn photography by enrolling in a community college certificate program. She loved it so much\, she furthered her education in digital photography and Photoshop. Heidi became a professional photographer with her own licensed and insured company\, with gallery showings. Just prior to this transitional time she also owned and operated a sunglass business while designing styles for manufacturing – the thought was to have fun while earning and raising money to donate proceeds to a designated non-profit organization. \nAt this time\, Heidi looks forward to helping expand the services provided by Kimmie’s Recovery Zone and the reach within and outside of the community to help save and change lives and to create a positive impact. \nPlease Note: This week’s meeting will be held on the enclosed deck at Shoeless Joe’s\, located at the DoubleTree by Hilton at Bell Tower Shops. \nWEEKLY SUNRISE MEETING\nJoin us on Wednesday on the enclosed deck at Shoeless Joe’s (at the DoubleTree by Hilton at Bell Tower Shops)\n13051 Bell Tower Drive\, FL\, 33907\nLET US KNOW YOU ARE ATTENDING\nCan’t Make it?\nJoin our Zoom Meeting – 2 Ways to Join\nONEClick on the link to our ZOOM ROOM below.

SUMMARY:Featured Speaker: Kevin Wensley
DESCRIPTION:Featured Speaker for August 20th Meeting:Kevin Wensley\nKevin has spent most of his life in\, on\, and around sailboats—sailing\, fixing\, racing\, breaking\, selling\, coaching on them\, and\, on rare and adventurous occasions\, even sinking them. His journey took a decisive turn in 1998 when marriage and a technology start-up\, led by his good friend Laurence Holt (creator of Stikky Books)\, brought him to Manhattan. While his wife Clare became the first U.S.-based partner for a UK software company\, Kevin immersed himself in the sailing world—joining the leadership team of the BT Global Challenge\, “the world’s toughest yacht race\,” in San Francisco\, and later moving to Florida to ultimately serve as operations director for the largest commercial sailing school in the United States. \nHis connection to Stikky Books came naturally. As the editor of SAIL Magazine put it\, the series can make you “never look at a night sky the same way again”—a sentiment Kevin enthusiastically echoes. Stikky really does change the way we experience the world. After a brief early-2000s pilot launch of Stikky in a pre-social media\, pre-self-publishing era\, the project went quiet. Two decades later\, with the publishing landscape transformed and Laurence armed with a master’s in neuroscience from Columbia\, the revitalized Stikky series is ready for a new audience. \nDear Rotary Club Members – I’d like to invite you to take the “Stikky Review Challenge”.\nStikky Books (Stikky.com) are a series of visual\, pattern-based guides designed to teach practical skills in just one hour. These books\, covering topics from wine appreciation and reading stock charts to identifying constellations\, animal tracks\, and wilderness survival\, are fun\, fast\, and surprisingly effective. \n\n\n\nCreated by my close friend Laurence Holt\, who has a Master’s in neuroscience from Columbia\, these books make learning intuitive and “sticky.” (Pun intended)\nEach book uses visual patterns\, minimal text\, dynamic repetition\, and self-testing to teach a practical skill in just one hour.\nCurrent titles include Stikky Stock Charts\, Stikky Tracks\, and Stikky Night Skies with upcoming titles launching before the Holidays are Stikky Survival and Stikky Wine.\n\n\n\n\nAn unexpected outcome of Stikky is the positive impact on mental health: \n\n\n\n\nPattern-based learning mirrors how our brains naturally absorb and retain information.\nMini-quizzes and visual repetition reinforce memory without feeling like studying.\nThe “DOSE” chemicals (Dopamine\, Oxytocin\, Serotonin\, Endorphins) are naturally activated through the Stikky experience:\n\nDopamine: Every page offers a reward moment.\nOxytocin:Encourages shared learning with friends or family.\nSerotonin:Promotes outdoor exploration.\nEndorphins:Encourages movement and nature walks.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHere’s the challenge. \nWould you be willing to review one of the following titles – Stikky Stock Charts\, Stikky Tracks\, or Stikky Night Skies for about 20 minutes then give a review of your thoughts that we can share with the world? In return you can keep your copy of the book? \nJust let me know a name and an email address and I will endeavor to bring a copy of that title with me to breakfast on the 20th. If you are unable to attend breakfast but would still like to take part then please share a mailing address and we will mail a copy (15 books available on a first come basis). If you have agreed to take part and have received a copy of your chosen title we will schedule a quick video call to get your feedback. We can schedule that call on the 20th. If time and logistics allow I’d be delighted to get your feedback on the 20th. \nThe Stikky Challenge has significantly boosted sales\, as evidenced by our sales graph below. Participants select a title\, spend 20 minutes with the book\, and then share their feedback. This approach isn’t just about selling; it’s about sparking curiosity and sharing joy. \nTo participate in the Stikky Challenge\, please reach out to Kevin via email at kevin.wensley@stikky.com. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStikky Stock ChartsLearn MoreStikky TracksLearn MoreStikky Night SkiesLearn MoreWEEKLY SUNRISE MEETING\nJoin us on Wednesday at the DoubleTree by Hilton at Bell Tower Shops\n13051 Bell Tower Drive\, FL\, 33907\nLET US KNOW YOU ARE ATTENDING\nCan’t Make it?\nJoin our Zoom Meeting – 2 Ways to Join\nONEClick on the link to our ZOOM ROOM below.
