Program for December 2, 2014, Nancy Douglas Nancy Douglas –“Handwriting Analysis Made Easy”
By Dick Dannells
Pres. Michael Boyer began the meeting at 12:39 PM with the usual introduction of guests and the auctioning off of the fine-free badge.
FINES:
Pres. Michael, back from his trip to Mexico, was assessed a $40 spin-the-wheel fine after a unanimous vote of the members. He was in a fining mood by fining everyone of a table of all male members $10 a piece that included: Steve Curry, Mike Kee, Cliff Nagler, Greg Baker, and Don Weber. He presented Connie O Henley a beautiful bouquet for stepping in for him the previous week and then assessed her with a fine of $50. Don Weber’s off-the-cuff remark cost him $15 and then when he complained about his fine assessed an additional $60. Terry Fibich celebrated his 18th year with our club with a $70 fine. Jeff King received his private pilot’s license and it cost him $100. Deenie Dotson’s trip to Tennessee cost her a $40 spin-the-wheel fine. Scott Astrosky turned in his temporary membership badge for a blue one to the tune of $40.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Steve Curry announced that Paul Holden and Bruce Beaudoin have volunteered to be co-chairman for the May 4, 2015 annual Rotary foundation golf tournament at the SLO Country Club. Steve asked all members to begin thinking about encouraging golfers sign up so that we can fill the course with golfers for the first time. Linda Osty announced that the second annual Christmas movie, The Shop Around the Corner starring Jimmy Stewart, will be shown at the Fair Oaks Theater on Saturday, December 20, 2014 at 11am. Dan Bronstein circulated a flyer on the “Healthy Families, Healthy Future” symposium on December 7 from 4 PM to 6 PM at the Arroyo Grande High School.
Program: Nancy Douglas –“Handwriting Analysis Made Easy”
Lee Ann Liscombe introduced Nancy who began by explaining the services that she provides. Her does handwriting analysis for employment screening, of historical family documents for genealogical research, for relationship compatibility, and for wellness assessment. She then asked us to write, with pen and paper she provided, the following paragraph “I agree that the purpose of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise.” She had us turn the paper over and write our full signature. We were then asked to analyze our own handwriting by using certain guidelines while taking into account the three zones in writing, i.e., the upper, middle and lower zones. The f’s are examples of letters that extend into the upper zone, the p’s exemplify letters that extend into the lower zone, and the other letters are in the middle zone. If your upper zone strokes are perpendicular to the line, you are tenacious and determined. If you are putting extraneous dots in your writing, you are writing under stress. If your "lower case "d" has a loop, you are sensitive. Extroverts have large writing and introverts have small. Large spaces between your words indicate you wish solitude. Angular writing indicates that you are an intellectual. If you write legibly you’re a “What you see is what you get” type of person. How you cross your t’s indicates how high you set your goals. If the bar is high in the “t”, you have high goals and if it’s low you have low goals. If the lower zone of a “y” forms a wavy line to the left you’re guilty of something.
