The International Fellowship of Flying Rotarians
Apr 03, 2023 6:40 PM
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.

Wisdom and humanity from ancient Chinese culture
Apr 10, 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. |

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).
