SEARCHING FOR SERVICE – If you haven’t tuned in yet, please go ahead and try it out and then of course let me know what you think. Good idea, bad idea, wish I had thought of that myself. You get the idea. The radio show is live on Sundays at 3pm on 950 AM
The Progressive Voice of Minnesota. If you can pick it up on your radio then click the link and stream it live. If that time doesn’t work into your schedule then pull up the podcast from your favorite podcast site.
INEXPENSIVE ADVERTISING - Would you like to support this effort? You can by being a sponsor or advertiser. You can "buy" a 30-60 second slot for $50 a week. You write or let the radio people write it for you. Read it yourself, have a host read it, or the radio station will have one of their readers record it. Either way you get your name out there for a pittance.
SPEAKERS
This section will continue to grow. As I come across speakers, they will all be listed via topic. If you use one and you do not find them to be worthwhile, motivating, informative, inspiring, please let me know so that I can take them off the list. Remember you are not limited to local speakers. With zoom you can have speakers from around the world.

December – Disease Prevention and Treatment Month
Peace
1.
Dr. Ann Frisch – I don’t know if I can possibly give enough accolades to Ann and all she has done for peace around the world. Perhaps it is best to let you know this. “In 2017, Frisch was chosen by Rotary International as a People of Action: Champion of Peace in recognition of her extraordinary accomplishments. Frisch is one of only six Rotarians throughout the world to be given this honor. She attended an awards ceremony at the U. N. European Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.” Did you even know that RI has a seat at the UN? We do. Anyway, this impressive woman lives in our backyard and is happy to come out to our clubs and speak. I know because I asked her. She said yes!!!! We are truly blessed. Please reach out to her.
