Tiffany Rockstroh
President of The Preferred Legacy Trust Company
Tiffany Rockstroh started her career in the financial industry in 1999, where she developed a knack as a branch turnaround specialist, turning non-producing branches into profitable sales machines. Her nonstop attitude allowed her to break into various high net-worth client markets, which allowed her to easily step into her next role of Private Banker, in multiple markets in Northeast Ohio. In August of 2010, she eagerly accepted the position to lead and develop Private Banking for a small turn-around bank. During the seven years as Director of Private Banking, she grew her private banking department into a profitable center for the bank, adding more than $700K to the bottom line of the bank.
Her most recent role as President for Preferred Legacy Trust Company has allowed her to focus on what she does best, servicing her clients. Her team works for clients as a conduit to their financial partners. Generally, they work with high net-worth clients to simplify their everyday life. They take into consideration the clients' full balance sheet while working to increase their wealth and helping them to mitigate their way through the red tape of finance. Her team places the focus on service, and their motto is: life is tough, finances shouldn't be.
Tiffany is actively involved in her local community and currently is a member of the Women’s Impact Group and the treasurer of the Jackson Township Rotary Club and a two term Past President for the Jackson Township Rotary Club.

Rotary International has long held the fight to eradicate polio as it’s signature fundraising effort. Over $6,000 was raised during the July 13, 2022 End Polio Night at the Cleveland Guardians baseball game versus the Chicago White Sox.
Last year more than 300 Rotarians in District 6630, along with those is Districts 6600 and 6650 were in attendance.
Each received an End Polio Now t-shirt along with their ticket to the baseball game. Congratulations to Dean Thayer of the North Hampton-Cuyahoga Valley Club who was chosen to throw out the first pitch. The fun continued in the Terrace Club as raffle baskets with autographed jerseys, bats, baseballs and other great prizes brought in over $1,800. Special thanks to the Guardians own Bob Dibiasio, who came by to visit. with Rotarians during the event. Bob’s visit helped ease the sting of the Guardians loss to the White Sox, 2-1.
As 2022-2023 Rotary International President Jennifer Jones reminds us, “ As long as polio exists somewhere, it’s a threat everywhere.” With that in mind and with our commitment to “ Service Above Self” Rotary will continue this important mission throughout the coming year.
See the District 6630 flyer below and sign up now for August 17, 2023.

The Rotary Club of Akron welcomed Dr. Wes Fair and Ms. Jessica Purdy to our Tuesday, July 25, 2023, Club luncheon meeting and appreciated their presentation on the various programs offered by Shelter Care, Inc. in their service to adolescents and young adults.
What does Shelter Care Do?
Their Mission:
To provide healing, restore hope, and recognize the value of young people and families in need.
History:
Dave Fair founded Shelter Care Inc. in the fall of 1972, when he and Juvenile Court Judge, William P. Kannel noticed a significant increase in the number of children who were being brought to the court’s attention for non-delinquent charges; particularly, running away from home due to severe family conflict, neglect, and abuse. With the support of the Chapel at Fir Hill, Dave secured a home in Akron that would operate as the first Shelter Care home. This was the inception of the Shelter Home Program and the beginning of Shelter Care.
Throughout its 50 years, Shelter Care has responded to the needs of the youth and families in Summit and the surrounding counties. In 1978, the Junior League was operating a shelter for runaway teens, but reached out to merge with Shelter Care so more youth could be served. Dave was able to create the Safe Landing Youth Shelter Program as a second division beneath the Shelter Care umbrella.
The Respite Care Program came about in 1990 at the request of the Director of Child Guidance and Family Solutions to create a short-term residential program for youth who needed scheduled breaks from home due to family conflict. Additionally, the Highlands Teen Pregnancy Shelter was established in 2005 as the only licensed teen pregnancy shelter in the state of Ohio at the request of Summit County Children Services to create a program for homeless, or at-risk teen girls who were either pregnant or parenting a child under three years of age.
In 2008, Shelter Care continued to respond to the needs in the community by establishing the Street Outreach Services Program to meet the needs of at-risk and homeless youth and young adults through street based and drop-in services. Most recently in 2022, Shelter Care established its Outpatient Counseling Center Program to provide counseling to individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
For further information about each of their programs, check out their website at www.sc72.org. Below you will find two flyers for a couple of upcoming events orclick here to download the flyers.
