Dear Members and Friends,
What an exciting morning! We inducted our new TM Val into the Club.
We held highly contested Club Elections. After tough campaigns, the following members got elected into the corridors of power: New term begins July 1.
President - TM Randolph
VP Ed - DTM Kip
Secretary - TM Tom
Treasurer - DTM Jim D.
VP Membership - DTM Mary Helen
VP Public Relations - TM Ana
Sargeant-at-Arms - TM Marie
Commemorating Memorial Day, I (Ana) led Table Topics with military quotes on leadership, teamwork, courage and humor. We soon discovered that...
* DTM Jim D. rides the thunder in his bike and is very close friends with FHP.
* TM Val firmly believes that motivation derives strictly from a well-delivered sales pitch. She Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Paolo reminded us that disturbing an erring enemy is like letting fettucini cook in its own water - you stand back and watch.
* TM Marie compared military preparedness to being an Ah Counter.
* TM Randolph expects challenges in the road less travelled from an easy yesterday.
* DTM Kip invoked ceremonial fires as merely advancing in a different direction.
Along came the prepared speeches...
* TM Scott gave us a rubber sided down Part II of his bike ride through Blue Ridge Breweries and liquid loaves of bread. He Won Best Speaker Award.
* TM Tom (aka Zorba the Greek on La Strada) campaigned for Ralph the Tadpole who led us as a bullfrog and confirmed that all change is followed by chaos.
As far as evaluations....
* TM Marie praised TM Scott for exuding enthusiasm, bikes, beer and fun and no cracked ribcages. She Won Best Evaluator Award.
* DTM Kip marveled at how the Tadpole to BullFrog analogy fits into so many organizations.
The Word of the Day was
APEX, noun
Peak of something, highest point of something.
Plural: apexes or apeces
Example: The Apex of an octopus is to join other octopi and avoid becoming fried calamari.

See you next week!
Ana I.
