At the September 29th meeting, members and guests heard Juliano Jarquin, The Humane Element Passage, who described his business of motivating participants to accomplish their goals for themselves and for their organizations, through the title:  The Humane Element Passage.  In his introduction, Daniel repeated phrases from his detailed biography:  Tribal Leadership, the journey to Life Mastery; his developed educational curriculums on Tribal leadership, the arts, psychology, emergency response and personal / business development; Juliano resides in South Gate, has made a presentation to the South Gate Rotary Club and is Chair of the Health & Education Commission for the City of Huntington Park.  He noted his varied experiences starting with having to learn English in Elementary School, attending military school, attending college in Miami, spending time in Barcelona, attending UCLA, being involved with Coach John Wooden, and living for eight months with the Mayans.  His business card includes:  Personal & Business Development, with credentials of MHA, SPHR, CPC -- Organizational Behaviorist, Instructional Designs and Grant Writer.
 
His power point presentation is intended for training session lasting several hours, so there was much content to communicate for presentation lasting 20 minutes.  Here are only a few phrases from the presentation.  Among Juliano’s points are feel your “Ganas”.  “Ganas” in Spanish means wants and desires.  We need to recharge ourselves everyday just like our cell phones.  Every day make time to relax, spend time in silence and think about “enjoying the ride.”  One needs to feel, which is emotional; to think, which is cognitive, and to act, which is behaviorist.  Other points:  the three pillars -- The Community Pillar, in addition to partnership development, what motivates current and prospective communities is important.  The Solutions Pillar solves the needs of the community and creates value for the organization.  The Strategy Pillar involves evaluation of the best paths to long –term value. 
 
Before Juliano did his presentation, President Ramon Rodriguez attendees heard Assembly member Mike Gipson, 64th District and Chair Joint Legislative Audit Committee. He thanked the group for allowing him to speak.  He noted that he personally introduced 40 bills, and he described several of the bills that the governor signed.  Specifically SB813 (the final bill was from a fellow state senator with the same purpose) that removes the statute of limitations for charges of rape. Also AB 1067 that provides that formerly incarcerated youth receive priority for applications for employment with state agencies.  He mentioned that a bill for gun control he initiated was not signed by the governor, although other gun control measures were approved.  He stated that gun control legislation is important to making communities safer, but that these measures are not an infringement of the Second Amendment rights of citizens to own their own weapons.  He stated what needs to be controlled more effectively is the ownership of military type weapons.  Citizens can and should continue to buy and possess their own weapons for hunting recreation.
 
Also before Juliano’s presentation, President Ramon Rodriguez mentioned again the Rotary District 5280 dinner on Sat, Oct 22, 3pm - 9pm. He also mentioned another Rotary District 5280 Breakfast meeting on Tue, Oct 11, from 7:00 am – 9:00 am at the Westin Hotel on Century Blvd. near LAX.  The program will be about the Olympic Games to include women’s Olympic Team 5 times’ winner, Janet Evans (More information on the Cover Page.)
