P.E. Mark Rogo ran the meeting today as our dear President was
visiting his first grand daughter out of state. After taking a huge
bite of bread and standing at the microphone for minutes, Luc Shoji
(7) finally led the pledge ;) Dr. Colby Smith provided the
invocation. After celebrating Jim Collins 60th Anniversary last week, he wanted to share some special thoughts from 1950 in Westwood. The Rotary lunch was a whopping $2.50 buffet and many other fun facts. He also shared he and Carol were married on July 15, 1950 and he joined Rotary in 1953 via his father-in-law, Gene Ross (is this right?) Four very special women - Peggy Bloomfield, Clarice?, Carol Collins, and Margie Downey were all the women in the lives of the current Rotarians and that summer was filled with teas, weddings, and get-togethers that really bonded the friendships in and out of Rotary. The Guests that were introduced were our Speaker Ken Himmler, and Melody and Deborah who accompanied him. Also, Dave Bortman from the Beverly Hills Rotary club, Aly Shoji introduced her son, Luc (who led the pledge earlier), Jim Collins introduced his youngest son Mike Collins, and we had four Rotaractors joining us as well today. Announcements:
Prior to establishing his wealth management firm, Ken lived on his own at a very young age in Buffalo, NY. While putting himself through school he often wondered where his next meal would come from. Through his amazing self-confidence and self-determination, he has now managed to become one of the most sought after experts in tax strategies, cash flow, and investment strategies. Ken offers a wide range of programs and services - from financial planning to ongoing wealth management. Ken specializes in coaching individuals, from retirees to entrepreneurs, and helping them to strive to obtain financial freedom and security. He acts as the quarterback giving his clients access to work with top attorneys, CPA's, and money managers, putting together a plan that enables people to go from their accumulation stage to the distribution phase, better known as retirement. This allows many of his clients to strive to live an even higher quality of life into retirement than they had prior to retirement. Along with being the CEO of IAM Wealth Management, Ken was the radio host of a live, syndicated program called, Live Rich & Stay Wealthy for ten years. He has also authored the financial column in four newspapers. In addition he also teaches financial courses at several colleges. He has been a professional public speaker now for over seventeen years, traveling nationally for very select organizations and institutions. Ken is no stranger to coaching and understanding the delicate balance between work and family. He is a father of three and has spent ten years coaching hockey to young adults and he is an avid fitness enthusiast and hockey player. His book Live Rich & Stay Wealthy-For Women Only was published in 2006 and has since helped thousands of women to find the inspiration and the motivation to secure their financial future, whether married or single. It has also allowed for the development of the PASS IT ON Mission, in which Ken has donated time and monies to local charities. He will be releasing Live Rich Stay Wealthy for Retirees only shortly followed by two other Live Rich Stay Wealthy books in the series.
