FINES
Don't forget the "Rat on a Friend"
program!
Mike R celebrated his wife Jennifer's birthday
(Nov. 19).
Jo celebrated her 2-year Club anniversary
(Nov. 17), and paid $20 to finish her fine schedule and ring the
bell.
Elly volunteered ('cuz Russell forgot ...) a fine
for her son Ilya's birthday.
Thanks to a rat-fink named Gardner, the
Past-Presidents ganged up on Libby who declared that Wed. Nov. 29th was a
holiday with no Rotary meeting because of her birthday. She did not say how
old she would be (a little birdie said 39 + 21 ...). So ... she paid off
her fine schedule to ring the bell.
Other StuffRaffle - No blue marble winner today ... the pot
grows.
Libby has Russell's gavel. Will he have it in
December?
Jean Elliott was the guest speaker, graphology - Handwriting: Graphology is the study of handwriting, especially when employed as a means of analyzing character. Graphologists examine loops, dotted "i's" and crossed "t's," letter spacing, slants, heights, ending strokes, etc., but they believe that such handwriting minutiae are physical manifestations of unconscious mental functions. Graphologists believe such details can reveal as much about a person
Graphology is the analysis of the psychological structure of the human subject through his or her handwriting. The central nervous system provides a direct and undistorted link to the deeper self. Every human mind comprises a unique and immensely complex blend of character and accumulated experiences of life. Handwriting reflects this by evolving constantly. No two samples are the same. Our graphologists study psychology and psychoanalysis. This, combined with the acquired skills of detailed analysis of the formation of writing, enables the detection and assessment of key personality elements such as ambition, energy, sociability, adaptability, sensitivity, etc.
