Fantastic day at YPO's Real Estate Rountable in #Dallas. Hard to beat hearing from former President George W. Bush this aftenroon but the thing that stuck with me today was from pollster Frank Luntz. For all of you younger parents... He had 6 insight tips on how to raises healthy and successful children: 1 - How often do you dinner w/ your children??5 nights or more you show your child they are the most important thing in life. 2 - How often do you take them to religious services?? 3 - How often do you check their homework??4 nights or more is what is needed.?? 4 - Do you take your kids away for trips and leave the phone in the room? 5 - Do you know where they are on Friday + Saturday nights??Do you know who their friends are??If they lie to you about that… then…? 6 - Do they participate in a team sport? Get 5 of 6 of these down… You are more likely to raise successful and healthy children. Now... off to Palm Springs for ICSC's Western Dealmaking! #CRE #conferenceseason

In 1973, Phyllis Webstad of Stswecem’c Xgat’tem First Nation, was a six-year-old child forced into a residential school.? On her first day, school administrators removed her orange shirt, never to be returned.? We are grateful to Phyllis for sharing her story of loss and survival.? In 2013, this day was designated as Orange Shirt Day.? If you are Indigenous, we welcome your reflections on what this day means to you, and/or what you would like to see happen on this day. ? In 2021, this day was also designated as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, however in the 28 years since the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, 9 years since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and 5 years after the MMIWG Report, Canadian governments have made little progress and continue to carry out many of the harms outlined in these reports.? This is a serious situation for all settlers to demand accountability and progress from all levels of government.? Review the reports and calls to action, find at least one that speaks to you, and follow up regularly with your representatives.? Talk to your friends, family, and community, and plan how you will work to ensure that #everychildmatters is a fact enshrined in our public systems, not merely a slogan and a reason for a day off work.? “[I]t’s so important for people to reach for reconciliation. … To figure out how their actions can lead to other actions and how they can encourage other people to get involved.? That’s the way we’re going to get there.”? - Jody Wilson-Raybould
?? Are you a Rotarian or know someone who is? If so, please share this post! We've designed an incredible way for Rotary members around the world to learn about what human trafficking really is (vs. what's shown in movies) and create an action plan to address this issue in their very own communities. At 3Strands Global Foundation, we are amplifying the voices of those who have experienced human trafficking and making prevention education accessible, wherever you live - no matter how old you are. Will you join us? ?? https://lnkd.in/gWFugh4T

Sadly, the “kitty litter” part of this meme refers to an outrageous and hateful comment made by my opponent, Billy Garrett, earlier this year. #franciekleckley #francieforsenate #southcarolina #greenwood #greenwoodsc #greenwoodcounty #saluda #saludasc #saludacounty #lexington #lexingtonsc #lexingtoncounty #SD10 #scpol #SCpolitics #SendMeSCSenate10
Learning how to respond in emergencies saves lives. Consider learning signs & risk factors of Sudden Cardiac Arrest and other challenges we all may face.
October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month, and before it ends, we want everyone to know about warning signs, risk factors and what to do in a cardiac emergency. We encourage everyone to enroll in a First Aid/CPR/AED course so they can learn how to help save a life when someone goes into cardiac arrest and minutes matter. Our Western Lake Erie chapter has partnered with BCSN and the Taylor Automotive Group to launch the ‘Heartbeats for High Schools,’ initiative to provide local high schools with tools, training, and information necessary to respond effectively to cardiac emergencies. Chapter director Rachel Hepner said, “My goal is to ensure all high school students learn compression only CPR at some point during their high school years.” Read more about how young people in local Red Cross Clubs are learning lifesaving skills in today's blog post. https://rdcrss.org/4e4lIfq #CardiacArrestAwarenessMonth #CPR #AED #RedCrossClubs
