Robert DeLaurentis, the "Zen Pilot"
2015-10-29 12:00 - 13:30
Flying Thru Life: Global Service on a Wing and a Prayer (and a Malibu Mirage)
Flying around the world in a single piston plane on a record setting flight to 23 countries and five continents in 98 days in a plane called the “Spirit of San Diego” isn’t what you think of as the typical business classroom environment or service organization. But then applying spiritual concepts to a 22-year-old business and growing it 300% in 5 years isn’t typical either.
Join Robert DeLaurentis as he shares inspiring—and at times terrifying—adventures and insights from his recent circumnavigation of the earth. Whether in the air at 23,000 feet and 230 miles per hour living in a neoprene survival suit or on the ground meeting people from all walks of life, Robert’s discovery that we are all citizens of the world with a purpose and dream bigger than we know will forever change the way you look at life.
Robert DeLaurentis, “Zen Pilot” is a successful author, real estate entrepreneur, five-year instrument and commercially rated pilot with 1200 hours of flight time, philanthropist, and Navy Gulf War Veteran. He holds an undergraduate degree in accounting and an advanced graduate degree in Spiritual psychology. His book, “Flying Thru Life,” which answers the question of how to create the abundance of time and money in your life to pursue your dreams, was just released and is an Amazon Top Seller.

Building the galleon San Salvador: an American Origin Story

Dr. Ashley’s talk will discuss the strange world of 1542, Cabrillo’s voyage, recent findings about Cabrillo’s own birthplace, review the process by which a ship for which no original plans existed was conceived, how she was built over the course of five years, and what is in store for her in the future.

Betty Peabody
The Past Presidents of San Diego Rotary have proudly selected Mrs. Betty Peabody as this year’s recipient of the
2015 Mrs. San Diego Award.
Please join us on September 24th at the Liberty Station Conference Center to honor Betty for her leadership and contributions to the City of San Diego.
Betty Peabody’s interests, volunteerism, and achievements in the San Diego community have been many and varied, but all were due to her tireless passion for the betterment of our city.
Volunteering for Balboa Park almost daily since 1969, Betty co-founded the Friends of Balboa Park with the vision of keeping the park alive well into the next century. They have implemented over 200 projects in 15 years, funded by private donations of more than $4 million. These range from the five information kiosks placed around the park, to mapping the water pipe infrastructure with SDSU students and to returning the 5th grade San Diego Unified School program to the Park. Their latest project, The Friends’ Water-Wise program, was designed to optimize water use in the park to make the park more environmentally sustainable while keeping it healthy and attractive for visitors.
Betty has served on the boards of the San Diego Museum of Man, the Central Balboa Park Association, and as president of the House of Hospitality and the Balboa Park Millennium Society. She conceived Christmas on the Prado which is now December Nights.
A founding member of the San Diego County Crime Stoppers, Inc., Betty has encouraged good people to report bad things anonymously for the past 31 years. Betty was recognized by their Lifetime Achievement Award and now Crime Stoppers gives the Betty Peabody Award annually to an individual or organization that has helped law enforcement or promoted public safety.
To honor legacies of her late husband, Dr. Homer Peabody (also a Mr. San Diego Award recipient in 1997), she currently serves on the Rees-Stealy Research Foundation Board and the Youth Tennis San Diego (Barnes Center) Foundation Board. Her social and philanthropic interests include The Thursday Club, The Wednesday Club, UCSD Town and Gown, ARCS and San Diego Rotary Club. She also sits on the board of the SDSU Friends of the Library and was a 2009 Mortar Board honoree.
Betty has been recognized for her contributions to our community, including most recently being the recipient of the San Diego Woman of the Year Award given by Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins. Atkins described Betty’s story as a “microcosm for the contributions that women make all over California and our great nation.”
Although born and raised in Oregon, Betty has adopted San Diego as her home. She and Homer have four children, five terrific grandchildren and seven-plus special great-grands. Betty also enjoys theatre, reading, and unusual travel experiences.

San Diego Humane Society: Inspiring Compassion Since 1880
Since 1880, San Diego Humane Society has inspired compassion by helping people and animals.

2015-08-20 12:00 - 13:30 | Liberty Station Conference Center, 2600 Laning Road, San Diego, CA, 92106, United States
Can Mobile Technology Completely Transform Healthcare?
Remarkable advances in miniaturized computing power and connectivity over the last several decades have changed nearly every aspect of our lives, but they have yet to make a substantial impact on healthcare. However, mobile health (mHealth) technologies currently being developed are capable of enabling unprecedented changes in the manner and quality of clinical care available to the growing majority of the world’s population with mobile connectivity. This presentation will review the great deal of ongoing work being carried out, much in San Diego, to establish the true capabilities and potential value of the evolving field of mHealth.
Dr. Steinhubl is the Director of Digital Medicine at STSI and a cardiologist at Scripps Health, Scripps Clinic. He received his undergraduate training in chemical engineering at Purdue University in Indiana, graduate training in physiology at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, and his medical degree at St. Louis University in Missouri.
Dr. Steinhubl’s research activities have covered a broad range of topics in cardiology with a primary early focus on trials of novel antithrombotic therapies for the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease, and more recently on the application of an integrated systems-based approach to the optimal identification, communication and treatment of an individual’s risk for various manifestations of cardiovascular disease. He has been principal investigator or helped lead over a dozen large-scale, international randomized trials and has authored nearly 200 peer-reviewed manuscripts as well as numerous book chapters, and abstracts.

2015-08-13 12:00 - 13:30 | Liberty Station Conference Center, 2600 Laning Road, San Diego, CA, 92106, United States
Jonas Salk’s Centenary Year – a Vision for the Future
Jonas Salk is an icon in the history of medicine. The polio vaccine he and his research team developed in the early 1950s lifted a pervasive fear. He is less well known for his earlier work on the first influenza vaccine, his founding of the Salk Institute, and his relentless pursuit of ways to alleviate human suffering in diverse realms. This talk, given by Dr. Peter Salk, will touch on these various aspects of his life.
Dr. Peter Salk graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard University in 1965 and Alpha Omega Alpha from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1969. Following two years of house staff training in internal medicine at the University Hospitals of Cleveland, he worked in his father’s laboratory at the Salk Institute from 1972-1984 conducting research on the biology and immunotherapy of cancer and autoimmune disease and strategies for vaccine production. He worked again with his father from 1991-1995 on a project to develop an inactivated vaccine for HIV infection, and subsequently worked on the introduction of AIDS treatment programs in Africa and Asia. He is currently President of the Jonas Salk Legacy Foundation, where he is devoting attention to educating the public regarding his father’s life and work and to extending and applying his father’s vision to help address humanity’s present challenges and opportunities, particularly in the realms of vaccines, global health, and creating a sustainable human future.
