Jeanne Smith  had a HD for our guest Denise Gorham.  (Editors note:  Happy Dollars are the way our members can give recognition to something happy in their life or for others who have gone above and beyond in achievement.  The dollars collected go to the House Fund to help pay for guests' luncheons). And of course there is the 50/50 drawing each week.  You buy one ticket for one dollar and the person who has the winning number gets half the proceeds.  The more you play, the more you have a chance to win.  The other half goes into the House Fund account.

Program:

Our speaker who has been with us before Dr. James Flood, a chiropractor. He spoke about success. First need to write down goals- put them in a journal and review them periodically. If goal is not written down it will tend to be lost or forgotten. Also think in terms of pictures -- picture your goal along with writing it down. The use of perception, will (focus) memory, intuition and reason will help to achieve the goals.

 

Jim Leder won the 50/50.
