The International Fellowship of Flying Rotarians
Apr. 03, 2023 6:40 p.m.
The International Fellowship of Flying Rotarians (IFFR) is a worldwide group of Rotarians dedicated to promoting Rotary and aviation as an opportunity for fellowship and service. The Fellowship operates in accordance with Rotary International policy, but is not an agency of, or controlled by Rotary International. The IFFR is divided into three Regions – Australia/Asia, Europe/Africa, and The Americas.
Many IFFR members use their personal airplanes to provide free air transportation for non-emergency medical and other compelling needs. Additionally, events promoting fellowship are held in nearly all the countries in which Flying Rotarians reside.
Our Speaker, Alan Dias, served as Vice President for the Americas in 2020-2022, and is currently a member of the World Membership and Marketing Committee representing the Americas.
Alan spent seventeen years in progressively more responsible human resource management positions culminating as vice president of human resources of an international insurance holding company. He left to create and develop Personalized Relocation Management which, after twenty years, was sold to Crown Relocation, an international moving company headquartered in Hong Kong. With his wife, Jennie, who is a Real Estate Broker, he manages Al-Jen Holdings, Inc. a Real Estate Consultancy.
Alan earned his private pilot’s license in 1979, has logged over 2,000 hours, earned an instrument rating, and is now a co-owner in a Cessna 182. Alan once served as the Executive Director of Angel Flight West (AFW) and has been a Command Pilot since 1995. He flies his Cessna 182 out of Whiteman Airport (KWHP) in Southern California.
Alan was a member of Los Angeles 5 – the fifth Club of Rotary International, serving on the board of directors. Six years ago, he was invited to be a charter member of the Rotary E-Club of Aviation, serving as Club President in 2020 – 2021. The Club is chartered in Scotland, meets by Zoom the first and third Wednesdays of each month, has 50 full and affiliate members, and supports charitable projects around the world.
Alan will be telling us more about the IFFR and the services provided by Voluntary Pilot Organizations.

Master Your Future
Apr. 17, 2023 6:40 p.m.
Rajiv Nagaich is an elder law attorney, international bestselling author, host of two PBS shows, and Fellow at the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. His mission is to change the way America thinks of, plans for, and navigates through retirement. Why? Because he saw his father in law fall ill, end up in a nursing home, and lose all his assets to nursing home costs. This is not what Rajiv thinks the future of any hard-working American should be. Motivated to find a solution to help consumers avoid becoming the next Bill Wallace, his father-in-law, Rajiv has developed a revolutionary retirement planning system that allows consumers to pull together every facet of their retirement life so they can rest assured that as they age they do not have to worry about being thrown into a care facility against their wishes, watch their loved ones become unpaid care givers in the process, or lose their retirement nest egg to nursing homes or care agencies.
Rajiv has practiced elder law for over 22 years as a lawyer at Life Point Law, and is the CEO of Aging Options. During his time he has served over 8,000 clients who have adopted his unique planning methodology, which you are about to hear. You can read more about him on his website (www.agingoptions.com).

Wisdom and humanity from ancient Chinese culture
May 08, 2023 6:40 p.m.
With millions of people infected, COVID-19 has brought the world’s attention to Chinese regime’s cover up of the pandemic information. China’s ethical standards and moral values once again have become a hot issue. Traditional Chinse culture has lasted for more than 5,000 years. No civilization without ethical standards and moral values can endure such a long history. But what are those values from China’s tradition, and where are they now? For Americans to understand and to face the challenges brought to the free world by the current Chinese regime, the discussion about the traditional Chinese culture is more important than ever before.
Born and raised in China, Mr. Nan Su came to the U.S. in 1989. Mr. Su has been serving as a news commentator for SOH International Chinese Radio Network and NTD International TV network since 2003, and has made many speeches at public events in the past decade on China-related topics. In addition to his media work, Mr. Su has also been an activist for China’s human rights. He was one of the coordinators of Human Rights Torch Relay in 2008 prior to Beijing Olympics Game. The Relay spanned from July 2007 to July 2008, with stops at more than 140 cities around the world in order to raise international awareness of China’s human rights situation. Mr. Su has been married for more than 30 years, and currently lives with his wife and two daughters in San Jose, California. |

Honoring high school educators for outstanding service
May 15, 2023 6:40 p.m.
Rotary's Outstanding Educator for 2023 is Mr. Carl "C.J." Green. He teaches Career &Technical Education business and marketing courses at Lake Washington High School, and is the school's Black Student Union advisor. He co-leads the LWHS Racial Equity Team and is a strong advocate for, and coach of, the DECA student leadership program. Mr. Green also coaches football.
Principal Christine Bell says that, "Aside from his leadership in these areas, what stands out about Mr. Green is his thoughtful and reflective nature. He listens carefully, particularly to students, and is a leader on our staff. You might find him supervising concessions so that his clubs can earn funds for trips, managing our student store, or teaching students how to plan for and run their own businesses."
She notes, "As a leader in our community, Mr. Green and his Black Student Union visited Audubon Elementary in February. They led an assembly and asked students to consider what power students have to create a more just and equitable future. They created positive connections with Kirkland youth that will benefit our future student leaders."
The Rotary Club of Kirkland is pleased to present C.J. Green its Outstanding Educator Award for 2023.
