| Oct 30 - Nov 2 Twelfth Night |
Twelfth Night
Twelfth Night is a veritable “feast of fools” in love. In Shakespeare’s delightful comedy, there are few lengths to which the characters will not go in order to pursue their passions. Cross-dressing, mistaken identity, and slight-of-hand propel the various lovers into far-flung situations that only the original master of comedy can set right. |

| Nov 3 Parasites Can Be in You Too |
Parasites are probably the single most undiagnosed health challenge in this country. They cause strange symptoms and hide from detection very well. Of the over 1,000 parasites that can affect us, only 40 to 50 can be identified through standard medical tests. Fortunately, there are other, non-standard tests that can find more. Come to this lecture to find out the best way to get tested for them and learn more about how parasites affect us, our digestion, our brain and what herbs can clear them out.
Free personal evaluations via muscle testing will be given after the lecture. Space is Limited. Call to reserve your seat today at 734-302-7575. Non-Patients may have an opportunity for a Free Nutritional Screening. All first time lecture attendees are eligible for a New Patient Coupon valued at $60.

What You Can Expect
Clarity
Sometimes brilliance and innovation comes at a cost. You have so many great ideas and you personally offer so much, that it can be difficult to articulate everything clearly. We're gonna break that code in this class.
Confidence
There is good news and bad news. The Bad News: your business isnot unique. The good, no GREAT news is: you are. You will be encouraged to stop hiding behind your product and let the world see the total, complete story. I know it's a good one too. I just know it. When you're done, you and your business will have the tools to stand heads above the competition.
Momentum
Time is money, money is time and you have a little of both (hopefully, enough of both for this course...smiles). You need something that you can implement and adapt easily without having to do the equivalent of parting the Red Sea to make it happen. You want to connect with the right market and build trust quickly. We'll help you with that.
Our Promise
 We promise to bring you our very best. From the time you walk in the door, you are under our care and we are fully committed to your success, before, during and after this workshop. What you are about to take on isn't easy work. We get it because we've been through the process again and again. However, you are amongst friends and please take comfort in the fact that you now have a new set of scrappy, weather-tested fans to fill up your 'amen' corner. (smiles) Let's get to work!

| Nov 6 Grand reopening of the Travis Pointe State-of-the-Art indoor tennis facility |
We are pleased to announce that our indoor tennis facility is in the final stages of its State-of-the-Art renovation. In celebration of its completion, we are hosting a special Open House. We would like to invite the public, TPCC members, and all tennis enthusiasts to attend this event on Thursday, November 6 from 5:30 – 8:30 PM.
After two months of dedicated efforts our facility has had a complete facelift inside and out consisting of; a new roof, painting, insulation, ventilation, infra-red heat, backdrops, divider curtains, nets, resurfacing of the courts, new furnishings for the tennis shop and college tournament indirect lighting. During the renovation process we took advantage of the resources within our own state and invested in products designed and manufactured here in Michigan. In addition to our goal of investing in companies to promote our local economy we also made a conscious effort to be environmentally friendly.
We look forward to sharing our club with you on November 6th, so please join us for appetizers and refreshments as we celebrate the reopening of our renewed indoor tennis facility. |

| Nov 10 Bourbon Basics Cocktail Class |
| The story of bourbon is the story of America itself. Smoky, sweet, spicy and complex, this corn-based spirit has been a part of our culture for centuries. Recognized by Congress in 1964 as a “distinctive product of the United States,” bourbon is our national liquor. The history of our native spirit is long and colorful, from its birth on the banks of the Ohio river to George Washington’s role in the Whiskey Rebellion; from creating what we now refer to as NASCAR to being at the center of a befuddling Pappy Van Winkle heist in October of 2013 that, at the time of this writing, is still unsolved. Join us as we celebrate our native spirit this November at Cornman Farms. We will learn to mix three unique classic cocktails to highlight the varieties in bourbon: the Mint Julep, the Old Fashioned, and the Boulevardier. We’ll also delve into the colorful lore of our own American whiskey and learn what it is about bourbon that makes it different from all other whiskies. We will be serving some tapas to accompany our bourbon based cocktails. |

| Nov 12 MOXIE: THE SECRET OF BOLD AND GUTSY LEADERSHIP |
If good leadership were easy to come by, it would hardly have remained a hot topic in the world of business (or government, or religion or ...) for centuries! No one knows the challenges of being a good leader more than John Baldoni - he is an internationally known leadership educator.
John recognizes that there is a long list of qualities good leaders demonstrate - they're smart, resilient and resourceful. They persevere, innovate and take risks. They are mindful, self aware and opportunity seeking. They have what you might call the "right stuff to lead". That X-Factor. John Baldoni calls it MOXIE! One part determination, one part smarts, and one part courage! Moxie is an attribute that successful leaders utilize to make a positive difference in the world in which they live. In this session, John Baldoni tells you how to bring on your MOXIE!
