Dear Members, Friends and Guests,
TM Aleta started us off with an inspirational invocation from Charles Swindall titled "Attitude", which set a beautiful mood for the meeting.
I, Ana, led us in Table Topics regarding "This and That"... We soon learned that...
* TM Ricardo is a fearless daredevil whose next adventures will include climbing a mountain, swimming across the Mediterranean from Denia to Ibiza - all in one week!
* DTM Christine is finally discarding her 1970s granny dresses and settling for hot pants and fluorescent eyeshadow!
* TM Jose is a music legend in his own mind and enlisted EArlyBird members to be his groupies at his home music studio playing the Top Forty Hits. He Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Aleta, whose motto is "If It's To Be, It's Up To Thee", states that her favorite old-time saying is "Right on, Brother"
* TM Emmanuel does not remember the strangest dream he ever had but he knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was indeed strange.
* Guest Miki finds that Japan's national motto needs to be "Smile - It won't kill you" because her compatriots are annoyingly serious and suspicious of those who smile, like Miki! The Imperial Royal Family has been notified of her campaign instructions.
* TM Jim has no guilty pleasures, just a lot of pleasures that are not guilty - no nuances there!
We had 2 fantabulous guest speakers today:
*TM Giyora taught us that countries may be enemies, governments may be hostile to each other, but individuals are much the same and can co-exist peacefully, much like cats and dogs - sometimes. Good luck in the contest! He Won Best Speaker Award.
* DTM Lois, our District Director, told us about our District and where do we belong. She inspired us to lead and introduced us to the Bahamas Convention Contest Master, a happy loggerhead turtle swimming in her virtual background. She Won Best Speaker Award, too!
And then came evaluations...
* TM Tom absolutely loved TM Giyora's universal message of brotherhood among cats and dogs and is suggesting an Urban Outfitters casual top for the contest.
* TM Marie thinks DTM Lois needs to go into the construction business and make grand experiments with test balloons. She Won Best Evaluator Award.
The Word of the Day was
NUANCE, noun or verb
A subtle difference of shade or meaning
Give nuance to...
The effect of a word is nuanced by the tone of voice.
DTM Lois commended EarlyBirds for having won President's Distinguished Club for 59 consecutive years, and then she executed her LLL 3 (listen, learn and leave), as preparations are underway to celebrate a Hybrid 60th Club Anniversary on September 16. Check our website for more information and to sign up to participate!
Safe travels, TM Chris and Jim G., as you represent us at the Reef Convention By Proxy next week.

See you next Thursday!
