Speaker Meeting
Manhattan 8PM
Join us as we hear from our own member, Jan Bennett, at the Soldiers', Sailors', Marines' and Airmen's Club, (283 Lexington Avenue, between 36th and 37th Streets).
Jan is the leader of the Parapsychology and Psychotronic SIG, and her presentations are always lively. This presentation will offer you the opportunity to: "Be energized, not zapped! Absolutely anything, including watches, metal frame eyeglasses and sneakers located within a five-foot radius of a person will affect that person's energy. Plus, learn important info about cell phones. The truth of this will be demonstrated by using a muscle technique called applied kinesiology. You will learn simple things that will energize and not zap."
