Lots of initial work — Footprint still being discussed.
Have to apply to City for a license.

Shred IT
Roberta prepared and distributed 5 posters each - Deidre suggested we each take more posters and put up throughout our neighbourhoods. 
Each person who comes is worth about $50 to the fund-raising efforts!

Scott has not yet heard back from Superstore about second Shred Event in November.  He will follow up.
Scott mentioned that sometimes other groups also ask for food donations. 
There was some concern that some may pay with outdated food instead of money. 
Perhaps we should connect with Carlos and Eva to see if Salvation Army want to participate in a food donation bin.

Community Projects:

White Rock Learning Centre Meeting
Pat, Jerry and Rhonda met with Janice and Susan from the WR Learning Centre.

We discussed our desire to explore how our club could contribute toward providing a positive connection with the students and the community. 

Through our membership, we have a wealth and variety of experience and expertise to offer to the overall learning experience and personal development.

It was suggested that, through an effective relationship, we offer small ‘m’ mentorship, a safe place for support, guidance, a role model as well as some work/career experience.
Gary cautioned that it isn’t about dropping a kid off to an employer, and stressed that any employer offering work experience be prepared so that it is a meaningful experience for the young person.
Scott wondered if school has opportunity to career aptitude test.  These tests are often out-sourced and quite expensive.

Janice and Susan believe that the inter-generational opportunity is particularly needed, and are keen to put more thought into this type of a project and will follow up with some ideas.

Guest Presentation:  Presentation -- Jackie McLean
Jerry introduced Jackie McLean, Hypnotherapist.
Jackie was President of a local Rotary Club, board member of several non-profits and a member of toastmasters.
Jackie has had 15 years of using hypnosis to help people release beliefs and patterns that do not serve them.

Jackie invited us to think about:
“What stands in the way of us achieving success?”

Jackie suggested that self-sabotage patterns, beliefs and habits residing in our sub-conscious mind are contributing to us not leading our best life.
Furthermore, stress and burn out is consuming our energy and interfering with our ability to fully enjoy our personal life.
We often turn to destructive habits to compensate (that extra glass of wine each night) and this is at a great price to our health and well-being.
When we are not living up to our potential, we can feel like  failure in terms of our business and relationships.

Solution:
Using hypnosis – we can get to the core of where these destructive habits live and change beliefs, shift patterns and change lives.  changing beliefs and shifting patterns and changing lives.

Her story:
Jackie grew up in India in an abusive environment - sexual abuse and physical abuse with an alcoholic father
Widow at 23 with children and lived most of her life with addicts - younger brother died at 36 with his addictions.
 
Hypnosis helped her to break free from her limiting beliefs and patterns.
New awareness - shifts old belief system.
Jackie shared that she has many stories of client success with even just one session – especially with addictions such as smoking, alcohol, nail biting.

She is able to work all over the world online and in person, and promises that individuals can overcome addiction and get rid of noises in their head.
Freedom to feel like a new human being.
Jackie offered a complimentary consult - discreet conversation to determine if hypnosis is the right way to go.

She left her contact information.
Roberta thanked Janet.

Adjournment:
Jerry adjourned the meeting at 8:30am.
