Celebrating Small Business!

Monday, October 20

Time: 6:30 p.m.

Place: Hotel Port aux Basques

Speaker: Jeremy Bennett

 

Bio: Jeremy Bennett is known as one of the most thought provoking psychological illusionists in the country as well as being one of the most upbeat and motivational speakers on The Power of the Mind and Law of Attraction.

 

Mr. Bennett studies with some of the most sophisticated minds in the world. Combining his degree in psychology and philosophy, his writings on new age concepts and his studies in ancient philosophical teachings, he demonstrates what the mind is truly capable of both in front of a camera and live on stage in front of thousands!

 

Mr. Bennett has signed a major DVD deal with a high end television and commercial video production house. In the summer of 2006 Believe was produced. This DVD went on to be the first internationally broadcasted DVD of its kind in Canadian history! In addition to this, Mr. Bennett is currently starring in two television series, Supernatural Investigator and Occam's Razor.

 

Jeremy teaches that all success starts with an idea. How we treat and nurture that idea is what will make or break the level of success achieved. The keynote theme for this event will be "The Power of Thoughts and Attracting Business".

 

Attached is a inspiration brouchure provided by Mr. Bennett, and for additional information you can visit his website at www.jeremybennett.ca

 

The cost of this motivational event is $10.00. This will include dessert and tea/coffee.  A great way to spend a Monday evening!  We hope to see you all there!

8/21/2009

******************************************************************************

The 7th Annual Lighthouse Relay "Race to the Sea" got off to a rainy start on Saturday, August 8th.  But the rain did not dampen the spirts of the 130 runners as they ran from the Cape Anguille Lighthouse in the beautiful Codroy Valley to the Rose Blanche Lighthouse on the majestic southwest coast of Newfoundland.  Once again, the Chamber was excited to be involved in the planning and organizing of this wonderful initiative of the Leading Edge Credit Union.  A sincere thank you to all the runners and volunteers for making this another awesome race!
