Master Your Future
Apr 17, 2023 6:40 PM
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 PM
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 PM
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.

News and outlook from Lake Washington Institute of Technology
Aug 07, 2023 6:30 PM
Dr. Amy Morrison is Lake Washington Institute of Technology's ninth president, having begun in July of 2013.
During her tenure, Dr. Morrison has seen the college through post-Great Recession budgetary challenges, while growing college programs and partnerships. The college has grown program offerings with a focus on equity, completion, and empathy.
In 2019, LWTech was named one of the Top 150 community colleges by the Aspen Institute, in part because of the college’s substantive completion efforts.
Morrison is extensively involved in local, regional, and statewide initiatives including One Redmond, Cascadia Innovation Corridor, Washington Technology Industry Association, and serving as a commissioner for the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). She is also substantively involved in statewide community and technical college system work, including chairing the presidents’ legislative and strategic visioning committees.
Morrison has been recognized for her inclusive, collaborative, and transparent leadership by NCMPR in 2017 as the Pacesetter of the Year, 2019 by EvergreenHealth with their Community Service Award, and by her alma mater University of Nebraska Lincoln Educational Administration Department with their 2020 Impact Award.
Dr. Morrison served for nearly ten years in vice presidential roles including advancement, as well as, campus operations at Clover Park Technical College. She began her community and technical college career at Bates Technical College in 1999. Prior to her community and technical college career, Morrison served as the Deputy Director in the Office of Congressman Norm Dicks where she focused on higher education and workforce outreach.
She received her doctorate in Higher Education Administration from the University of Nebraska Lincoln in December 2013 as part of the National Community College Leadership Cohort. Her dissertation focused on the importance of student completion (earning a credential such as a degree or certificate) for students pursuing a workforce or technical degree. She received her Masters of Public Administration at The Evergreen State College, and her undergraduate degree at Mills College.
Dr. Morrison lives in Kirkland with her family.
