We had a great lunch meeting at Kenosha Innovation Center today with a delicious lunch provided by Portside Catering. A big Thank you to Rotarian Steve Soto and M3 Insurance for helping us set up today's meeting. Our speakers today were Peter Barca and Gina Washington. Peter is the State Chair of the Natural Allies for Clean Energy Fuel. Natural Allies is a coalition dedicated to promoting practical, inclusive energy solutions that drive climate progress while protecting affordability and reliability. We advocate for a balanced, all-of-the-above energy strategy—uniting natural gas and renewables—to build a sustainable, equitable, and secure energy future for every community. Their goal is to achieve measurable emissions reductions in the U.S. and abroad by advancing and modernizing America’s natural gas infrastructure. Through these efforts, we aim to meet growing energy demand with reliable, low-cost solutions that strengthen the U.S. economy, bolster our allies, and ensure affordable access to clean energy for all communities. For a long time, reliability of energy was the concern, now it is affordability and for the first time, energy is becoming nonpartisan and people from both sides of the aisle are looking at it in the same way. Power demand increases daily and all energy companies have a goal of eliminating the use of coal by 2030. Work continues to look at all options such as wind, solar, hydro and geothermal to make renewable energy affordable and reliable. https://www.naturalalliesforcleanenergy.org/

Alex Berce, pharmacist at Good Value Pharmacy, was our speaker this week. Alex shared what are the changes that happen as we age and how medications can affect us differently due to a slower metabolism, reduced kidney and liver functioning which requires medication’s longer than to breakdown. He discussed poly Pharmacy and interactions that occur when taking multiple medications and the importance of being sure somebody is checking that and doing a medication comparison, and that our central nervous system becomes more sensitive to pain medication’s which could cause confusion and risk for falls. If you’re not getting your medication’s at one of good values, many pharmacies you should be, they take the extra steps necessary for all of us whether it’s Home delivery, pre-packaging of medication’s, medication reviews for interactions, or medication synchronization where they will align your refill so that you are only having to Pickup once a month! Thank you, Alex for a very informative talk!
