The Plight of Military Working Dogs and Contract Working Dogs
Kristen Maurer
President
Mission K9 Rescue
"An MWD is a Military Working Dog that is owned by the Department of Defense (DoD) and is trained at Lackland AFB in a specialty. An MWD is attached to a special unit and deploys and returns with their handler and unit. Unfortunately, MWDs are considered to be 'equipment.' Therefore, if they are retired overseas, the DoD does not transport them back to the U.S. to be adopted by either their handler or civilians. … A CWD is a Contract Working Dog that is owned by a private company and is contracted by the DoD to work alongside our MWDs performing the same tasks protecting our troops. CWDs are not attached to a special unit, remain in active service, and are reassigned to other areas where needed. Sadly, some contract companies do not bring these warriors back when they are retired; they wait for someone to hear about them, adopt them and pay the costs to bring them home."
Kristin Maurer is the president of Mission K9 Rescue, an animal welfare group dedicated solely to rescuing, reuniting, rehoming, repairing, and rehabilitating American working dogs. Since 2013, the group has provided a wide array of services to working dogs in an effort to offer them a comfortable and peaceful retirement. Mission K9 focuses on retrieving dogs both from overseas and national shelter situations where they are suffering without proper care or medical attention. Their work has been featured numerous times in the national media, including appearances on "America with Eric Bolling" and "Pitbulls & Parolees." Learn more at www.MissionK9Rescue.org.

Uncovering History: Fun Facts About Paris' Oldest Church
Brian Smith
Program Director, Treasurer
American Friends for the Preservation of Saint Germain des Prés 
"The church was built in the year 543, making it almost 1,500 years old. The church at Saint Germain des Prés is home to strikingly beautiful works of art and architecture, including vast murals painted by Hippolyte Flandrin in the 19th century. Many styles of religiously inspired architecture can also be seen, from Romanesque arches to Gothic elements in the Nave and Choir. Along with the arches, Saint Germain des Prés showcases 40 Romanesque capitals which sit on the top of numerous columns. These capitals are designed with beautiful decorations or important historical events, portraying aspects of the Old and New Testaments, plants and animals, and even monastic life. They were sculpted in a time when many of the population could not read or write and were meant to educate patrons on religion through the images portrayed upon them. In 1014, the bell tower was built by Abbot Morard, making it the oldest in Paris (the tower just celebrated 1,000 years!). The Nave was also constructed in the 11th century.  It holds vast Roman arches, a once-wooden ceiling, and sizable windows which allow in torrents of light. "
Brian W. Smith serves as director and treasurer of American Friends for the Preservation of Saint Germain des Prés and has over 45 years of experience as a senior executive in an international financial services company, as a senior federal bank regulator, and as a senior partner in a multinational law firm. During this period, he has been associated with many of the major developments in financial services. Brian is a graduate of Columbia University Graduate School of Business and St. John's University (BA and JD). He resides in Gulfstream, Florida.

3 Ways to Create Family Resilience Routines 
Anne Grady
Founder, Author, Speaker
Anne Grady Group
"1) Add resilience to your schedule: You can't be resilient when you have nothing to give, so stress-free activities should be part of the weekly routine. What do you wish you had more time for? Is there a fun activity your child's been begging to do? Is it on your calendar? Schedule time to be physically active with your kids. Exercise changes your brain and repairs neurons damaged by stress. 2) Mistakes are opportunities for growth: If we use adversity properly, we can become more courageous and resilient as a result. We can triumph over anything life throws our way. If a work meeting didn't go as well as expected or your student didn't make the sports team, use that experience to practice resilience by searching for opportunities for personal growth. What did you learn from it? How will you use that information going forward? 3) Be grateful: Gratitude is huge. Research has found you don't have to find something to be grateful for; the mere act of looking releases dopamine and serotonin in the brain, changing your neurology. Make a gratitude jar, place it on your kitchen counter, and have each member of the family write down something each day for which they are grateful. The more specific the better."
Resilience expert Anne Grady is not your typical motivational speaker. She is a best-selling author, two-time TEDx speaker, trainer, survivor, optimist, inspirer, and truth-bomb dropper. Anne has a master's degree in organizational communication and has spent the last 20 years working with some of the largest organizations around the globe. She has become known as a leading expert on communication, leadership, emotional intelligence, and resilience, contributing to Harvard Business Review, Entrepreneur, Fast Company, Inc. Magazine, FOX Business, and many more. Audiences love her raw honesty, edgy humor, authenticity, and insight. Anne shares inspiring personal stories, cutting edge research-based content, and implementation tools to transfer learning into real life to improve relationships, navigate change, and triumph over adversity. And she'll make you laugh while she does it. In her first book, "52 Strategies for Life, Love, & Work," Anne provides practical strategies to improve relationships, increase productivity, and reduce stress. In her most recent book, "Strong Enough: Choosing Courage, Resilience, and Triumph," Anne draws from her personal life experiences that touch the hearts and minds of audiences helping them use adversity as a catalyst to grow "strong enough."
