On July 7th, the first independently organized Ted event will occur in Dublin with the topic being "Challenging the Status Quo" with 7 planned speakers talking about Innovation. These students are seeking volunteers to assist at the July 7th event.

========================================
Creating a Social Enterprise
Our guest speaker today was Merry Korn, President/CEO of Pearl Interactive (website is pinsourcing.com). Merry spoke about her personal journey with Pearl as an example of how to cultivate a Social Enterprise, i.e., a for-profit business that serves a social mission. At Pearl, they have focused on hiring disabled individuals, including disabled veterans, retired veterans, military spouses and other disenfranchised workers. She told some amazing stories of how they have enabled their workers to change their lives using technologies that allow remote contact center work. In addition to the good that they do through hiring the workers that they do, Pearl also has honed its mission to a social mission - remote health monitoring of those with chronic health issues.
Because of the attraction of both Enterprise and Government entities to Pearl's mission to hire disenfranchised workers, it is aiding them in growing the business profitably. Federal Government contracts have increased in particular because of the veterans they employ.
Announcements
- Strides for Sobriety 5K run is this Sunday. There is still an opportunity to participate - or to donate. Visit Columbus Running for more details or reach out to Jack Curtis.

Our club is expected to host the Taiwanese exchange students during the firs half of June. Reach out to Sharon if you are interested in being a host family.

Curling Presentation!
Thank You to Stephen and Jan Smith for providing a very entertaining and interesting presentation on the sport of curling. With the Olympics about to kick off, it was great to understand all of the details (the stone is made of a unique granite and way around 42 pounds), the methods (the broom sweeping actually speeds up the stone by heating the ice), the history and the rules!
Dublin City Schools Emerald Campus Update
Today's presentation featured Kristy Venne, Director of the Emerald Campus, and our club's own Dr. Todd Hoadley, Superintendent of Dublin City Schools. We also welcomed numerous guests to the meeting from Dublin Schools and the Board of Education, Tolles, Dublin City Council and the Dublin Schools Business Advisory Council.
Dr. Hoadley shared some facts about our schools; 16,300 students speaking 61 languages and coming from over 100 countries. Enrollment has grown 20% in the past decade and 40% of students live in the City of Columbus limits.
The Emerald Campus is located in the former Verizon Wireless building on Emerald Parkway across from Dublin Coffman High School. Instead of investing to build a traditional 4th high school, our schools leadership elected to pursue an innovative approach with a flexible space geared to innovative programming. At the heart of this decision is the need to address the changing workforce and changing economy that is requiring new approaches to educational opportunities for our kids.
Financially, a traditional 4th high school would cost taxpayers ~$100M, while the Emerald Campus facility will be 20% of that cost.
Ms. Venne discussed the various academies and programming that is available and will be available in the future at Emerald Campus. With a focus on a non-traditional, problem-based experiential learning approach, the academies include Engineering, Dublin Teachers, Young Professionals, Biomedical, and IT.
The school board is also considering a proposal to relocate the Central Office to the 4th floor of the Emerald Campus building and convert the current Central Office location to a preschool center to free up space in the elementary schools.
For more detailed information about the Emerald Campus programs visit www.dublinschools.net/emeraldcampus
Dublin is fortunate to have excellent schools with innovative leadership!

Veterans Day Remembrance
Thank you, Dave Williamson, for sharing your presentation today and reminding all of us of the meaning and purpose of Veterans Day.
Happy Veterans Day to all of our club members those family members and friends who are veterans.
Dave explained that Veterans Day was originally Armistice Day, commemorating the end of WW1. Veterans Days is celebrated on Nov. 11th because it was 11am, on 11/11 in 1918 that the armistice was executed to end WW1.
While Memorial Day honors the veterans who died in active combat, Veterans Day honors all Veterans - living and passed. Veterans are defined as those in Active Duty, Reserved Forces and National Guard.
Honoring our veterans is something that dates back to George Washington who spoke about the importance of our country holding veterans in high esteem. There are ~22M living veterans. When you add those living veterans to active duty military, this represents just 7.3% of the U.S. population.
Announcements
No Meeting on November 24th due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
December 8th is the Holiday Party - watch for the upcoming invitation email.
Dec. 4th 5:30-7:30 is our next shift at the Dublin Food Pantry to assist shoppers. Sign up on Club Runner or reach out to Jack Curtis.
The Polar Bear Open date has been changed to February 10th.

Below is a story from an interview with Sarah which you can listen to at https://cover2.org/ep-61-building-student-peer-recovery-communities-sarah-nerad-osu-collegiate-recovery-community/
Sarah is in recovery herself, after struggling with addiction since the age of 15. She discussed her substance abuse disorder and how community aided her recovery. “I felt very limited and trapped…But I’m really grateful that my high school community in Houston, Texas had a really strong youth recovery community and continuum of care. I never stopped receiving services, and that’s what made it so successful for me,” says Sarah.

Everything will occur in a single tent this year, and we will reconfigure the tent between the afternoon and evening activities.

District Governor Shane Pyle - Even Ordinary Rotarians are Extraordinary
This week's speaker was our District Governor, Shane Pyle. His presentation was part performance art, part stand-up comedy routine and part serious reminder of the purpose of Rotary. The main themes of his talk were about how even ordinary Rotarians do extraordinary things. He shared a story about how Rotary International's Polio Plus effort to eradicate polio worldwide began with an average Rotarian, an M.D. who convinced his local club to contribute to a service project to provide the polio vaccine to villages in need. Shane also spoke about how we need to balance the traditions or Rotary with the changing times. Our traditions can't be more important than our membership.
He also invited our club members to participate in the district conference - Zanesville 360 - May 19-20th at the Zane State campus.
Pyle is a third-generation Rotarian. He was born in 1964, the year his grandfather James Pyle was president of the Coshocton Rotary Club. His mother, Sandy Pyle, was club president in 2002-03, and his father Kevin Pyle was president-elect when he died in 2005. Shane served as club president in 2003-04, while his stepfather, Roger Viers, of the Gahanna Rotary Club, was District Governor of District 6690 in 2000-01.
Shane joined the Coshocton Rotary Club in 1998, and became very involved in district – level activities in Rotary, having served as assistant district governor, Rotary Youth Exchange, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), and district legislation. At the club level, Shane is involved with Youth Exchange, Rotary Foundation, Group Study Exchange, Kick Cancer, African Water Well projects and mosquito netting projects, and newsletter/social media editor.
Speaker Notes:
Our speaker today was Dr. Lisa Hinkelman and the topic, "What’s Going on For Girls and How Can We Help Them?”. This was a fascinating, concerning but hopeful discussion about how our society needs to improve experiences for girls in grades 5-12 to ensure they are happy, safe and able to realize all of their potential.
Dr. Lisa Hinkelman is the Founder and Director of Ruling Our eXperiences, an evidence-based empowerment program for girls that focuses on equipping girls with skills to effectively negotiate the challenges of adolescence. Started in 2006 in Columbus, Ohio, ROX has grown to a nationally operated program with thousands of participants in urban, suburban, and rural schools. Hinkelman has spent years working with girls, parents, and educators in both educational and counseling settings and has been aggressively researching the experiences of diverse girls for the past ten years.
Dr. Hinkelman's presentation from today:
The life of an adolescent girl can be hard: dealing with friendships and girl drama, navigating dating relationships and sexual pressure, battling concerns with weight and body image, and coping with stress and pressure. All of these issues are currently influencing the lives of girls. Add to this the constant usage of technology and social media, and these struggles are significantly amplified. Technology is more present than ever, and the temptation to engage frequently with social media can be challenging for girls to manage. These factors make middle and high school years challenging for many students— and particularly difficult for girls. Girls often report feelings of isolation, self-consciousness, and sadness and even experience depression and anxiety—at twice the rate of boys. The reality is that there is relevant and important local and national data that we will share on how girls are feeling, experiencing themselves and other girls, what they think about their options and futures, and what they want and need from the adults in their lives.

Nick Glimsdahl , Chair of the International Committee, introduced Mohan Viddam to present an update on the Global Grant for Water Purification project to provide water purification equipment to villages in cooperation with Community Pure Water (CPW) organization in the parts of India.
Mohan gave an impressive presentation of how the purification system actually works and how it is introduced to and set up in communities along with the corresponding commitment that needs to be made by the village and CPW. A big part of this is educating the villagers on the benefits of clean water and presenting it in a way to show the economic benefit to them and their families.
