Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
TM Carmine started us off the inspirational quotes by Maya Angelou, and we discovered that…
- TM Chris tries to be a rainbow in someone’s life, not rain on anyone’s parade, and to sing like a bird- even when caged. She Won Best Table Topics Award.
- Guest TM Roosevelt has realized that love saves all and we’re all more alike than we’re different. He remembers his father’s proud smile when he (Roosevelt) made a great athletic pass as a youngster.
- Returning TM Mildred highlighted that great achievements require time – but most importantly, they require knowledge.
- TM Jeff has worked diligently to achieve work-life harmony – beyond balance – and takes inspiration from Jeff Bezos.
- TM Aleta pointed out that most people don’t show their true colors at first, then followed with a good rendition of Good Golly Miss Molly.
- DTM Jim D., bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at 3:00 am local Anchorage, Alaska time – NOT- recommended we all wear masks to avoid illness.
- TM Jim G. urged everyone to VOTE on November 3 or forever hold your peace.
Then came prepared speeches from two of our beloved TM Titans:
- DTM Kip, ever the rugged individualist, used to be his own counsel and messed up any genuine attempts by others to mentor him. Now older and wiser, he recognizes that rules are meant to be bent, not ignored, and acts accordingly. He Won Most Improved Speaker Award.
- DTM Mary Helen cleverly interwove her personal life when she developed a zest for books. They provided a window into another world. She’s currently in a TM Book Club and they are reading Dale Carnegie’s 1936 all-time best seller “How To Win Friends and Influence People”. Conclusion: back to basics. She Won Best Speaker Award.
As for evaluations….
- TM Pam lauded DTM Kip for turning a corner and delivering a positive speech about mentoring. As a result, she’s all in for the mentoring movement. She Won Best Evaluator Award.
- TM Tom loved the artful way in which DTM Mary Helen interwove her family life and being a book aficionado to her ability to win friends and influence people.
