Umm... the only things that come to mind are not very cheery, such as PTSD and bereavement. Memorial Day seems to be more a day of reflection than celebration, so I'm not sure how you could promote this.

I'm planning to attend a luau to help a local man raise money for his heart transplant.

I bet there will be at least 25 people there, and since my business card emphasizes weight loss, there I am, mixing and mingling, handing out cards and answering questions, when people ask me what I do, and explain that I am a hypnotist...

I am noticing that whenever I mix and mingle, just in a mixing and mingling way, someone always asks a question about hypnosis.

Attending another event might be a fall-back plan for you, if you are not finding a better idea?...

Hey guys,

I went to the charity luau for a Polynesian Hawaiian man raising $ to pay for his heart transplant.

I like luau anyway, and I am a soft touch for charity when my contribution goes more directly to the person, instead of 90 per cent overhead for united way or one of those other outfits.

As a pecuniary part, I figured maybe 50 would attend, and perhaps I could mix and mingle, and hand out cards.

Although I had a great time enjoying the Don Ho band and the hula dancers dancing to the polynesian drumming, I did not get the opportunity to mix and mingle.

I would guess that 500 people were there, with 450 adults.

But I DID learn ONE new thing. There was a raffle, with good but not tremendous prizes. One prize was an oil change. One prize was a haircut from a stylist. Several prizes were free meals from restaurants; several prizes were free single sessions from legitimate masseuses. Nothing worth more than 75 dollars.

But it was easy to imagine that the grand prize raffle could be me, with a 3 session package worth more than $350, and then I'd get to greet the winner onstage, and then talk into the mic for 10 minutes to 450 souls about how hypnosis can help a person, and why it is such a good prize.

So I will be a prize in charity raffles, just to get my name out.
