Rotarians

I wish to touch base with members of Rotary clubs as well as non-Rotarians who believe in its motto "Service Above Self."

My purpose is to exchange ideas with them about how we can join hands to render service to needy persons.

By the way, I am a past president of a Rotary club and a Paul Harris Fellow.

Send me a short note.

ENCORE NATION: Organizing a network of experienced educators

Longtime technology educator Dr. Wesley Perusek has pioneered innovative projects in New Jersey and Ohio. He proposes the development of a cadre of experienced educators to help teach science, technology, education and math. He writes:

Imagine the potential of just those retired educators listed if a mechanism was in place to bring them all to one or several focus groups. Problems in education remain and grow almost daily. Look alone at Colin Powell’s America’s Promise Alliance and the drop-out problem.

Look at the National Commission on Adult Literacy citing: “More than half of U.S. workers lack basic education and more than 1.2 million young adults – one in three – drop out of high school each year.”

How do networks of good people doing good works begin?
