Presentation
Allan Crumes introduced our speaker, Dan Blanchard, a motivational speaker and small business coach. Dan has been coaching small businesses since 1980 and gave his presentation on the “Power of Winnable Games”. Dan’s theory was that people get motivated by games and competition, but don’t treat accomplishing tasks towards a goal with the same enthusiasm. Any endeavor in life can be organized as a game. You need to : 1. Have a big idea; 2. Develop a method to accomplish what you set out to do; and 3. Keep score every day.
King of Clubs
Marty Koetters won $6.00 – no King of Clubs was drawn.
Did You Know? Ye Olde Oil was first published in 1945 as a weekly club newsletter. Can you believe this publication is 60+ years old!!!
The history reports that "Ye Olde Oil was a source of strength in communication". The name was selected for "oil, a lubricant that gets rid of squeaks and groans".
