In case you haven't already heard, our Chapter is about to launch a
huge public relations campaign that will raise awareness for the
entire hypnosis community.

There's STILL TIME to get involved.

WHAT'S HAPPENING

In honor of Veterans Day, many of our members have agreed to present
free 2-hour classes in their communities for Veterans, Active Duty Military and
their Families. These informational classes will include a simple overview of
myths and facts about hypnosis, some self-hypnosis tips for relaxation and
self-renewal, and an optional guided group induction.

We're each handling our own logistics: finding facilities in our own
region, scheduling our own classes, providing our own materials, etc.
The Chapter is creating a hand-out that you can download and print.

Even though these are individual events, we are promoting them as a
UNIFIED WHOLE - an example of what we can do TOGETHER as a group,
even as we work INDEPENDENTLY to promote our own businesses.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

Over the next 2 weeks, we will be sending press releases to various
media outlets, pointing them to the NGHWA site, where they will find
a schedule of events (see below for the text of what will be posted
so far).

In order to get involved, all you need to do is schedule your event
(please use the same title and text as below). Then send the date,
time, location, any requirements for pre-registration, and your
contact information to Lauren@.... We'll get it
posted on the NGHWA site.

In lieu of an event or class, you may also offer free phone
consultations or free downloads of articles or audio programs.
Check out the World Hypnotism Day website for ideas -
www.worldhypnotismday.com.

What follows is the text and a partial listing of events. We will
soon be adding a program at the Seattle Veterans Center that Kate
Wells is organizing, and Kent Ogletree will be adding a few events
Veterans Centers in the Tacoma area.

This is an unprecedented effort, made possible by the vision and hard
work of a lot of people behind the scenes, and I'm grateful for
everyone's efforts in making this possible. I hope to hear from many
of you soon with your event information.
