Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
I started us off with Cinco de Mayo topics. We found out that....
* TM BeckyJo has every type of hat except a red hat and a purple dress. She's out buying herself a sombrero right now.
* DTM Mary Helen has multifaceted capes - blankets, pillows, layers- and will acquire a soft Mexican poncho to double up as a bedspread.
* TM Aleta displayed her donkey pinata but will now buy a companion parrot pinata to pay homage to the day.
* DTM Jim D. likes the Arizona cactus flower, a flora variety we now learned thrives in Windermere.
* TM Marie has frequent standoffs with her cat, who has learned to act Mexican and she likes red hot chili peppers to sweat the toxins off. She Won Best Table Topics Award.
* DTM Kip eats chili pepper necklace beads that his wife surreptitiously shoves on his chimichanga entree.
In the area of prepared speeches...
* TM Carmine gave a sentimental icebreaker about the various stages of his life's journey - from the asphalt jungle to a soon-to-be Wandering Monk in a travelling van. He Won Best Speaker Award.
* TM Tom described several leadership types - pragmafist, Stuart Loyalist and diplomatic corps, and only made a brief reference to his cat. He ceded time to DTM Kip to rally the troops for Tall Tales next week.
* TM Scott is descended from a long line of biker dudes and practices self-filming on a motorcycle while swaying in the wind of his Grandfather's Mountain.
As far as evaluations go...
* DTM Kip officially nominated TM Carmine as our Resident Holy Person and made a call to action to zoom in to EarlyBirds to deliver more swan songs.
* TM Carmine encouraged TM Tom to continue honing his skills as a personal, interesting, effective storyteller.
* TM Marie praised the humor in TM Scott's speech about the Gang of Three Biker Brothers and wonders how TM Scott's wife finds time to do anything else besides scanning his life insurance policy. She Won Best Evaluator Award.
The Word of the Day was
APHASIA, noun

See you then,
