Super Trend Convergence:
How the convergence of 3 major trends will change our careers,
our investments, and our lives. The 3 Super Trend areas are,
1) Globalization (China/India and the emerging markets are the
megatrend under the super trend), 2) Technology Accelerators
(being used extensively by Fortune 500 companies and in health
care and energy - science fiction is becoming science fact)
and 3) the Global Age Wave (Baby boomers, the echo boom and
overseas age demographics). Any one of these super trends will
significantly change the world in the next 5-10 years, and the
convergence of the 3 will create massive change, and both threats
and opportunities. What the "new normal" looks like
coming out of this recession will be massively influenced by
these super trends. Dennis Stearns, winner of the 2008 Business
Leader Triad Entrepreneur of the Year award, has been called
"one of the financial planning industry's leading futurists"
by the Financial Planning Association.

Humorous Guide to Caregiving - Jim Calhoun has personally
experienced the challenges caregivers face and he has collected
these challenges and insights for how to overcome them in his
book “Lessons from the Ancients, a Humorously Helpful Guide
for Caregiving”. He would never have guessed during his
college days that his interest in psychology and English would
prepare him for the caregiving role and for writing a book.
The book was written with the hope of providing other caregivers
resources for assistance as well as inspiration. Jim lives in
Atlanta, but is frequently in the Triad area. PDG
David McCoy will be happy to try work with club program
chairs in arranging for Jim to speak. You should plan ahead
for this one. |

Serving
Greensboro's underserved population - If you liked the movie
Freedom Writers, you will love this program. The Glenwood area
of Greensboro had one of the highest crime rates in town. Marshall
Benbow and his wife moved their family into the community and
started an after school tutoring program by walking door to
door and handing out flyers to the neighborhood kids. Within
a year, they have engaged over 100 kids, with one adult volunteer
mentor per child. School performance has improved and now a
summer camp is being offered that gives kids a chance to experience
things they could not get in Glenwood -- mountains, beach, museums,
etc...
