A Journey from Depression and Substance Abuse to Start-up Success
Guest Speaker
Greg Nance
CEO, Dyad.com
Bainbridge Island is an idyllic place to grow up but many students feel unrelenting pressure to succeed.
At Bainbridge High School Greg Nance lived two lives. He was a three-term class president, 2007 Washington State debate champ and earned acceptances to West Point and the University of Chicago. However, he was overwhelmed by pressure, anxiety, and depression. He began self-medicating with alcohol and painkillers.
Greg will share how supportive teachers and compassionate mentors helped him find his way out of this abyss. He has found meaning and fulfillment as a start-up founder and ultramarathon runner.
He is the Chairman and co-founder of Moneythink and the CEO of dyad.com, organizations that have helped students earn over 27 million dollars in university scholarships. His work has been recognized by The New York Times and President Obama as a “Champion of Change.”

At our pre-meeting last week, Carol Reitz facilitated a presentation from nine of our committee heads….and they’re looking for new members.
Based on their comments, Carol put together a Help Wanted document for you to contact them and join.
The formation of a new committee was also announced by Marina….Rotarians Care. This new committee will actively communicate with club members whose circumstances - career, family, health - may warrant caring and/or concern or even an expression of congratulations.
For instance, it can be shopping for a fellow Rotarian who has had a medical procedure, visiting, writing a note, or calling to check-in based on the circumstances. The new committee chairperson is Vicki Browning.
Contact Vicki and join now….or answer the Help Wanted ads…and serve on any one of the committees helping our Club and community.

Based on your interests, experience, and time availability, you can help our club and community by working with any of our 30 committees and subcommittees. Just click on the button above to find one that best fits and contact the chairperson. |

Remembering the Moments
by Vince DiCarolis
It was sad to hear about the passing of John Morrow last week. You know a man by the experiences you’ve had with him. Mine with John were always memorable.
I usually saw him sitting near the door at Starbuck’s in the morning or, more frequently, perched on a stool at the wine bar in Lynwood. I’d grab the stool next to him, and we’d toast family and friends and talk about the latest Rotary project he volunteered for. I’ll miss that.
If there’s a Rotary Club in the next life John, I know you’ve already joined.
So I raise my glass to you. I won’t cry, I’ll do what you wanted.....smile at the memories.
