SUDBURY SUNRISERS

Are you an established professional who wants to make positive changes in your community and the world? Our club members are dedicated people who share a passion for community service and friendship. Becoming a Rotarian connects you with a diverse group who share your drive to give back.

At last weeks meeting Sunrisers had the privilege of meeting Julie Mayer, Registered Massage Therapist/Owner of Enchanted Therapeutic Massage on Douglas St and Angela Gray, R.N. and Executive Director of Independent Living Sudbury-Manitoulin (ILSM). Angela and Julie spoke to us about their efforts to foster an environment based on the independent living philosophy of self-determination and self-management in a community where everyone belongs. Did you know that there are 37,000 people in Sudbury who identify with living with a disability? ILSM offers, educational, social, and recreational organization for people with or without disabilities to spend time with each other in a safe and inclusive space. Julie is a successful business owner and RMT and the Chairwoman of the Board of Directors for ILSM. In 2012, Julie received her RMT Certificate at College Boreal while she was slowly losing her sight and eventually became blind by graduation. Thank you both for educating and raising awareness to our club about ILSM and the challenges they face. And the importance of referring to “abilities” rather than “disabilities”. If you were looking for an amazing RMT reach out to Julie to book a massage appointment today! Thank you for being our guest speakers this week Angela and Julie.
