Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
TM Pam led us with interesting topics revolving around 50, the magic number. We soon found out that...
* DTM Jim D. wants to keep the $50 bill exactly as it is, with Ulysses S. Grant in full mode time travel.
* TM Emmanuel marvels at couples who make their 50th wedding anniversary - that's what life and love is about!
* TM Jim recently experienced the 50s Golden Age of TV by streaming Sea Hunt with Lloyd Bridges on TM Chris's I-watch.
* TM BeckyJo plans to be a fiery redhead at the tender age of 80, vibrant and minus any pesky grays. She Won Best Table Topics Award.
* I, Ana, don't believe in the motto Get Rich Or Die - although I've pretty much lived a comfortable life most of my life, so I'm just spoiled.
* TM Tom is glad he's past 50 because at 50 he didn't know Toastmasters or EarlyBirds and can't fathom life without them.
* TM Aleta voted multiple times for TM Pam to attend her 50th Homecoming College Reunion where everyone will recognize her without having to even wear a name badge.
And then came the prepared speeches...
* TM Paula delighted us with a descriptive self-introduction about her geographic moves and spiritual journey. Excellent icebreaker, Paula!
* DTM Mary Helen relived her anguish at losing her handbag at the start of The Way (El Camino) but finding it thanks to the benefits of the tourism industry. She Won Best Speaker Award.
As far as evaluations go...
* TM Chris was wowed - as were we all- at TM Paula's vocabulary richness which escapes most native-born gringos. Paula's speech encapsulated the essence of her being, the yin and yang. She Won Best Evaluator Award.
* TM Paolo repeatedly asked DTM Mary Helen why didn't she incorporate pizza and lasagna meals on her tale of the Camino? What happened to Italy?? Grazie Tutti, Prego!
We were seniorly confused between the (2) Jims and we swapped people's last names, but other than that, the meeting traveled smoothly.
The Word of the Day was
TRAVEL, noun
go from one place to another, over a distance of some length.
An object that moves, typically in a constant and predictable way.
Example: To travel or to teletransport - Elon, Elon, what musk we do???
Here's the link to the recording
See you next week! Spring Forward on Sunday March 12!
