Appreciation Letters

February 24, 2000

Dear Jim,

Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to speak to the East Bremerton Rotary Club this past week regarding "The Four Pillars of Health."

I must admit when you first called I was skeptical about the potential for a "sales pitch", but you gave a tremendously informative talk with ideas on how to improve personal health through nutrition and exercise. And you never mentioned your company!

An obvious indicator of how well the club received your talk was the exceptionally high volume of questions you were barraged with upon completing your presentation.

Thanks again for visiting the East Bremerton Rotary Club. I enjoyed the opportunity to spend the morning with you.

Gratefully,
Victor C. Ulsh
Program Chairman
East Bremerton Rotary Club, Bremerton, Wa.

To Whom It May Concern:

We recently had Jim Johnston present his program entitled "The Four Pillars of Health" to our Rotary Club and I can say that all of our members were very pleased with this program concerning your health and properly taking care of your body.

Many members, me included, were concerned this was another thirty minute infomercial for some product or products which he was going to push at the end of the meeting.

I can say that no products were pushed and that Jim's presentation and the message he delivers should be heard by everyone wanting or needing to maintain their health.

Based on the presentation made to our club I can assure you that Jim's program and message will be accepted and enjoyed be a majority of your listeners.

Sincerely,
Joe L. Murin, President
Rotary Club of Reno, Nevada

Dear Jim,

I just wanted to write and thank you for your very informative and entertaining presentation on "The Four Pillars of Health" before the Phoenix Rotary Club #100 this past Friday.

The comments I heard were overwhelmingly positive. As you know, our club is the largest and oldest service club in Arizona. We are quite fortunate in the caliber of programs which we are able to attract and as a result our membership is not easily impressed. I believe that you succeeded.

Thank you again.

Sincerely,
Kenneth Hubbard
Program Chairman

Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to speak with the Rotary Club of San Bernardino. Your presentation was as I had expected....fantastic!! I really appreciated you putting such a first-quality show together in such a limited time frame. I know there were quite a few comments about your talk. A good indication of a great talk is when the time is up and no one wanted you to leave!! I have heard quite a few speakers and you were excellent! Great job!

Thanks for all you are doing to make the Inland Empire a better place to live.

Dear Jim,

Thank you for speaking to our club last Wednesday. I know I speak for many of the members who were as interested as I was in hearing about how to change our eating habits and lifestyles in order to extend out lives.

The delivery of your topic as well as your use of props was a welcome change from the normal 'sit and listen' style of speech.

Thanks again for sharing your program with us. Sorry for the confusion but thanks for coming through for us. We all wish you the best for the future! Also please thank Devin for us. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Ronald C. Erbetta, Chairman

Dear Jim,

Thank you for the very interesting and informative talk last week at our club meeting. I know most everyone got a lot out of it. Not only did you give us some food for thought (pardon the pun) in taking care of our bodies but some simple action steps as well. You may have inspired some of us to actually keep our New Year's Resolutions.

Good luck and best of health to you in the new year.

Sincerely,
Keith Hanson

Dear Mr. Johnston:

Thank you, on behalf of the Alameda Rotary Club for your talk. Your presentation was very informative. In addition, thank you for allowing time for questions. Your willingness to phone people to answer specific questions was amazing.

In talking with Rotarians, I heard many favorable comments. It was a pleasure to have you as our guest. On a personal note, I'll always have you to thank for banishing Chicken Corn Chowder from our home.

Dear Jim:

Thank you for driving through some of the most severe El Nino weather we have experienced this year to meet your commitment to speak at the Saratoga Rotary on February 6, 1998. When you arrived from Sacramento in spite of the storm, I knew we had invited a special person. Your inspirational message, "The Four Pillars of Health", fully reinforced my feelings. Not only was your message timely, but the relaxed manner in which it was delivered ( and the fact that you had mastered so many of the names of Rotary members) made it doubly enjoyable. It is obvious how much you care about getting your message across. I was also pleased to see how many Rotarians stayed after the meeting to continue conversation with you.

It is through commitment of folks like you that Rotary meetings continue to enrich the lives of its members. It was a pleasure to meet you.

Best regards,
Marchelle S. Fox
Program Director
The Rotary Club of Saratoga, Ca.

Dear Jim:

Many thanks for your presentation of "The Four Pillars of Health". The subject matter obviously captured the attention of all attending yesterday's meeting.

Your ability to establish a personal rapport with your audience and then keep them riveted on the theme of your presentation was outstanding. You deliver a timely message in a clear common sensical way that is uncommonly effective.

Your program was right at the top of the quality programs that our club has been fortunate enough to have this year or, for that matter, any year. It's a message we all need to keep focused upon.

Thank you again for sharing such vital information with us. I particularly appreciate the fact that you have such a high regard for Rotary and all it does.

Sincerely yours,
Kel Kellner
Program Chairperson & President-Elect
Rotary Club of East Sacramento, Sacramento, Ca.

Dear Jim,

As program chairman for the June 22nd meeting of the Rotary Club of Incline Village, I want to thank you for an excellent presentation on "The Four Pillars of Health". You kept the attention of all of us with information on how to live a life of quality. Some of the members were concerned that you might try to sell some product as part of your presentation. Thankfully, you had nothing to sell. Instead, you gave us quality advice from the wealth of your own knowledge on the subject.

Many other members offered their favorable comments.

Thanks again for an excellent program.

Very Sincerely,
Lloyd R. Swenson
Program Director
Rotary Club of Incline Village, Incline Village, Nevada
