The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Workshop 2-Day Workshop Now Enrolling for August 12-13, 2008

 

The workshop is being offered to the Branson/Lakes Area as part of an ongoing process of growth and development. The best way to improve any organization, family, or community is to improve yourself.  This workshop provides participants with a robust and tactical implementation of The 7 Habits into their lives.  This is a must for anyone looking to become a more effective person—regardless of position, or stage in life.  A five-step process will help empower participants: 1. Learn the basic principles underlying personal and interpersonal effectiveness.  These principles are habits of people who consistently achieve their desired results.  2. Commit to live these principles.  3. Apply the principles in daily work and personal situations.  4. Meet periodically to share experiences, account for commitments, and learn new principles.  5. Monitor effectiveness and work for continual correction and improvement.  The Result: As people apply the principles consistently over time, they develop habits of effectiveness.  These habits empower them to become more self-directed and less victimized by external circumstances.  When these habits are widely shared in an organization, the organization can move effectively towards its mission.  In a nutshell, the essence of this valuable training is to equip you with the principles, the perspective, and the tools to achieve your goals and live a rich, rewarding, and balanced life.  Workshop Dates: August 12-13, 2008, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Total Cost: $299 Includes: continental breakfast, lunch, weekly planner, and 7 Habits manual.

Hollister Mayor David Tate Contacts North Pole - Arranges Sunday Visit From Santa

Mayor David G. Tate makes arrangements with Santa Claus to make a priority visit to the City of Hollister.

The Santa Train that was scheduled to arrive in Hollister on Sunday, December 9 was cancelled due to extreme ice and weather conditions in northern Missouri.

The City of Hollister is the largest stop on the Santa Train line.

Mayor Tate says…"the children of Hollister have had a special visit from Santa Claus every year for the past 14 years by way of the railroad. The children cannot be disappointed…so therefore, I contacted the North Pole for Santa's schedule and asked that he make a very special stop in Hollister."

According to Assistant City Administrator, Vonnie Mathiesen, Western Taney County Fire District will provide transportation for Santa to arrive at the Hollister Train Depot on Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 3:00 pm. Children will be able to get their Christmas wishes to Santa from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

The Hollister Area Chamber of Commerce will provide holiday goodie bags.
