Meeting Recap: February 12
Our speaker on February 12 was Shannon GaNun, a highly regarded speaker on communications. Her talk helped us understand the need for:
 
Alignment with whom we are communicating, using the important phrase - "It seems like...."
Curiosity about what they have to say, using the phrase - "Tell me more....."
Empathy with their perceptions, using the phrase - "What I heard you say...."
 
 
Upcoming Meeting: February 19
Our February 19 Meeting will be a group discussion with our Charitable Giving Committee.

CART FUND DONATIONS
Do you worry about Alzheimer’s?  We do not have a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but we must find one.  Finding a cure starts with you.  Every year the CART (Coins for Alzheimer’s Research Trust) Fund gives research grants focused on finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. 
 
Have you given to the CART Fund this year?  The CART Fund is dedicated to raising funds to provide “seed” money for cutting edge, high impact research in hopes of finding a cure/prevention for Alzheimer’s disease.  The goal of the CART Fund is to encourage exploratory and developmental Alzheimer’s disease research projects within the United States. This is accomplished by providing financial support for the early and conceptual plans of those projects that may not yet be supported by extensive preliminary data but have the potential to substantially advance biomedical research. These projects should be distinct from those designed to increase knowledge in a well-established area unless they intend to extend previous discoveries toward new directions or applications.
