All I can say… for those who decided not to be there … it was definitely your loss. We had an absolute ball! The food, music and people was the right combination. We had the IE popping…everyone was looking good and feeling good. Having lots of fun! There was so much food that it flew out the door. Kudos to Coco our Caterer. There were Enchiladas, Swedish meatballs, Spicy Chicken Wings, Collard Greens, Pasta, Fruit and Green Salads, Rice with Sweet Rolls.
The Band had an awesome soulful sound and lead singer Harry Thompson has a voice of a Male Angel. Anyone whom heard the sound agreed…they were one of the best!
MC – Angel AKA Wynemia rocked the house with her flow and excitement!
DJ – Live kept the party going. Thanks Moore!
Also, a big thanks to Lady T who handled her business at the door.
The I.E. Banquette Room was the right place for a nice event. Thanks Oscar and staff…FYI, the bar was setup nicely….drinks could have been a little more palatable…lhd

Positive Note: Change your thinking…change your life!
Which life will you choose?
When you contrast the bad news (the paycheck-to-paycheck struggle that kills freedom) with the good news (the phenomenal wealth and opportunity that is all around us), you begin to realize that life is not fair.
The fact is, you don’t get in life what you wish for. You get in life what you go for:
People choose their lives.
People choose their actions.
People choose their outcomes.
Life is a cause set in motion.
And life is not over until you quit.

Your zodiac sign may not be what you think – NBC-2.com WBBH News for Fort Myers, Cape Coral & Naples
MINNESOTA: If you’ve ever read your horoscope, you may be interested in what at least one astronomer has to say about it. Turns out your sign may not really be your sign.
“This is not something that happened today. This has gone on for thousands of years,” said astronomer Parke Kunkle. The star doctors say Earth is currently in a different spot in relation to the Sun,
and its equatorial alignment has changed from 3,000 years ago when the study of astrology began — back when 12 zodiac signs were assigned to 12 different periods of the year.
Those signs you were born into are different now because the Earth’s wobble on its axis has created a one-month bump in the alignment of the stars, according to Kunkle.
“Because of this change of tilt, the Earth is really over here in effect and Sun is in a different constellation than it was 3,000 years ago.” What that means to you is a Virgo may now be a Leo, an Aquarius -
a Capricorn, and a Taurus – an Aries.
“So I’m an Aries now, fabulous,” said Jozsef Szathmary, reacting to the news.
Szathmary has gone from Taurus to Aries in stride, vowing to his sun alignment that he is ready to change.
“I’m a ball of sunshine….wherever the sun is at, that’s where I’m at,” he said.
And that is just the point. The Sun and Earth are moving surely and slowly, so the stars of your sign aren’t the same as they were when that sign was assigned to your birth thousands of years ago.
For your new sign, just subtract one spot on the list.
But, don’t expect your horoscope reading to change. Scientists say this rotation has been known about since 500 B.C. and the horoscope calendar hasn’t moved.

Read something interesting about happiness that is worth practicing…article stated…”You have much more power over your happiness level than you probably realize. Each of us is born with a happiness “set point” around which our happiness level tends to settle, regardless of what happens to us. Research suggests that genetics determine about 50 percent of this set point and environment determines the other 50 percent. Other research shows that only a small amount of your environment is out of your control (things like the weather and the stock market). This means that you have control over 40% of your happiness level. Own this fully. Intentionally make choices that make you happier. When you make positive changes in yourself and your environment, you raise your disposition toward happiness.”

Thank everyone for your support of the first annual event. The participants were very much appreciated. Due to the attendance number, the funds raised to present this planned event failed short of everyone’s expectations. The financial issues presented to this Central Region area is being reviewed for final closeout. From what I hear, this region’s financial responsibilities are still in the works. The 2010 National Competition has been cancelled.
The Good News is the Sing & Slam Competitions will continue next year with a “New Look” and with new managing partnership. This change in managing these upcoming regional shows promises commitment in bringing you exciting entertainment that you envision and expect. So be on the lookout for the Second Annual Sing & Slam in 2011…lhd

Kerry Pollard, General Manager, reminded me…
“This isn’t just the month for costumes, candy and creepy ghouls and goblins—it’s also the month of something altogether different: breast cancer awareness. As something that began back in 1985, this has now grown into an international campaign to raise awareness and funds to cure the disease. So amidst all the monster madness, you’ll likely see lots of pink themed retail items and the symbol for breast cancer awareness, the pink ribbon.” Please provide support where ever possible…lhd
