Got your number? 123456 And Me, Church Fun Raisers - a conversant morning at Early Birds!!

 


Dear Members, Guests, and Friends,

 

TM Pam took us down memory lane with numbers.  We found out that…

 

  • TM Jim G. stated that the ancient Speed Dial saved his life.  And what’s a landline anyway?
  • TM Lois did not really liked multiplication but it taught her to become a dexterous finger counter.
  • TM Aleta is thoroughly enjoying Senior Perks and frantically trying to grow her IRA Contra account before those pesky distributions prevail.
  • TM Scott reminisced about rotary phones and his favorite subjects of recess and lunch, and forgot all about the worldwide liters versus Fahrenheit USA.
  • TM Chris pondered about what balancing a checkbook is – what’s a checkbook anyway?  Thank heavens for online banking and QuikShooks, one thing less she has to teach dummies.
  • I, Ana, took a bite out of everybody else’s topics and informed the group that my next vacation will be a faraway one to the other side of my backyard and pool.   I Won Best Table Topics Award.

 

Along came the Distinguished prepared speeches…

 

  • DTM Mary Helen revels in Jackie Screecher books which led her to find a cold first cousin twice removed, who reminded her of her aunt Rosalyn A-Flurry, who died at 104 in Albuquerque.  She Won Best Speaker Award.
  • DTM Kip found a fun raiser project, sought the guidance committee and is heavily immersed in a relationship stressor of approvals and disclaimers.   All in the name of … his Church??  No!!  Parbleu!!! All in the name of Pathways….!!

 

As far as evaluations were concerned…

 

  • TM Carmine praised DTM Mary Helen’s subtlety and proved, once again, that he is not conversant with time management by blatantly blowing timing restrictions by about 5 minutes… or kilometers??  Or degrees Celsius???
  • TM Tom liked DTM Kip’s exquisite taste in finding an expert guidance committee of which Tom is one of the two members.  He Won Best Evaluator Award by a landslide.

 

The Word of the Day was

 

CONVERSANT, adj.

Familiar or knowledgeable about something.

 

Example:  Grandma got run over by a raindeer walking home from my house Christmas Eve and became conversant with pop music.
