When you hear this Comedy Hypnotist, you get a hilarious show that educates, amazes, and astounds your audience.

 

Hypnosis is a heightened state of suggestibility that relaxes your conscious mind and allows your subconscious to dominate so you can make positive changes in your life. It’s fun and relaxing. Whether it is eliminating the smoking habit, losing weight and getting into great shape, hitting a golf ball with more concentration than you ever imagined...or overcoming the fear of rejection in a sales situation...or actually enjoying your next visit to the dentist...hypnosis empowers you to achieve results effectively, chemically free, healthily and quickly.You will laugh out loud while the impossible happens before your eyes!

 

 

 

 

 

Last Week in Review (January 10th, 2012):

The Club conducted a Board meeting at the Hotel last week, prior to the regular meeting.  We discussed several topics including recapping the Hotcake Hustle, financials, and planning service projects for the remainder of the year in addition to other matters.  We look forward to presenting a few upcoming service projects to the Club in the near future. 

 

 

Our speaker for last week:  The Club hosted a special event for researchers Ryan Freling, a Ph. D. candidate in Marketing at the University of Texas at Dallas.  Ryan and his colleague requested the Club complete a short survey, and then conducted a "bucket auction" for the grand prize of two bottles of wine.  We had great participation from the Club, and Ron Whitehead won the bidding process!  Then he graciously followed the auction with a raffle, which raised additional dollars for the Club.  At the end of the day the Club raised approximately $400, which we can use to fund an upcoming service project!  Thanks again to those who participated in the process for the researchers and for the Club!

 

 

 

CLUB NEWS:   

The Board is actively seeking fund raising and service project ideas for participation, and is looking forward to working with the Club on ideas for the year!  We have a Foundation Grant to prepare for Shelter Box, along with volunteer work with George H. W. Bush Elementary School.  We are also looking into our Easter Egg Baskets with Captain Hopes Kids. 

 

Our goal is to give back to our community and have fun doing it!  We have also presented to the Club the election of officers for the coming 2012-2013 Year, under our future President Bruce Arfsten.  The Club will formally approve the election of this Board (pending any objections) in the meeting on Tuesday.  Presented are Linda Groce (President-Elect), Tracy Broughton (Treasurer), Kevin Ross (Secretary), and Hamid Khaleghipour (Sergeant-At-Arms).  Also be sure to meet Reggie Carney if you haven't already.  He is a proposed member to the Club!
