From the Poway Rotary Club 4/1/08 The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) is undertaking a nationwide consumer awareness campaign to educate various groups about the issue of the Digital Television Transition, which is occurring on February 17, 2009. There are 64 million television sets that will not get TV reception after the transition from analog to digital is made, and we do not want people waking up the morning after with no television. Most people don’t even know this is happening, or what government options are available to prevent them from losing signal. Broadcasters from all over the country volunteer to go out into the community and speak about this. Several broadcasters who work for San Diego TV stations sign up to speak to Rotary Clubs in the area.

“Polio National Immunization Day in
India”. Dave travelled to India in February 2007 along with a
team of 30 other Rotarians to participate in the NID. It was an
intensely personal experience since Dave's mother is a polio
survivor. So far Dave have given this presentation at my club
(Fallbrook) as well as Fallbrook Village, Bonsall, and El Cajon.
As part of the presentation to Rotarians Dave gives each person
present (who wishes one) a “Goodbye Polio, Thanks Rotary” bumper
sticker. The presentation is 20 minutes long and encourages
questions for 5 more minutes. It utilizes PowerPoint. Dave
brings a laptop and projector, but needs an adequate screen
provided by the facility or club.

Recently, the FBI identified the San Diego Region as a "High Intensity Child Prostitution Area." Authorities also report that street gangs are now recruiting children from our local schools, shopping malls and the Internet to lure them into prostitution and pornography. In response to this growing crisis, the "Against Child Trafficking & the Prostitution of Teens In Our Neighborhoods" (ACTION) Network is charged with an urgent mission: to restore the lives of sexually exploited children and prevent child victimization through increased awareness, advocacy and collaboration in our communities. We accomplish our goals through eight committees. Our projects include work in the areas of support services, education & training, research, advocacy, outreach and child protection.

Based on his book "Going Solar: A
Homeowner’s Experience," Robert has produced a presentation
describing why he decided to invest in a solar system, how he
determined the appropriate system size, how he found qualified
installers, how he requested, received, and evaluated proposals
from solar system vendors, the installation process (with color
photos), how he funded the project, the rebate and tax credit
that he received, and the actual electrical cost savings
realized after 12 months of solar system operation. In his
presentation, he describes the tangible benefits of going solar
— reduced electric bills, increased home value, and less need
for carbon dioxide emissions by the local utility company. He is
doing his part to keep the air we breathe clean and fresh. Now
he wants to share his experience with others.

Anticipated Outcome
San Diego, CA
(858) 764-1969
Hans gives a highly interesting and
thought-provoking presentation on "How To Sink A Cruise Liner
Barehanded" which draws parallels to business and one's personal
life by stressing three points:
1.The importance of painting big
picture perspectives;
2. Why operator error is more
critical that technical failures; and
3. The need for engaging the human
intellect of all personnel.
With change being inevitable in
today's world, Hans' main theme is to assist organizations to
overcome resistance to change and to double their productivity
with half the manpower.
He is the author of the soon to be
published book "Fly Your Business To New Heights."
Hans is an excellent public speaker
whose presentation
will leave you thinking about
changes you may need to make in your business and/or personal
life.
