SUMMARY:Chris Sichel - President and CEO\, Make-A-Wish San Diego
DESCRIPTION:The Power of a Wish:  Why Hope\, Strength and Joy matter in life’s greatest battles\nMake-A-Wish began humbly in 1980\, when a group of kind hearted police officers made a very sick boy a “cop for a day”. This act of kindness began with a small community who came together to make a difference for a child when he needed it most. From that community\, sprung a movement that now reaches across the nation and the globe that seeks to grant a wish to every child battling a life-threatening illness.  Chris Sichel will discuss the inspiring ways that a wish can truly change a child\, a family and a community.  Medicine can heal a child’s body\, but a life-affirming wish can heal their spirit.

The Metropolitan Water District is the largest municipal water provider in the nation delivering an average of over 2 billion gallons of water a day to 19 million customers across Southern California.  Metropolitan serves one out of every two Californians in the six counties of Los Angeles\, Orange\, Riverside\, San Bernardino\, San Diego and Ventura. \nKightlinger was appointed general manager in February 2006. As General Manager\, he manages the District’s $1.8 billion annual budget and 1\,800 employees to ensure the safe and reliable delivery of high quality water every day throughout Southern California.  He reports to a board of 38 members representing 26 member agencies. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Grupo Folklórico from San Ysidro High School
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Cinco de Mayo\, students from San Ysidro High’s Grupo Folklorico will perform for us. \nGrupo Folklórico San Ysidro (GFSY) was founded by Mr. Lalo M. Hirsch in July of 2002. The group’s beginning coincided with the inception of San Ysidro High School as a new addition to the Sweetwater Union High School District in Chula Vista\, CA. Dancers consist of high school and alumni students to SYHS. \nStarting the program with only twenty-five students\, Mr. Hirsch has now built the dance program to serve roughly two hundred dance students each year\, making it the largest folklórico program in the Sweetwater Union High School District. High school group members receive college elective credit\, performing arts credit\, as well as physical educational credit. Dancers range in age from 14 to 25 years of age. \nThe purpose of GFSY is to promote an understanding and appreciation for the rich and diverse world of Mexican folk dance. GFSY performs all over the county of San Diego\, CA\, whether at local high schools\, community centers\, or on military bases. \nGrupo Folklórico San Ysidro has been awarded outstanding service awards from The California Association for Health\, Physical Education\, Recreation and Dance; The National Childhood Obesity Conference; Veterans of Foreign Wars; and The Commander of Naval Services. GFSY won first place in the adult division as well as best overall dance group in the 2011 Mariachi & Folklórico Festival in Riverside\, California. \nGFSY is most proud of the family environment amongst dance members. Many of them are long-time friends\, neighbors or relatives. Dancers understand and embrace Mr. Hirsch’s philosophy that folkloric dance is something rare\, special\, and in fact precious. Group members take pride in representing Mexico’s rich and diverse history through creative movement and expression. \n

SUMMARY:Dr. Russell Low - The Chinese and Building of the Transcontinental Railroad: A Descendant's Story
DESCRIPTION:From Dr. Low:  “The building of the TCRR was a feat of unimaginable magnitude that required a Herculean effort. Its completion on May 10\, 1869 was celebrated across our nation. 1200 Chinese workers performed the most dangerous work.  With nothing more than hand tools\, they laid the CPRR through the high Sierra Nevada Mountains. The story of my great grandfather Hung Lai Wah and his 100 descendants is an American Story that spans 150 years and multiple generations.”

SUMMARY:Musical Prodigies -Guest speaker Dr. Gary McPherson\, Performance by Gavin George\, Piano Prodigy
DESCRIPTION:The Extraordinary World of the Musical Prodigy \nGuest speaker Gary McPherson\, Ph.D.\, Ormond Professor and Director of the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music in Australia\, studies giftedness: the characteristics and development of people who have an unusually high potential for greatness. His presentation will talk about his research on musical prodigies\, and the range of natural abilities and environmental factors that lead to extraordinarily rapid musical development. How can this be explained? How are musical prodigies different from other children? These two questions are at the heart of his presentation. \nDr. McPherson’s research has provided an increased and deepened understanding of how individuals develop wide-ranging musical skills. Investigating the cognitive and social process involved in acquiring and applying musical competencies\, and the personal and environmental factors that affect musical development\, ability and identity more generally\, he is widely accepted as having had very considerable impact on both music education theory and\, not least\, its everyday international practice. The value of this contribution is evidenced by widespread citations\, guest lecturing at over 50 universities in 25 different countries\, and over 40 keynote presentations at national and international conferences in various parts of the world. \nAlso appearing will be Gavin George\, piano prodigy. \nAcclaimed for his musical maturity and virtuosity with a passion for music\, 12 year-old pianist Gavin George began formal piano instruction at age three-and-a-half. He made his concerto debut by age seven with the Newark-Granville Symphony performing Haydn’s Concerto in D Major\, and was a featured performer on the CBS Early Show. As a gold medal winner for two consecutive years in the American Association for the Development of the Gifted and Talented International Piano Competition\, Gavin has performed multiple times in Carnegie Hall. He was awarded a full scholarship to study and perform at Luxembourg’s Vianden Music Festival. \nIn 2011\, Gavin became the youngest musician to perform on the Emmy-award winning show From the Top\, broadcast on NPR. He was awarded first prize in the SAA’s International Piano Concerto Competition performing Beethoven’s Concerto No. 3\, and performed at Orchestra Hall (Minneapolis)\, Midland Theater (Newark)\, and Constitution Hall (Washington\, D.C.). Gavin was selected for one as one of the documentary profiles made by PRODIGIES\, appearing on the YouTube THNKR series.

SUMMARY:Dr. Ramon Resa
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ramon Resa was born to a teen mother who had five children before she was twenty. He has never known his father. He was raised by his grandparents in a farm working family with fifteen children. Their lives depended on the crops they picked year round. When the crops failed\, they did without\, and many times went hungry. \nHis world was one of poverty\, neglect\, abuse\, and total disregard for education. His grandparents never encouraged him to get an education because to them\, farm work was as high as anyone could dream.  The odds stacked against him—low self-esteem\, a speech impediment\, recurring depression\, and prejudice—were overwhelming. \nIt was his second and fourth grade teachers who saw something in him and promoted his love of reading. They opened his eyes to the idea of going to college and becoming a doctor. When his grandparents urged him to give up his dream and get a factory job so he could pay them back for taking him in\, he almost caved in. But\, armed only with his stubborn belief in himself and the love and support of his college sweetheart Debbie\, now his wife of more than 30 years\, he persisted and finished medical school. He returned to the Central Valley and opened his pediatric practice\, where he has been working with poor and under served children.

SUMMARY:San Diego History Center
DESCRIPTION:You think you know San Diego…but do you? \nOn July 21st\, the San Diego History Center presents the fun\, unusual and\, at times\, provocative how and why the San Diego region is what it is today.

SUMMARY:Nancy Hughes - Founder\, Stove Team International
DESCRIPTION:Stove Team helps local entrepreneurs establish factories in Latin America. These self-sustaining businesses produce safe\, affordable\, fuel-efficient cookstoves to replace dangerous open cooking fires. \nWhy stoves? Smoke from open cooking fires kills more than eight times as many people as does malaria. Daily cooking is the equivalent to mothers and children smoking three packs of cigarettes a day. Four million women and children suffer painful and debilitating burns from their cooking fires. 500 million cook fires emit nearly one billion tons of greenhouse gases each year and cause massive deforestation. An average man\, woman or child spends 20 hours each week gathering wood. Wood collection takes valuable time that could be spent at work or school. \nIn 2007\, Nancy Hughes and a team of volunteers from the Eugene Southtowne Rotary Club wrote a Rotary matching grant and invented a small portable stove – the Ecocina\, which produces almost no smoke and uses less than half the wood of an open fire. The Ecocina reduced carbon emissions by 68% and particulate matter by over 86%. Aprovecho Research Center has verified that the Ecocina is one of the most efficient “rocket stoves” in the world. \nIn 2008\, StoveTeam International began assisting local entrepreneurs establish sustainable factories to produce Ecocina stoves. The factories\, started by using Rotary matching grants\, use all local materials and employ only local men and women\, important in developing countries where unemployment sometimes exceeds 50%. \nFor her work\, Nancy has been honored as a Rotary White House Champion of Change and has been featured on the PBS Newshour. She is a CNN Hero\, and the recipient of the prestigious International Purpose Prize.
