A Very Memorable Meeting!Harold Mangum

Harold Magum, president of The Memory Technologies Institute, was our guest speaker this week. His company presents seminars that help train people in how to use the untapped capacity of their minds to properly organize, file and then retrieve information.

The Memory Technologies Institute is a company that specializes in training business professionals and students in corporate environments and personal settings on how to develop an instant recall memory. These skills are necessary to maintain a productive position in today's competitive market place in order to be more profitable.

There is nothing magic about the techniques presented by MTI...it is just a matter of training the mind so that it maximizes its own potential. For more information visit http://www.memorytech.net


Guests, Visitors & Other Good News

This week was President Bola's first official meeting where she ran it from gavel to gavel. She did a wonderful job...leading us in song, inspiring all members to attend all possible club meetings...and BE ON TIME! Next week she is going to institute a "Buddy System" - so that each of us has a Club Buddie that we can encourage to attend meetings and special events, and that we can touch base with if they miss a meeting or event. Come Tuesday...and learn more

In celebration of Bola's first meeting as President, Karen Blakeman recognized her status by showering Bola with one dollar bills - and old Nigerian tradition according to Karen. (????)

Assistant Governor Craig Wooten visited with us this week. Maybe he was checking to see how well Bola would control this roudy group of Rotarians?
