This Weeks Spreaker - Josh Lane - Robots for Seniors
Josh Lane is a principal engineer at DreamFace Technologies, LLC and is leading the hardware development and manufacturing effort for the Ryan CompanionBot, a socially assistive robot for seniors with dementia. He received his B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Denver in 2013 and his M.S. degree in engineering technology from Purdue University in 2015. He has conducted extensive robotics research over the last five years, initially focusing on Urban Search and Rescue robotics and now shifting to the area of social robotics. In that time, he has successfully developed prototypes for systems aimed at improving human well-being including an eye tracker device to allow brain trauma and spinal cord injury sufferers to more easily use a computer, as well as a serpentine hybrid search and rescue robot for disaster relief and the Ryan Companionbot.

This year we are celebrating 100 years of Lions in Colorado. This year’s combined State/Districts convention will be fitting for this celebration. Through surveys and interviews over more than a year, we have feedback from Lions throughout Colorado on what they want in the Lions convention. What we have heard is Lions want Service, Learning, Fellowship, Interaction and Fun
 
This celebration convention will have it all. We have Service Projects with a touch of competition between districts. This will have some amazing rewards. The service projects will include Vision, Youth, Hunger and Environment. We will have Learning Breakout Sessions with new ideas you can use. Through the feedback from Lions we know the topics you want to hear. The goal is learning something you can use now.
 
We heard loud and clear Lions want a more Interactive convention. We will have this through the new format Lions Program Breakout Sessions as well as the Service Project and Learning Session Breakout Sessions. Fellowship is just all of the convention!  From all the breakout sessions to the meals to the hospitality suites to meeting Past International President Joe Preston. This convention will have a lot more opportunities for fellowship.
 
This convention will be fun, like no other!  If being together is not enough fun, we will have professional comedian - motivational speaker, Brad Montgomery.  He has spoken to major corporations and non-profits. Just one of his awards was being inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame. Check him out at www.bradmontgomery.com
 
Yes, coming to the convention costs money. But you are getting a lot of value for your money.  In addition to everything listed above you get, to name a few – great meals (not the normal convention food), snack breaks in the morning and afternoon, commemorative 100 year program, name badges, convention pin.
 
Most of all, you will celebrate 100 years of Lions in Colorado with your fellow Lions.
 
 We will celebrate the 100 year birthday of Denver Lions on Saturday October 14, 2017.   Put this date on your calendaer
