Avive partners with organizations to develop and implement revolutionary AED programs that target Sudden Cardiac Arrest. We have made great strides in developing technology that is easier to use, easier to manage from an admin point of view, and the only fully connected AED that works with 911 dispatch. Our AED bridges the massive gap between Sudden Cardiac Arrest and hospital treatment by providing never-before-available information instantly after a rescue.

Every week, we throw things away without a second thought. Food scraps, broken cellphones, worn-out products — into the bin they go. But what if the way we throw things away is costing our community money, growing our landfills, and polluting the places we love — and there's a better way that actually makes economic sense? Our speaker today has made it his mission to teach communities this opportunity to live a healthier and happier life. Ed Tivnan is America's first certified Professional Facilitator of the French Circular Economy Collage — a credential he earned in October 2025. He is a former high school biology teacher with 14 years in the classroom. He is also President of the Clipper City Toastmasters.

Activities will be sensory-friendly and thoughtfully designed so that every student can participate, create fun memories, and experience success! Game Day will be a time to come together as a community to celebrate inclusion, friendship, and sportsmanship. 

Victor and Sze-Wen will give an update on their April trip to Kenya. 

Meeting with our current scholarship recipients. RSVP required for food. 

Permagardens – a creative and proven combination of permaculture with bio-intensive gardening – makes it possible for a family to grow all the nutritious vegetables they need in a four-meter by four-meter square, including during dry seasons and droughts.  Vitamin A-rich vegetables prevent stunting in children. It takes families away from unsustainable markets for food, while surpluses can be sold to pay for school fees, medicines, and other household essentials. Working in multiple countries in Africa and in India, The Permagardens Foundation trains people – more than 80% of them women – to become self-sufficient and attain food sovereignty.

Besides being Board Chair of The Permagardens Foundation – www.permagardens.earth – David Albert was also the founder of Friendly Water for the World.
