This Week: Wednesday, July 7, 2010
Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
Program: When the Boy Scouts of America was officially incorporated on February 8, 1910, Americans were driving Stanley steam automobiles, earning an average of $750 a year and paying little more than 30 cents for a gallon of milk. While all these things seem out of place today, the BSA remains a vital organization with a mission and a purpose that is more relevant than ever. Throughout 2010, the Boy Scouts of America is celebrating its 100th anniversary, paying tribute to the rich history and tradition of Scouting. With more than 100 million members since its founding, the BSA has made a lasting and positive imprint on the fabric of the nation. This year has also produced a watershed event for Scouting in our community, with the merger of the York-Adams Area Council and the neighboring Keystone Area Council that took place on April 1. The new council, known for now as the Keystone York-Adams Council, is the fourth-largest council in Pennsylvania (behind only Pittsburgh, Phila-delphia and Allentown) with nearly 12,000 registered Scouts in Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Perry and York Counties at the close of 2009. Today’s program will provide an interesting look back on the BSA’s first 100 years, but also will examine the BSA’s current impact in the York community, as well as the anticipated benefits that this newly-merged council should create for Scouting in south-central PA. (Rotarian) Ron Gardner, Scout Executive and CEO of the Keystone York-Adams Council, will present the program. Ron had previously been serving as Scout Executive of the York-Adams Area Council since 1997 before he was selected to provide professional leadership for the new council.

Known as a program-builder, Hottle describes himself as "a firm believer in the fundamentals, discipline, and positive attitude" while focusing on "relentless recruiting and retention."

Hottle previously served as the head football coach and Assistant Athletic Director at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. During his tenure, Gallaudet's athletic programs experienced tremendous growth. He is deeply committed to the NCAA Division III ethic as demonstrated by his student-athletes' academic performances. Each year during his tenure, the Bison raised their overall team grade point average. In 2009, he was selected by his peers as the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) Coach of the Year after leading Gallaudet to a 6-4 record and a second-place finish.

This Week: Wednesday, February 3, 2010
Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
Program: It's our national past time … or is it? They're our heroes, bigger-than-life superstars … or are they? Spend more than two decades on Major League Baseball fields, in locker rooms and around team hotels and you learn it's not always the world of little boys' dreams. But, oh, can it ever be better than what big boys dream about. And, at times, worse. Paul White was one of those little boys but he's spent most of his adult life writing stories about baseball for newspapers and collecting other tales that have nothing to do with who wins and loses games. And he loves to share what he's learned. Paul White has been covering baseball for more than 20 years and was the founding editor in 1991 when USA Today spun off Baseball Weekly, which has since become Sports Weekly. He was an original member of the USA Today sports staff when the nation's newspaper was founded in 1982 and previously worked at newspapers in New York state and Michigan, covering such things as minor league hockey, including the league and season in which the cult movie "Slapshot" was filmed. Hanging out in the press box is a nice perk but he's still more at home in ballpark bleachers, having seen games in 54 (and counting) current and former major league ballparks -- from Forbes Field in Pittsburgh and Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia to the new Yankee Stadium and War Memorial Stadium in Buffalo, where the movie "The Natural" was filmed – and even a circa 1958 York White Roses-Lancaster Red Roses game at Stumpf Field in Lancaster.

CONGRATULATIONS to Rotarian Paul Gorog and wife, Melinda, who received the Martin Luther King award for Excellence in Service from Crispus Attucks at the MLK Day of Service celebration.
As we all know and appreciate, Rotary is the quintessential SERVICE club; indeed, the very first guiding principle articulated by Paul Harris was “the development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service”. We have likewise come to know that “acquaintance” through Rotary also presents business, professional and personal opportunities. Occasionally, members seek to utilize the membership list and/or our weekly meetings to promote business, personal or political interests which are unrelated to Rotary initiatives. In order to preserve and protect the fundamental nature and purposes of Rotary, the Board of Directors has adopted the following statement of policy:

This Week: Wednesday, January 27, 2010
Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
Program: York County has had one of the highest truancy rates in PA over the past few years. Some county wide efforts are underway, but need to be expanded. One of those ongoing efforts is the York County Truancy Task Force, created by our speaker today, York County Common Pleas Judge John Uhler. This program has been around since 1998 and works with every York County school district to collect data, establish truancy protocols and work with truant students. Senior Judge Uhler did not seek election to a third 10 –year term, opting to continue his juvenile court work as a Senior Judge. This new position will allow him to continue a juvenile court caseload and also focus his attention on the problem of truancy. More than 20,000 juveniles have come through Uhler’s courtroom in the last 20 years and he found that 90 percent of them have habitual truancy problems. On any given day, 1/3 of 9th graders in York County are truant and 200 to 300 first graders are habitually truant. The Truancy Task Force involves the county’s school districts, social services, probation department, parents, and courts. Together, they hope to battle this ever-increasing problem which represents a long-term loss of about $91million to the county in lost tax revenue and increased spending on programs to aid those students.

"The Future of Rotary is in YOUR hands”
Per DG Connie Spark - Please read the note below from District Grant Chair John Judson. DG Connie has received many requests for DISASTER RELIEF IN HAITI. With her experience in emerging countries, DG Connie feels it would be better to support John Judson through the Foundation in Pittsburgh, this way the money remains in the United States and can be used appropriately. It will also allow us to receive feedback, pictures and reports through Dr. Judson. Information will be forwarded to the Clubs that supported the HAS and they can see how their dollars are helping in Haiti.
Rotarian (Dr.) John Judson, who is also District 7390 Matching Grants committee chair, has a long-term relationship with the Hospital Albert Schweitzer which is 50 miles from Port au Prince. He writes the following:
Thanks for your inquiries about relief in Haiti. All of the usual organizations, Red Cross, Oxfam, Catholic Relief, etc are on the ground and doing good work. I do not have much direct knowledge about any of them but know a lot about Hospital Albert Schweitzer (HAS) where I usually work in Haiti. It had no significant damage. It is and has always been relatively self sufficient due to the poor infrastructure in Haiti with three diesel generators for electricity and a community size water tower. E-mail by satellite has kept me in touch. They are supported by a 501(c)3 Grant Foundation in Pittsburgh. Since HAS is now one of the few (<3 at most) functional hospitals in Haiti and the only one reachable from PAP, they are now inundated with patients. Injured people are coming by truck and car at an alarming rate and none have any resources. The halls and floors are filled. People are camped around the front entrance. The hospital budget is always strained but now has become impossible due to needs for additional supplies, overtime pay, and additional workers. If donations are sent to HAS, donors will know exactly where the money is going and will get follow up when I am there next month.
CHECKS should be made PAYABLE TO Hospital Albert Schweitzer Haiti with MEMO: Earthquake relief.
MAIL TO: Hopital Albert Schweitzer/Grant Foundation; P.O. Box 81046; Pittsburgh, Pa 15217 OR give to Bert for mailing with other checks. Their work can be seen on the web site www.hashaiti.org where there is also information on donations via credit card OR you can contact Bert and have your donation invoiced to your Rotary account. A receipt will be sent from HAS for your donation.

This Week: Wednesday, January 13, 2010
Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
Program: Today’s speaker is Philip Horn, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) since 1994. While serving under four Governors of the Commonwealth and five Council Chairmen, Horn has gradually molded the PCA into one of the most highly regarded and innovative state arts agencies in the nation. The Governor’s Awards for Excellence in the Arts, Humanities, and Sciences represent the continuation of a Pennsylvania tradition begun in 1960 by Governor Dick Thornburgh.

"The Future of Rotary is in YOUR hands”
A NOTE OF THANKS: On behalf of the Education Team of Building Solid Foundations, I would like to thank each of you who generously donated money and supplies for the children at St. Jude's Catholic School in Apam, Ghana. It was very gratifying to give them brand new books, although the children are appreciative to receive any books, whether they are new or gently used. To not have one book that can be called their own is incomprehensible to those of us who have so many. They are now able to improve their reading skills and increase their knowledge in both their culture and that of other countries around the world. The supplies enable them to supplement their learning and assist the teachers in implementing additional teaching techniques that were not previously available. Please know that your generosity really does make a difference in the lives of these children. With heartfelt gratitude from Sara C. Atkinson, BSF Education Team Leader
SHARE YOUR BLESSSINGS…..as we look toward the holiday season, let’s all give thanks for the many blessing each of us has by opening our hearts and make a donation to THE ROTARY FOUNDATION to help those less fortunate. Your dollars DO make a HUGE impact on those we help……fresh water, medical services, education and a future!!! Please send donation to the Rotary office and designate amount for Annual & Polio funds. CURRENT DONATION TOTALS: Annual Fund: $11,310 (Goal: $30,600) Polio: $2145 (Goal: $10,710)
HOLIDAY ANGELS – deliver your gifts to Rotary (table in Mirror Room) on Wed. Dec. 9 for distribution to the organizations at the club meeting at noon.
OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY to Rotarian Guy Dunham whose father-in-law recently passed away.
HAPPY CHANUKAH to our Jewish members and friends (Dec. 12-19). This is the “Festival of Lights” which celebrates the military victory over the Greeks 2000 years ago and the rededication of the destroyed Temple. Traditions include lighting the menorah to symbolize the miracle of one night’s oil burning for eight nights; Hanukkah gelt (money), latkes (potato pancakes) and dreidels (spinning tops).
DISTRICT CLUB MEETINGS during the HOLIDAYS - A list of Club meeting cancellations & changes due to the holidays has been posted on the District website at this link: http://www.rotary7390.org/Homepage/tabid/36/ctl/ReadMore/mid/421/ItemId/27/Default.aspx (if the link does not work, please copy & paste into your web browser or visit www.rotary7390.org).

ROTARY CLUB OF LANCASTER PROJECT: The North Museum of Natural History & Science in Lancaster is offering a special promotion to D7390 Rotarians to help in the fight against malaria. Their temporary exhibit “Attach of the Bloodsuckers!”, which focuses on mosquitoes, ticks, leeches and other critters that bite us.

This Week: Wednesday, October 14, 2009
Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
Program: Our speaker today will be Stan Brown from Brown's Orchards.....telling us about two new partnerships......with Shiloh Nurseries (N. George St.) and Logan's View Winery. Shiloh Nurseries chose to focus on its strengths in their landscape design and installation department. Logan's View began selling the fruits of its labor at the end of August 09 at Springfield Township-based Brown's Orchards and Farm Market Inc. A 400-square-foot wine shop is offering 18 varieties of wine and employs seven people, said Jeff Brown, one of the winery's 18 owners. The wine is temporarily being produced in a barn in Codorus Township, being made from grapes purchased from local vineyards, as well as those the company is harvesting from five acres of vineyard it leases a couple miles from the farm market in Springfield Township, Brown said. In 2008, the winery's owners planted vines on eight acres of land adjacent to the farm market which they are leasing from Brown's Orchards and they hope to begin harvesting some product from those vines next year.

Meeting Date: Wednesday, August 26, 2009
Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
Program: Our speaker today is Ben McGlaughlin from Wolfgang Candy. Wolfgang’s is a fourth-generation family business, founded in 1921. Up to 2003, the company manufactured and sold confections almost exclusively in the school and small group fundraising industry. In 2003, a restructured took place and a new vision evolved – to be recognized nationally as a superior chocolate brand. More recently, Wolfgang Candy products can be found at national retailers selling under the Wolfgang Brand. Come hear how Wolfgang is capitalizing on history and brand recognition to retool the focus of their business. Benjamin A. McGlaughlin is the great grandson of Delphi and Mima Mae Wolfgang— Wolfgang Candy founders, and grandson to Glenn Wolfgang. Mr. McGlaughlin learned about the confectionery business since childhood, having worked at the family factory throughout his childhood years. Mr. McGlaughlin returned to the Wolfgang Candy Company in 2003 to oversee Finance, Human Resources & Risk Management as Managing Partner, Finance & Administration until his recent selection as President & CEO. He earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice and Political Science from West Chester University, managed Assets Protection for Philadelphia retailer Strawbridge & Clothier, and participated in the company’s Executive Development Program in preparation for the role of store manager. Mr. McGlaughlin’s career path next led him to management positions in two major Philadelphia hospitals and his diverse training and experience in management, organizational and leadership development prepared Mr. McGlaughlin for his role of providing both visionary and financial leadership to Wolfgang Candy Company. Benjamin is a member of several confectionery and snack food industry groups and is on the Board of Directors for Better York.

This Week: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 - 12:25 call to order; 11:45 buffet opens
Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
Program: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Harrisburg… when the program committee first talked about a program to get the insider’s perspective of how Harrisburg and the state government really works – we had no idea how “Ugly” it could get. Our program today will feature two current state representatives Democrat Eugene DePasquale (D-95) and Republican Seth Grove (R-196) and will be joined by former state representative and former Rotarian Bev Mackereth. For our program, we will utilize a panel discussion and moderator. We would prefer to have questions in advance to put together a flow of discussion and time allowing additional questions from the membership. Please send your question via email to Mike Summers (the moderator) to mvzs2@hotmail.com ASAP. Should the budget require the two current state reps to be in Harrisburg, we will have an alternative program and reschedule to another time.

This Week: Wednesday, July 8, 2009 - 12:25 call to order; 11:45 buffet opens
Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
Program: The Group Study Exchange to District 1950 in Germany was an opportunity for four non-Rotarians and one Rotarian leader to get historical, cultural, and vocational experience. The group visited the former East-German state of Thüringia and former West-German state of Bavaria. The four-week trip ran from May 16th – June 13th. Arriving in Frankfurt, the group traveled to the cities of Arnstadt, Erfurt, Gera, Jena, Weimar, Schweinfurt, Roth, Nuremberg, and back to Frankfurt. Besides visiting city fortresses, hilltop castles, several universities and a former Concentration Camp, the team had the unique opportunity to learn a little bit of the German language. Also in their travels, the group gave their presentation to Rotary Clubs about District 7390’s lifestyle, landscape, culture and history. Team leader was DGE Will Kirkpatrick (So. York County). As one of the accompanying members in the GSE trip, Kevin Leitzel, sponsored by the York club, was excited to spend a month in a foreign country—meeting new faces, tasting new foods and exploring the land and language. Kevin graduated from York College with a Bachelor’s degree in English, a minor in German and a Secondary Education teaching certificate. He currently works at Martin Library as a Youth Services Specialist.

Program: The Group Study Exchange to District 1950 in Germany was an opportunity for four non-Rotarians and one Rotarian leader to get historical, cultural, and vocational experience. The group visited the former East-German state of Thüringia and former West-German state of Bavaria. The four-week trip ran from May 16th – June 13th. Arriving in Frankfurt, the group traveled to the cities of Arnstadt, Erfurt, Gera, Jena, Weimar, Schweinfurt, Roth, Nuremberg, and back to Frankfurt. Besides visiting city fortresses, hilltop castles, several universities and a former Concentration Camp, the team had the unique opportunity to learn a little bit of the German language. Also in their travels, the group gave their presentation to Rotary Clubs about District 7390’s lifestyle, landscape, culture and history. Team leader was DGE Will Kirkpatrick (So. York County). As one of the accompanying members in the GSE trip, Kevin Leitzel, sponsored by the York club, was excited to spend a month in a foreign country—meeting new faces, tasting new foods and exploring the land and language.

This Week: Wednesday, July 1, 2009 - 12:25 call to order; 11:45 buffet opens
Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
Program: Ben Franklin Returns to Yorktowne…the first time since the 1750's. Ben is eager to share with you, in his own inimitable style, the challenges and accomplishments of his life. Feel the pride, feel the pathos, as he relates his life stories, intertwined with the history of our country, 18th to 21st Centuries. You will leave with an increased understanding of your American Heritage and your beliefs as Rotarians. What better way to celebrate a holiday and to observe the beginning of a new Rotary year. "Once a teacher, always a teacher" is the firm belief of retired educator, Michael D. Bubb. Mike is a product of the York City Schools, Millersville University, and Western Maryland College. He has spent forty-six years in the education field as a teacher, principal, and an elementary supervisor in the York Suburban and Red Lion Area School Districts. In addition he has been a guest lecturer, a professor, and a supervisor of student teachers for both York College of PA and Millersville University. Still "teaching", since the 300th birthday celebration of Benjamin Franklin, Bubb is now dramatizing the persona of this most famous American. He has brought his one man show to historical societies, senior citizen groups, assisted living and nursing homes, classrooms, and various other organizations. Portions of Franklin's life are explained, experiments are discussed and demonstrated, samples of his documents are displayed, and most importantly, history is enjoyed.

This Week: Wednesday, June 17, 2009 - 12:25 call to order; 11:45 buffet opens
Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
Program: Our speaker today will be author Don Eberly, who will discuss his book ““The Rise of Global Civil Society” which outlines the urgent need for America to design an effective strategy that promotes civil society, the rule of law, economic development, and political freedom." His book shows how countries develop, what works and what does not work in foreign aid, and cutting-edge innovations in aid delivery. Mr. Eberly has recently completed his newest book “Liberate and Leave”, which vividly portrays the extraordinarily difficult and dangerous conditions under which civilians like him worked to rebuild Iraq after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, conditions exacerbated by the lack of good pre-war planning. As Senior Advisor in General Jay Garner’s office of Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance, Mr. Eberly was the first American to set foot into Baghdad’s city hall in post-war Iraq. Before serving in Iraq, Mr. Eberly was Senior Counselor for International Civil Society at USAID. He has advised two Presidents and has authored or co-authored numerous books. He has over 12 years of senior experience in government, including service as USAID, the Pentagon and the State Department,
and a decade of experience developing civil society. Mr. Eberly is a native of Lancaster County and maintains a residence there.

This Week: Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - 12:25 call to order; 11:45 buffet opens
Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
Program: Our speakers today will be Chuck Abbott and Dr. Robert Bryson, who will discuss “The Link Crew" Program at Susquehannock High School, which is designed to train upper class student mentors to lead freshman into a successful high school experience. The purpose of the program is to reduce freshman discipline referrals, absenteeism, guidance referrals and improve student achievement as well as establishing a better culture and bond among the student body at Susquehannock High School. The program is also designed to reduce the amount of hierarchy that exists among the four grades. Amidst the ongoing rise nationwide of school violence, it is more important now than ever to provide a program to address students’ sense of belonging. This program at Susquehannock High School has done that by connecting upper class students with every freshman student, thus creating a real sense of community. The Link Crew Program has received numerous awards since the implementation of the program in 2007, including Shippensburg University Study Council Exemplary Program and Speakers Innovation Award in Behavior and Social Sciences. Chuck Abbott is currently the Athletic Director at Susquehannock High School. He is a 1978 graduate of Clarion State University with a degree in Elementary Education. Prior to becoming the Athletic Director, he spent twenty-two years as an eighth grade science teacher. Chuck is also a Link Coordinator for the Link Crew Transition Program. Dr. Robert Bryson serves as Assistant Principle at Susquehannock High School. Bob has been active with creating multiple award winning Alternative Education programs within the district and establishing programs that create a positive climate and culture for high school students and staff. He has presented multiple programs and strategies at conferences and workshops across the state.

This Week: Wednesday, May 13, 2009 - 12:25 call to order; 11:45 buffet opens
Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
Program: Our program today is a debate between the two republican candidates for District Attorney incumbent Stan Rebert and challenger Tom Kearney. Please note: This is a departure of hosting general election debates only, due to the significance of the race and the absence of a democrat party candidate in the fall. Tom Kearney is a native of Red Lion, who graduated from Penn State University and the Dickinson School of Law. He has been practicing criminal law for over 31 years as both a prosecutor and as defense counsel. Tom has served our County as a Public Defender. In addition, he has served as full time first assistant DA under York County’s previous District Attorney, J. Christian Ness. For the last 24 years, he has been senior partner of the law firm of Kearney and Marshall. Tom has been certified by the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court to try capital cases and frequently does so. Stan Rebert was first elected District Attorney in 1986. Educated in York County, he received his bachelor’s degree from Brown University and JD from Boston University of Law. Currently one of the most experienced District Attorneys in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Stan is seeking re-election for a seventh consecutive term. As York County’s first full time prosecutor, Stan’s office has created the York County Drug task force; victim/witness program; crimes against children and weed and seed programs. The office currently boasts a 95% conviction rate.

This Week: Wednesday, April 29, 2009 - 12:25 call to order; 11:45 buffet opens
Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
Program: Our speaker today will be Mr. A. Robert Jaeger, Executive Director and Co-founder of Partners for Sacred Places, a national nonprofit organization headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with a regional office in Texas. Religious buildings often are architectural and historical treasures, as well as places where numerous services are provided to the community at large, often free of charge. Such services include food pantries, financial assistance services, clothing banks, youth and after school programs, senior citizen services, cultural events and meeting places for AA and NA groups. All of these, if not provided by volunteer organizations such as churches and synagogues, would otherwise be financed by the taxpayer or cease to exist. Mr. Jaeger will talk about the “public value” of these historic buildings, including the anchoring role they play on our streetscapes. In collaboration with Historic York and the York County Council of Churches, Partners for Sacred Places has been working with a cluster of congregations in York to help them discover their unique community value, and communicate that value in ways that can sustain their historic buildings as well as their outreach.

This Week: Wednesday, April 15, 2009 - 12:25 call to order; 11:45 buffet opens
Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
Program: Program: Our speaker today is Deb Adamik, the Executive Director of Main Street Gettysburg. Main Street Gettysburg is a non-profit organization dedicated to economic revitalization and historic preservation for the future of Gettysburg. Two years ago, Deb had the privilege of joining and facilitating a partnership between the National Park Service, Borough of Gettysburg, Adams County Board of Commissioners, and thirteen additional leading community organizations as they pursue a ten year vision ("Interpretive Plan"). The organization has a proven track record for maximizing resources to perform community projects that promote education, economic revitalization and historic preservation. The community partnerships committed to this Interpretive Plan have improved Gettysburg through the revival of The Majestic Theater and the Gettysburg Lincoln Train Station, and most recently the opening of the David Wills House, a national park museum telling the story of the aftermath of the civil war. One of the many projects that Deb and the community groups and leaders are currently facilitating is the Delta-Steinwehr project, which will enhance the Steinwehr Avenue business district into a thriving and exciting place for tourists as well as residents. Deb will be sharing an overview of the Interpretive Plan successes and how “Partnering, Leading and Investing” became Main Street Gettysburg’s strategy for success. Deb is a business graduate of Towson University with over thirty years experience in strategic planning and leadership consulting in the business, education and non-profit organizations.

Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
Program: Our topic is “Distinctly American Education” which has often been neglected in educational discussion and reform. An argument will be made by William G. Durden, president of Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa, for a useful liberal education that permits students at the school and college levels to participate in an informed and active way in democracy. Before becoming president of Dickinson College in 1999, Dr. Durden was simultaneously president of a division of the Sylvan Learning Systems, Inc. (today Laureate Education, Inc.) and vice president of academic affairs for the Caliber Learning Network—a joint venture originally of MCI and Sylvan. He was a member of the German Department at the Johns Hopkins University and Executive Director of the Center for Talented Youth (CTY) for 16 years. Dr. Durden received his undergraduate degree from Dickinson College in German and philosophy and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in German Language and Literature from the Johns Hopkins University. He was a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Basle, Switzerland, and also studied at the University of Freiburg and the University of Muenster, Germany.

This Week: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 - 12:25 call to order; 11:45 buffet opens
Place: The Yorktowne Hotel
Program: Stuart Shapiro, MD, President and CEO of the Pennsylvania Health Care Association, has served in prominent government healthcare leadership and policymaking positions, including Philadelphia Commissioner of Health, Senior Staff Member of the U.S. Senate Sub-Committee on Health and Scientific Research, and Deputy Health Commissioner in Massachusetts. He also served as CEO for the Presidents’ Summit for America’s Future in Philadelphia in 1997, which brought together Presidents Clinton, Bush, Ford, Carter and former First Lady Nancy Reagan to talk about the future of youth in America. The Pennsylvania Health Care Association (PHCA) and its companion organization, the Center for Assisted Living Management (CALM), advocate for compassionate, quality long-term care for Pennsylvania’s elderly and disabled residents. Dr. Shapiro has long been an advocate for the elderly, working at national, state, and city levels. The subject of Dr. Shapiro’s presentation will center around the politics of long-term care from both a state and national perspective. Pennsylvania is the third ‘grayest’ state in the nation; one in five citizens is 65 or older. Nearly 70 percent of those turning 65 this year will need long-term care at some point in their lives, yet most people wrongly believe that Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid will cover their costs. Dr. Shapiro will talk about the fiscal tsunami that is heading straight for our nation, and why lawmakers (and all citizens) must address the issue now.
