Spring Leadership Luncheon
By Wauwatosa Public Library
Tuesday, Apr 1 2008, 02:26 PM
The Wauwatosa Public Library Foundation cordially invites you to the Spring Leadership Luncheon Thursday, April 17, 2008 at the Zoofari Conference Center, 9715 Bluemound Road. The luncheon will be from 12:00 to 1:15 p.m. (registration will begin at 11:30 a.m.) and will include a program featuring keynote speaker, Dr. Bob Gleeson, M.D., the presentation of the Arthur B. Kohasky Leadership Award and Leadership Awards to area high school students.
 Dr. Bob Gleeson, M.D. is one of Milwaukee’s foremost specialists in internal medicine. As Medical Director of Northwestern Mutual and President and Chief Medical Director of Health Now, he has dedicated his life to studying the habits of healthy people. In his book, What Healthy People Know: and the 7 Things They Do to Stay Healthy and Live Long, Dr. Gleeson presents the science behind the daily choices that healthy people make to promote good health. He uses solid research to tell us how to lower our risk of chronic disease and enhance our quality of life, which will, in turn, substantially reduce health care costs and disability rates. A frequent writer and lecturer on wellness, chronic illness and epidemic disease, Dr. Gleeson is working on a second book, tentatively titled, Your New Life, Longer than You Thought.
 The Arthur B. Kohasky Leadership Award will be presented to Dr. and Mrs. Craig Larson. Craig and Ann Larson have been dedicated Wauwatosa volunteers for two generations. While their children were young, both were active in the Washington School PTA. Craig served on the Wauwatosa School board for 25 years and was a member of the Underground Traveling Medicine Show, a group of doctors who provided emergency care during stadium and Summerfest concerts. Ann was a devoted supporter and tireless fundraiser for the Wauwatosa East Marching Band, Orchestra and Theater Department. She has also been an active volunteer for the Medical Society Balls, raising funds for scholarships, in the Washington Highlands Homeowners Association and has served as an election judge at Wauwatosa’s polls for years.
Also on the program, will be the presentation of Leadership Awards to high school students from DSHA High School, Marquette University High School, Pius XI High School, Wauwatosa East High School, Wauwatosa West High School and Wisconsin Lutheran High School.
