RI in Nigeria
Nov. 08, 2017
I traveled to Nigeria for RI last September and I have been presenting the story of my trip ever since. It looks like the date would be Nov. 8. Actually, Jon traveled to Nigeria last January and he would be an excellent speaker if this date does not work for you. Just a little background, I am an AG in District 7780 and I have been fortunate enough to complete two Global Grants for work in Zambia. This spring I worked on a water project in the Dominican Republic. I guess you could say that my Rotary passion is International Service |

RotoPlast Founder
Dec. 06, 2017
NOTRE DAME, Ind. - The Notre Dame Monogram Club is pleased to announce that the 2014 Edward "Moose" Krause Distinguished Service Award will be presented to Rotaplast co-founder and medical director Dr. Angelo Capozzi ('56, baseball). Dr. Capozzi will receive the organization's highest honor at An Evening With the Monogram Club, on Saturday, April 12 in Sports Heritage Hall, following the 85th edition of the Blue Gold Game. "Dr. Capozzi has taken that concept of service to mankind that we all learned here at Notre Dame and put it into action," Monogram Club past president (2009-11) and Awards Committee chair Joe Restic ('79, football) said. "He has been directly involved with over 50 medical missions all over the world to treat children born with a cleft lip or palate deformity. It is this extraordinary commitment and involvement with youth that makes him the ideal recipient for this year's Moose Krause Award." After graduating from Notre Dame with honors in 1956, Capozzi attended the Stritch School of Medicine at Loyola University in Chicago. He completed general surgery training at St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, Ill., and plastic surgery training at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, before joining the Air Force. Stationed at the Travis Air Force base in Fairfield, Calif., Capozzi served as Chief Plastic Surgeon until 1968, when he began private practice in San Francisco. In 1976, Capozzi made his first international mission, joining Interplast (now called ReSurge) on a trip to Mexicali, Mexico, to assist children with cleft lip and palate. Nearly 40 years and over 60 mission trips later, he is still working to improve the lives of children around the world. Today, Capozzi serves as medical director and co-founder of Rotaplast, an organization established with Rotary International in 199 |

An easy yet effective form of neurofeedback can now delete self-created stress. LENS Nurofeedback is a low energy mico-pulse that stimulates brain pathways. This information shows the brain how to let go of negative emotional patterns and rebuild healthy neural networks without medication. Passive, brief treatments relieve symptoms of disorders while supporting healthy brain development for easier thinking and renewed confidence. LENS addresses common procrastination, memory, and focus, as well as clinical ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, Parkinson's, TBI/concussions, recovery, and learning issues. THis talk will be accompanied by a demonstration; Volunteers are urged to fill out the intake form at EchoRockNeurotherapy.com homepage. Victoria Vogel and Grant Rudolph are licensed psychotherapists who have directed Echo Rock Neurotherapy Clinic in Mill Valley since 1986. They have conducted over 20,000 sessions, and can speak from experience to whether LENS will work for any individual. The Echo Rock non-profit arm treats disadvantaged children with head trauma and learning difficulties. Grant is working with a startup to bring this technology to millions of people in their homes. |

Your business Legacy
Jan. 10, 2018
I come from a family of entrepreneurs. My father founded his automobile dealership in 1952. When he passed away prematurely in 1965, neither my brother nor I were prepared to take over the business. My mother sold his business after another year or two because it was too much for her to oversee. If I had known then what I know now, I would have advised her to consider other options that would have ensured the final years of her life were even more comfortable. But more importantly, I would have advised my dad to put in place a comprehensive plan to ensure my mother benefited from the full value of the business legacy he had created and worked so hard for. My passion is helping family business owners realize their dreams—for themselves, for their families, for their employees and other stakeholders, and to retire successfully and comfortably. I help individuals and their businesses achieve phenomenal, enduring success. I’ve worked with businesses of all sizes in a variety of capacities—business strategist; management, marketing and sales consultant; sales, marketing, and systems development manager; intrapreneur (in-house entrepreneur); and systems designer; custom education solutions consultant; and educator. I hold a Ph.D. in Executive Management from the Peter F. Drucker Graduate School of Management at Claremont Graduate University and an M.S. in Mathematics from the University of Michigan. My AB degree in Mathematics is from Humboldt State University. I am a member of the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics and the Association for Transpersonal Psychology |
