Valentines Day: President Uzo presented valentine flowers to all ladies who attended the meeting. Speaker: Ron introduced Henry Walker, CEO of F&M Bank. He reflected on the Bank’s early beginnings when his great grand father, C.J. Walker, started in November 1907. His wife Kari D Ziglar was a devout Christian and provided moral strength and leadership through the early years which remains key till this day. With $700 million in client deposits at end of 2011, F&M Bank is ranked 132 of 6500 naDonwide. The mortgage debacle culled out the bad apples in the industry; F&M now makes profit in mortgages. Their primary focus is arbitrage between commercial loans and deposit interest. In discussing how the system could be improved, Henry suggested that if banks were forced to hold the loans they made, we wouldn't be in our current situation. Altogether an insightful look into a key Banking issue facing us today . Kerby Next Week Thursday, Feb 23rd... Jacqueline Sidman , PhD Clinical Hypnotherapy Harness the Power of your Mind for Success What an extraordinary time we live in today. Just think:- a person of 70 years old has seen more significant change in their lifetime than five previous generations combined ! Consider the evolution of every aspect of life, from travel to communications; from entertainment to healthcare, from manufacturing to recycling:- advances so immense as to be almost unfathomable. The same thing is true in the field of therapy. The field of hypnotherapy has evolved from the craft of mystics and stage shows to a mainstay tool of clinicians, therapists and complementary healthcare providers. Now, in the 21st century, we have a new pioneer in the field of the subconscious mind, Dr. Jacqueline Sidman. Dr. Jacqueline Sidman is the president of The Sidman Institute in Irvine, CA. With a PhD from American Pacific University in Clinical Hypnotherapy, she established her practice in 1989 and has helped thousands of people overcome catastrophic illnesses and stubborn problems. Dr. Sidman is a sought-after consultant and professional public speaker, and has addressed audiences at UCI Medical Center, the Susan Samueli Center for Integrative Medicine, plus a number of hospitals, corporations, business expos, community events and associations. Dr. Sidman has been featured in more than five hundred newspaper and magazine articles, as well as television and radio programs. She has hosted her own radio show on KRLA, and two cable television shows, Health & Happiness and Glendora Spotlight.
