April 13th: Karen Cortell Reisman, M.S. "Einstein's Cousin"                    Since 1992, Karen Cortell Reisman, M.S. has taught corporate and association audiences how to communicate, sell, and thrive.    Karen spoke to us about her cousin, Albert Einstein, and read us excerpts of his letters that he sent to her grandmother, Lena. She spoke of how her Dad and her two siblings left Nazi Germany in the 30's, each going to a different country and how she was taught that America was the land of freedom. Her dad came to America a wealthy man, but lost everything in the depression, but he remade himself as a bra salesman.    That is where she learned C=A+A+A  (Acceptance, Attitude, Action). The big take away from the event was not just that Karen was a great speaker, but that you have options, you can Bat your Wings, Ruffle your Feathers, or Sit on your Perch.  She also told us that Einstein had great angst over the fact that his invention went to help the atom bomb be invented.      www.KarenCortellReisman.com ¦ Karen@KarenCortellReisman.com                     Upcoming Events: GSE Team is Coming and We Need Your Help!     The Rotary Group Study Exchange (GSE) is Coming and we need help on two fronts.   We need five host families.
