Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
TM Pam inspired us with holiday-related quotes. We soon discovered that...
* TM Marie's commemorates Kwanzaa with gratitude for the building of all the bridges in downtown Fort Lauderdale, aka the Venice of America.
* TM Tom gave his Mother a (Cuban?) Christmas Angel he bought in Doral Fables and she later bequeathed it back to him. He Won Best Table Topics Award.
* I, Ana, am convinced that as they teach in Findergarten, sharing is caring.
* TM Chris has loved the stars so fondly that she has been led to frugal tentless camping in mosquito-free zones.
* DTM Mary Helen fills her tree with pictorial ornaments of all her family members because only love can overcome hate.
* TM Paolo stated that whether the night is more alive and richly colored than the day, totally depends on the day.
* TM Val has discovered her invincible summer by asking herself, in the middle of a challenge, what is the gift here? And then proceeding to unwrap it.
* DTM Jim D., raised in chilly Syrafuse, NY, always borrows money in winter, where repayment is due in spring, which in his hometown falls on a Tuesday in August.
* TM Aleta always saves Santa the trip by being naughty in winter, summer, spring and fall. Also, since the advent of Zoom, she hasn't combed her hair in the back.
Along came the prepared speeches...
* TM Manny Metayer reminded us not to let our potential fade in the inertia of time, which is of the presence essence.
* TM Jim G., in full regalia and intelligently assisted by Superficial Sistelligence, had us reminisce about prior visits from St. Nick. He Won Best Speaker Award.
We had outstanding evaluations....
* TM Paolo praised TM Manny for his powerful low pitch, well-timed pauses and clarity. Add Carpe Diem for more power to the speech. He Won Best Evaluator Award.
* TM Tom appreciates the timeless poem which brings joy to our hearts and who cares? Was it authored by Clement Moore, or Dr Livingston - I presume?
Soon-to-be-inducted TM Maria was a first-time timer and did a mighty fine job of timing this time.
The Word of the Day was
IMBUE, verb
To cause someone or something to be deeply affected by a feeling or to have a certain quality.
For example
Enthusiasm will always imbue an endeavor with high-level energy.
