Jerry Park, Author

A Tennesse Portrait

Aug 23, 2019

Jerry Park is a Southerner. Born and raised. His soul forever imprinted by his heritage. That means there’s a story in everything he sees, and he tries to tell it in the resulting photograph. Tradition, loss, hope, tragedy, family and foolishness - all the themes we are drawn to in the best of southern literature, historical and fictional. He offers the viewer a glimpse into that lush mosaic by looking at images. He also often accompanies his photographs with written expressions - short stories, essays, poems - brought to the surface by his own contemplation of the print.   Collected and exhibited around the country.  Published in books, magazines, and newspapers.  Contact info: jerryparkphotograph.com or jerryppark@comcast.net.


 

His new book, A Tennessee Portrait, is the result of two years and over 10,000 miles of wandering around the backroads with camera and pen in hand.  Through photographs and short stories, Portrait offers a unique combination of image and word to anyone who appreciates heritage, beautiful scenery, and a good yarn.

Sunny Rosanbalm

Tuckers House

Sep 20, 2019

Sunny Rosanbalm, Founder and Executive Director

Sunny Rosanbalm is the Founder and Executive Director of Tucker’s House, a non-profit that partners with families of children with disabilities by making their homes safer and wheelchair accessible. Her training in architectural design and years of experience in construction management coupled with her personal experiences as Tucker’s grandmother inspired Sunny to address an immense and virtually unmet need: affordable access to safe, accessible, and therapy friendly homes for children with special needs and their caregivers. Sunny and husband Mike live south of Nashville, Tennessee and are the proud grandparents of 17 children.  

Since 2009, the mission of Tucker’s House has been to partner with the families of children with disabilities by providing the home renovation and retrofitting services and resources necessary to make their homes safe and more accessible, and we continue to be the only agency in Middle Tennessee that offers this kind of critical care to a much-underserved population.

Every year, our Assess and Retrofit Program rescues approximately 30 Middle Tennessee families of children with disabilities ages 2-22 (120 people) from emotional and physical trauma by providing a safe and accessible environment that is conducive to greatest independence for the child. A pediatric therapist and an architectural designer meet with each family to develop an individualized plan which takes into consideration the current diagnosis/prognosis of the child, the needs of all caregivers, and the current conditions of the home. Caregivers can lift a child (many as heavy as adults) up to 5,000 times a year and struggle with chronic pain of their own, putting all involved at high risk for major physical injury and emotional distress. Imagine the guilt and anxiety caused to all involved if a child is dropped or if a caregiver is severely injured.

Once the retrofit plan is developed, a project manager oversees all aspects involved in implementing the retrofit including budget, schedules, and volunteer involvement. Once the project is completed, family members are trained on how to use their new equipment and space. 

Life-changing projects can include solid surface flooring, ramps, roll-in showers, widened doorways, and lifts. Many of the families Tucker’s House serves have experienced a 100% reduction in the number of physical lifts required each year which equates to far fewer injuries, more time to engage in quality family activities, and an all-around greater quality of life. There is a great need for affordable retrofit services for these at-risk families, and Tucker’s House currently has a year-long waiting list.

Celeste Herbert

Rotary International- Legacy Gifts and Major Donors

Sep 27, 2019

Rotary’s Secret Ingredient

How did Rotary come to lead the global eradication of a disease, when we were once laughed out of the room for being a social club with no such expertise? Which Rotarian’s kidnapping led to a civil agreement between the Taliban and Rotary? What happens when you put together 1.2 million leaders, each with their own ideas of how to improve things?

 

When Rotarians become aware of a need, you get involved. When you get involved, you create lasting impact. When Rotarians get involved – when they get engaged – lives change.

 

The Rotary Foundation expended more than $320 million dollars last year for the programs in which Rotarians chose to engage. Perhaps the most unique and trusted foundation in the world, it is the engine fueling the work being done by clubs and districts like yours. But the Foundation would not have much impact if not for the secret ingredient of Rotary...

 

As a Major Gifts Officer for one of the world’s most respected humanitarian organizations, Celeste Herbert works from the Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast with Rotarians eager to turn their passionate service and philanthropic support into action to address the world’s most pressing needs. She believes deeply in the essential role nonprofits play in strengthening communities, and has unique insights about Rotary’s vast opportunities. She comes to The Rotary Foundation with nearly twenty years of experience in nonprofit advancement, both as a consultant and as a fulltime director of development for schools, museums and other nonprofits, including a few in Tennessee.

Dr Bruce L. Wolf, MD

Allergy and Asthma Specialist

Oct 18, 2019

Dr. Bruce Wolf has 30+ years of experience as an asthma and allergy specialist. He has also maintained a Vanderbilt faculty appointment. Throughout his career, he has also been passionate about medication access. Dr. Wolf founded and managed the non-profits the Dispensary of Hope (www.dispensary of hope.org) and Hope Beyond Hope (www.hopebeyondhope.org). The Dispensary began with a handful of doctors sharing some of the samples they received from pharmaceutical companies. Under Dr. Wolf’s leadership, the organization grew and now distributes free medications – excess drug samples as well as overproduced branded and generic medication - to 144 indigent clinics and their patients across 30 states. Hope Beyond Hope was created with a broader platform and broader ambitions to change healthcare delivery in America, chiefly around medication access.

While Dr. Wolf’s altruism initially focused on indigent patients, over time as healthcare costs rose and the burden of costs shifted to the payer, he came to realize that we are all indigent when it comes to affording healthcare! This epiphany led Dr. Wolf to create a for-profit company, Milligram, which developed powerful software analytics that can help minimize the cost of medications not only for patients but for at-risk providers such as self-insured employers and governments. Healthcare, healthcare costs and healthcare reform are all hot issues nowadays. In his talk, “ Excuse Me, Did You Say Your Medication Was Expensive?” Dr. Wolf will delve into those topics and offer up some insight, perspective, and possible solutions to the dilemma of rising medication costs and ways of affordability.
