Dear Members, Guests, and Friends,
TM Marie launched us off with denouements around Labor Day.
We discovered that...
* TM Randolph is searching for the balance between sacrifice and priorities - now that Back to School is in full swing.
* Guest Miki is looking for her dream job in Japan - torn and confused between food and drinks, IT or school management. What will be the denouement?
* TM BeckyJo's work advice is "Show Up, Be on Time, Put Your Stuff Away and the only wrong question is the one you don't ask.
* TM Ricardo's first work experience led to his penchant for the French words which bring about happy denouements.
* TM Jose changed industries several times and in all of them made long and lasting friendships from all walks of life.
* TM Tom developed the brilliant skill of keeping his mouth shut. That was a result of common sense and situational awareness. He Won Best Tasble Topics Award.
* TM Pam's 2023 Summer Highlight is in the works, includes ripping out torpedo grass in her yard and the EarlyBirds 60th anniversary.
* DTM Jim D will ride his bike on Labor Day and work (for free) on his Honey Do List.
And then came the prepared speeches...
* TM Aleta has joined Area 13, 14, 15, 16 as Contest Master and Area Director and is determined to win this thing together - first by organizing the contest in 2024, in direct contrast to disorganized contests of years past.
* TM Chris showed us how to make money while we sleep. All we need to do is create a website, training videos, YouTube programs, write Books and start blogs, learn HTML, Dream Weaver, Cold Fusion, infusions, Profusions and Delusions, Wordpress and we're all set! Piece of cake! She Won Best Speaker Award.
As far as evaluations....
* DTM Jim disappeared at midpoint into the ethernet and in true team fashion, the eval was concluded by TM Tom. They both agreed TM Aleta has great clarity, which will greatly assist TMI's lack thereof.
* TM Randolph totally enjoyed the superb sound effects of the speech and wishes all teachers used them to convey the message, not the mess. He Won Best Evaluator Award.
The Word of the Day was
DENOUEMENT, noun
The outcome of a situation, when something is decided or made clear.
Example: I waited for the denouement of the story before drawing erroneous conclusions.
By courtesy of our Proxy Voters, the Gs, we watched the First Place speaker at the International Convention. She demonstrated, once again, that you can participate in a Triathalon even if you don't know how to swim or bike by simply focusing on the running portion of it and gesticulating a lot when you tell the Tall Tale. Thanks Jim and Chris!
Our first-time Grammarian, TM Ricardo, came up with the Best Grammar Trophy to TM Tom for most flowery language symbolized by the phrase "I learned to shut my mouth." Ah, the irony of it all!..... Great job, Ricardo!!
Here is the link to the recording....
See you next week!
