The Plan for the Meeting of November 11, 2019

As I was going to the special event on November 4 to the meet and greet U of L President Neeli Benapudi as the hospital where I work is now under new ownership and new colors, the business development person said, we're good for next Monday in Lexington?   I had forgotten about it. Yep, so for this meeting, I am going to miss it because I will be at:

When I am not working and doing neighborhood association things, I do a number of "Peace for Parents" presentations for my employer, U of L Peace Hospital (formerly Our Lady of Peace).  I do a presentation on ADHD, Anxiety, Preparation for Middle School, and Social Media, which is this week's presentation in Lexington.

It was actually challenging and fun presentation to put together because I read things that I would have never read in my normal life. While in the preparation for this, it struck me that emotional and behavioral problems related to social media happen in Africa, Asia, and Europe and not just here in the United States.   On a lighter note, I do have the question whether this slide will make it into the

presentation version that I had given business development, because on the one hand it may be too edgy, but on the other hand some parents need to see it because anger is a very impulsive emotion that makes people do and say things they regret.   People indeed publish things on social media in impulsive anger and as a result, besides criminal charges have,

  • Had their posts pulled off of Next Door,
  • Lost jobs, 
  • Failed to get jobs,
  • Gotten suspended from school,
  • and even gotten admitted against their will to the hospital where I work.


Nonetheless, despite my being called to the Bluegrass, thankfully, Charlaine, the very capable treasurer and former president will oversee the meeting this Monday, November 11, 2019 in the community room of the Bon Air Library at 6:30.  The main objective I have is distribution of membership letters to houses in the neighborhood.  We are seeking to boost our actual membership and interest of board membership for the health of the organization.  (You can scroll back and see the letter a few previous posts ago from 9/11/19).  I hope you can come.
