Peninsula Open Space Trust
Sep 26, 2018
Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) is a nonprofit whose mission is to protect and care for open space, farms, and parkland in and around Silicon Valley. Hear from Tonya Treble about POST's 40-year history, successes in protecting over 76,000 acres (contributing to the state and county parks and open space preserves that make our region extraordinary), and updates on POST's five program areas. Kevin Ice, POST's Coyote Valley Project Manager, will dive deeper into POST's role in the Coyote Valley's protection. Coyote Valley is one of the last remaining large, undeveloped valley floors in our region, connecting over one million acres of core wildlife habitat across two mountain ranges, the Santa Cruz and Diablo Ranges. Kevin will explain how POST's work in Coyote Valley will safeguard wildlife passageways between the two mountain ranges and protect our region’s biodiversity, buffer adjacent and downstream communities against flood risk, preserve the largest drinking water aquifer recharge area in Santa Clara County to benefit both our supply and quality of drinking water, and promote environmentally-friendly agricultural and recreational activities. Kevin will answer your questions about POST's, and our partner the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority's, work in Coyote Valley to protect and uplift the uniquely critical Coyote Valley landscape. |

Recent Criminal Justice Reform Efforts and Cases
Nov 14, 2018
Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen is a nationally-recognized leader in criminal justice reform. As District Attorney, Mr. Rosen created an innovative and nationally acclaimed Conviction Integrity Unit to investigate innocence claims and implement the most professional practices in criminal prosecution. Mr. Rosen established a Cold Case Unit to investigate unsolved murders and a misdemeanor diversion program for low-level offenders. He created a series of Family Justice Centers throughout the county, making sure domestic violence survivors had easier access to legal help and other resources. Inspired by the Brock Turner conviction, Mr. Rosen helped change the law in California to ensure prison sentences for those convicted of sexually assaulting unconscious and intoxicated victims. Mr. Rosen joined the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office as a prosecutor in 1995. During his career, he successfully prosecuted some of the most difficult, complex and high profile criminal cases, including drug trafficking, burglary, robbery, rape, child molestation, gang violence, and murder. In his last remaining case before taking Office as District Attorney, he obtained first degree murder convictions and life sentences against the defendants whose murder-for-hire scheme resulted in the slaying of Los Gatos businessman Mark Achilli. Mr. Rosen received his undergraduate degree from UCLA where he majored in Philosophy and graduated Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa. He also won the prestigious Truman Scholarship and the Outstanding Senior Award. Mr. Rosen received his law degree from UC Berkeley School of Law, where he served on the Moot Court Board and taught English to immigrants. Mr. Rosen's wife serves as a Superior Court Judge for the State of California. They have two daughters. Mr. Rosen enjoys playing sports, reading, and cheering for the Green Bay Packers.

Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and we have been busy developing our list of volunteers over the last several meetings.
Each year, Cupertino Rotary partners with Cupertino Safeway to purchase 100+ pre-prepared Thanksgiving meals which our members deliver Thanksgiving morning to recipient families that have been pre-selected by local community-based organizations as families that can definitely use this help.
Thanksgiving morning, we gather at the Safeway parking lot (De Anza and Homestead) at 8:30 am. Volunteers check in and are given the contact information with a map showing the directions to the house(s) of their recipient(s).
Shortly after 8:30 am, Safeway staff wheel out the prepared, pre-cooked meals. Our Interact Club members and Boy Scouts then assist in carrying the meals to the cars of the volunteers delivering them. The volunteers deliver the meals between 9:30 am and 10:30 am and then return home to enjoy Thanksgiving with their families.
Last year, just over 60 members volunteered to deliver meals Thanksgiving morning.
In addition to volunteering to delivery meals we need a few extra helpers.
Sign-up sheets will continue to be at every meeting, but feel free to email me at nspgeorge@gmail.com too or sign up on the link to the left.
I hope you will be able to help us this year. It’s a very rewarding program that brings smiles and sometimes even tears of joy to the recipients and sometimes the volunteers delivering them, too. It can be a good family event, very much in keeping with the spirit of Thanksgiving and Cupertino Rotary.
Thank you in advance,
And thank you for continuing to support this program.

Performing Artist Jenn Grinels
Dec 05, 2018
Jenn Grinels is nationally touring singer/songwriter, recording artist and composer. The Nashville based musician has spent most of the past eleven years performing nearly 1500 concerts in venues ranging from Villa Montalvo to Lincoln Center, performing arts centers to listening rooms, living rooms and universities. She has shared the stage with artists including the 10,000 Maniacs, Christopher Cross, Marc Broussard, Edwin McCain, and Marc Cohn.
Raised right here in Cupertino, CA, Grinels' path to music started with local musical theater productions, school and choir choirs, and a garage band that consisted of jazz students from Monta Vista, Fremont, and Homestead High school. After studying musical theater at UC Irvine and working steadily in professional theaters around Southern California, Grinels completed her first studio album of original music in 2007 and set out on what was initially planned as a 6-month tour across the country. That tour turned into 10 years. In that time she has completed a second studio album and a sold out, limited release live album. Recently, Grinels was awarded a commission from B-Side Theatricals in New York City and is composing her first theatrical musical.
Grinels considers herself a grassroots independent artist, initially building her career through non-stop touring, CD sales, and word of mouth. But with the upheaval of the music industry, she and her supporters have learned to adapt, finding new business models and creative paths to make music.
Last year, Grinels’ fans supported her creative process using a website called Patreon.com. With that support, she was able to take a break from a hectic touring schedule and went abroad to focus on writing. At the end of this year, Grinels will release her third studio album thanks to a successful fundraising effort using Kickstarter.com. |

President Theodore Roosevelt
Dec 19, 2018
Theodore Roosevelt, the twenty-sixth President of the United States, is often considered the first “modern president”. More than any other national leader or individual American, he is responsible for America’s rise to world leadership status. Conservationist, soldier, statesman, scholar, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and Medal of Honor recipient, he remains one of America’s best models of presidential, global, and executive leadership. Visionary, crisis manager, charismatic communicator, strategic thinker, negotiator and decision maker, he was the most distinguished and accomplished transformational leader of his age. As we examine and evaluate our presidents and other national and global leaders, it will be helpful to see how they compare with TR. He is the model of presidential and global leadership for modern times.
Instructor: David S. Rader, (daverader@me.com,) teaches for academia, business, government, and the military. He served in the United States Air Force from 1967-1971. He has taught as an adjunct instructor at numerous colleges and universities (forty years) in several disciplines (History, Political Science, International Studies, International Business). He has taught in the United States and abroad and has worked in the securities, real estate, high tech, and defense industries. |

Bob Pagett attended Bethany Bible College in California after attending Mesa Jr. College in Grand Junction Colorado. After graduation, he and his wife Char, moved to Portland, Oregon where he became a Youth pastor. One year later, he became the Youth pastor in one of the largest churches in the Northwest, in Eugene, CA. Bob attended the University of Oregon studying History and was asked to be the State Youth and Education Leader for 240 churches in Oregon. After an 8-year term, Bob was asked by the Governor of Oregon to sit on a committee dealing with drug addiction among young people while also being offered the pastor position at the Christian Center Church in Santa Cruz. He accepted the pastor position and grew the church from 200 attenders to over 1000. In1989, Bob was challenged to relocate his church to accommodate the growing number of attendees. With his daily prayers for a new church location unanswered, he decided to leave the church and instead start Assist International.

Predicting Earthquakes
Mar 13, 2019
Why do earthquakes start? What makes them get big? Why do they stop? Professor Emily Brodsky tries to answer these questions by studying earthquake triggering, hydrogeology, fault zone structure and friction. These studies require using tools from a variety of geoscience disciplines including seismology, hydrogeology, structural geology, and rock mechanics. Dr. Brodsky is a professor and earthquake physicist at UC Santa Cruz. Her research focuses on connecting empirical observations of earthquakes with fundamental physical processes. She earned her A.B. from Harvard in 1995 and Ph.D. from Caltech in 2001. She is the recipient of the inaugural 2005 Charles Richter Early Career award from the Seismological Society of America, and the 2008 James Macelwane Medal from the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and she is an AGU Fellow. She has served on the Board of Directors of the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) and Incorporated Research Institutes for Seismology (IRIS). She has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles and presented over 150 invited lectures talks in 30 states and 13 countries. Her work was been featured in major press outlets such as the BBC, NPR, Time Magazine, NY Times, Nature, Reuters, LA Times and The Wall Street Journal. |
