Chamber Extravaganza: Food, Wine, & High Tech
"It’s going to be wonderful," says
C. Ellen Hodges of this year’s Princeton Chamber trade fair
and expo, set for Thursday, August 31, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the
Doral Forrestal. "We try to change a little bit every year,"
she says. "Last year we had a little art gallery, and this year
we are having food sampling along with the wine and beer tasting."
The line-up:
minute interviews and cuts the ribbon to open the expo at 11 a.m.
export assistance center, speaks at 10 a.m.
speaks on "Tale of Two Start-Ups" at the 11:30 a.m. membership
luncheon (cost: $28 for non-members). See story, page 58, for details
on his latest move.

have a page on the "Virtual Business Trade Fair" at the
chamber
website. The deal includes one page, a link to the company’s own
website,
and an E-mail link, at www.princetonchamber.org
The glass-encased room (the "Tree House") over the swimming
pool has been reserved for community service associations and will
be most visible at lunchtime. "We generally allow one organization
to have a table at each luncheon, and since the Tree House will be
empty, we decided we could accommodate more," says Hodges.
SCORE will offer on-the-spot business advice, and also in this
location
will be tables for the Historical Society of Princeton, New Jersey
Blood Services, the Red Cross, the Stony Brook Millstone Watershed
Association, two Rotary clubs, the SERV center, Mercer County
College’s
international center, Big Brothers and Sisters, Atlantic Publishing
(publishers of the chamber’s directory, and Papier Photographic Studio
(the chamber’s photographer).
The trade fairs in Princeton began more than 20 years ago. "We
started the trade fair during the energy crisis to show people how
they could conserve energy," says Hodges. "It was at West
Windsor-Plainsboro High School, and we learned that the university
was doing an energy show. We joined forces with them. After a couple
of energy fairs, we moved to the home show, and then to the trade
fairs, where we could showcase our members."
For a list of the exhibitors, see the listingsthat beginn on page
50. Everything except the luncheon is free, and no preregistration
is needed. But bring more business cards than you think you will need,
because the list of door prizes is impressive. For information call

Your John Hancock: Key to your Future?
Every person’s handwriting is a blend of nature and
nurture. The way you sign your name, says Renee Martin, is your
public persona, the face you would like everyone to see. But
the handwriting you use on a quick memo — that could indicate
how or whether you will be successful in business.
Martin, an internationally known handwriting analyst, will do two
one-hour stints of on-the-spot analysis at the Princeton chamber trade
fair on Thursday, August 31, starting at 2 p.m.
Give her a signature and a "taken unawares" sample of
handwriting,
and she can discern such traits as organizational skills, ease of
handling problems, general intelligence, subjectivity, fairness —
and trustworthiness.
Raised in Brooklyn, the daughter of an upholsterer and a seamstress,
Martin grew up studying the handwriting columns that were then in
vogue in New York’s daily newspapers. After graduating from high
school
in 1946 and starting a family (she’s the mother of four grown
children),
Martin joined the American Graphological Society in 1955 and later
became certified with the American College of Forensic Examiners.
Her first book "Your Script is Showing," was a serious but
readable approach to handwriting analysis that gave Martin her first
public exposure. In 1960 Martin hung out her own shingle. In the early
1970s she set up her office at 20 Nassau Street. In 1979, she
co-founded
the National Association of Document Examiners.
Her analysis reveals few mysteries and very few earth-shaking traits,
she notes. "Your script will not uncover you as a secret child
molester or predict love in your future. It will show if you are
writing
under duress. But whether it’s because you were stoned on crack or
had a pistol to your forehead, remains securely with you."
Still, in a short time she can read in 15 minutes "a poignant
tendency" that might take years to unfold through traditional
methods. Sensitivity, for instance, shows in a fine pointed hand and
light pressure on the page. Curiosity and intelligence show
traditionally
in an egg-shaped letter "g."
In an unusual exercise for U.S. 1, Martin did a blind test to analyze
the scrawl of a handful of Princeton personalities ("Tales from
the Script," by Bart Jackson, U.S. 1, March 11, 1998). Two of
the handwriting samples she analyzed had connections to the Princeton
Chamber: C. Ellen Hodges, the director, and Katherine
Kish,
this year’s chamber president.
"A true people person," said Martin of Hodges, "this
writer
hides behind her sensitivity by being there for everyone and
disguising
her natural shyness by covering all aspects of anything on which she
concentrates. This writer is highly artistic and musical, and never
allows her temperament to take hold of any situation in which she
is involved. Balancing her idealism with everyday practicality is
her stock in trade.
"To those who look no further, this writer is a gem who completes
her part of any situation intelligently and as perfectly as is humanly
possible. She is highly articulate, enjoying the average conversation
with all types. She also knows how to recast the facts to the best
advantage of all involved."
Martin also happened to scrutinize the signature of Katherine
Kish,
partner in Market Entry (a marketing firm), and the current chamber
president.
"If I were to select someone to edit and oversee the proper
completion
of tasks, I would choose this person," was Martin’s judgment.
"An intelligent, alert individual who is not afraid of hard work
and enjoys a mental challenge as well as a physical one, this writer
allows emotional involvement to rule activities. In most situations,
this is a patient person, not being afraid of working towards a goal,
either individually or with a group. There are periods of impatience,
however, and the drive to do something meaningful is uppermost in
this person’s thinking. Most impatience is evident when something
material is in the offing — she wants it yesterday! Good sense
often prevails, however and she will patiently go through all the
steps necessary to make the desired goal a fact.
"Her signature is like the rest of her writing except for giving
the impression of great self-confidence, which the rest of her writing
does not reflect. This is not to imply that she is a shrinking violet,
just that in order to impress others with her abilities, she feels
she must do more self-promotion than she really enjoys."
