[cont.] that his life was fabulous, making $20 donation to the club’s foundation. Guy Harden when called on reported a garage sale which seemed unrelated to his daughter finishing her Master’s degree at Yale (paid by Yale). Apparently Guy’s garage sales have not been sufficiently lucrative for Ivy League tuitions. Uzo Okereke was pleased to report on his recent visit to Morehouse College to visit his daughter and a visit the previous weekend to see his son at the Air Force Academy. Congratulations Uzo!!Speaker Bill Engle, Master Hypnotist. Presented discussions concerning the amazing “Virtual Lap Band” as well as patients breaking away from alcohol abuse, overcoming public speaking fears and cravings for chocolate, Bill’s presentation was very interesting including his own experience with dental surgery under “hypno amnesia”.Next week’s meeting promises to be another great event. Please bring a guest and plan to attend. -Tim Shields
