Fidelis Care hosts Robert Danzig, Sept. 10
Thursday, August 27th, 2009
Do you want to make a difference in the lives of people and the community around you? Maybe you already are, and hats off to you. Perhaps you want to, and have no idea where to begin, maybe you need a little convincing to get started.
Robert Danzig, one of the nation’s most sought-after motivational speakers, will be in Albany Sept. 10 to share his message “on the ageless power we all hold to make a difference”. Danzig has shared his message and personal story around the country, and now he’s bringing it home to Albany.
The name Robert Danzig may be familiar to you; he was the publisher of Albany’s own Times Union. And, if you’re in the audience Sept. 10, his name is one you might never forget.
Danzig’s life journey began in Albany as a foster child moving from one home to another, but as Danzig himself says, he was fortunate to have met one woman who made him aware of his own self-worth. It was just what he needed to hear. With much adversity, he graduated from high school, and without much support on the home front, he got a job as an office boy at the Times Union. At that time, his boss told him that he was “full of promise”. Armed with those positive messages, he pursued his education and almost twenty years later, became the publisher of the Times Union and later, served as CEO of the Hearst Corporation for twenty years. He has since moved on to become a highly-successful author, speaker and philanthropist. Danzig’s story is a unique one, full of personal growth that is inspiring, and fascinating.
Senior Services of Albany and Fidelis Care New York invited Danzig to share his message because he encourages people to improve the quality of life, their own and that of others, and that is exactly what Senior Services of Albany does, and has done for more than 50 years. Jane Schramm, executive director at Senior Services of Albany, explained that Danzig is not only a community leader, an older adult himself, and a mentor, but also a talented speaker who conveys a positive message to any listener. Schramm believes that Danzig’s message will be a reminder that age is irrelevant when it comes to helping others, adding that Senior Services “can always find a place for older adults who want to be part of the organization”.
Experience Senior Services of Albany, enjoy lunch, and let Bob Danzig tell you his story of personal triumph, from a foster kid to an industry and civic leader, and how the people around him provided inspiration. Perhaps you’ll be motivated, and realize that no matter your age, you posses the power to make a difference. Don’t let your opportunity go to waste- apply yourself.

Presented by Senior Services of Albany and sponsored by Fidelis Care New York. September 10, noon to 2 p.m. at Louise Corning Senior Center, 25 Delaware Avenue, Albany. Tickets are $25 each. RSVP to 465-3322
