Chamber plans Black and White Gala BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com
SMOKEY POINT — Those who want to attend the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce’s 10th annual Black & White Gala at the Medallion Hotel on Saturday, Sept. 21, only have until Tuesday, Sept. 17, to RSVP for the event. Chamber Vice President Julie Morse aims to generate as much as $15,000 through this year’s fundraising gala,
after last year’s event raised close to $10,000. “The economy and attendance are the two key factors in determining how well a fundraiser will do, I think,” Morse said. “When people have extra money, they’re more likely to spend it, and last year alone, I think we saw a sign of an absolutely tremendous change in the economy, in terms of people’s generosity. Between this and the builders who are building again, many of whom hadn’t

built anything since 2008, I think our economy has really turned a corner.” Morse promised that those who do purchase $65 tickets in advance (none will be available at the door) will be treated to an elegant evening of served plate dinners with a champagne reception and light entertainment, in addition to silent and live auctions, the latter emceed by Kelly Lee and offering trips to Ocean Shores and Mexico. “It’s black tie optional, and women are welcome to wear cocktail dresses, but this is one of the few events in Arlington that allows people to really dress up,” Morse said. “Please come out to support this event, since the money you spend will go right back into the community.” The champagne reception and silent auction will run from 5:30-6:30 p.m., and the live entertainment will coincide with the dinner by starting at 7 p.m. From there, the live auction will kick off at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for a raffle for an 16 GB WiFi iPad 2 Tablet are $10 at the Chamber offices at 4126-B 172nd St. NE in Arlington.

SMOKEY POINT — Certified hypnotherapist Scott Whippo was welcomed to the community during a ribbon-cutting on Saturday, Aug. 24, by Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert at the office for his new practice, Greyhall Hypnotherapy, which shares space with the ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce offices. Whippo had previously provided his hypnotherapy services to friends and other clients for the past couple of years, in areas ranging from weight loss to sports performance and even test improvement, all of which he identified as sharing a common factor. “It’s about stress reduction,” Whippo said. “My youngest son Nicholai was stressed about a math test for Western Washington University, but with my help, he blew it out of the water.” Whippo hastened to add that all hypnosis is essen-
tially self-hypnosis, and that he merely guides his patients through the process of reaching the places where they want to be. “There are reasons why we overeat, or engage in other behaviors, that we don’t really think about,” Whippo said. “What I do is bring you into contact with those reasons, so that when you understand why you’re doing something, you can negate it.” Likewise, Whippo identified certain difficulties in sports performance as stemming from negative emotional states that prevent athletes from believing in themselves and achieving their full potential. “If you try too hard, you’ll just stress yourself out more and set yourself up for failure, so the key is to just relax and enjoy and understand what you’re doing,” Whippo said. “What I provide is the trigger that lets you realize what you’re capable of doing.” In Whippo’s experience, 10 percent of the population
is extremely susceptible to hypnotic suggestion, while another 10 percent is very difficult to get through to, so the remaining 80 percent falls somewhere in the middle. “I feel really lucky to be here,” Whippo said of the offices that he and fellow Greyhall certified hypnotherapist Gabriele Guenther will share with the Chamber. “Everybody comes to the Chamber, so it’s really good of them to help us set up here.” “I’ve know Scott for quite some time,” said Tolbert, who described Whippo as active in his community on behalf of others. “His offices are conveniently located, and it’s great that he can help people make life adjustments.” Greyhall Hypnotherapy is located at 4126-B 172nd St. NE in Arlington, and is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesdays through Thursdays by appointment.
