Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
TM Terri led us in a heartfelt, uplifting invocation.
TM Aleta had us wear our thinking caps with thought-provoking topics on various aspects of ETHICS:
* While flying in a helicopter, DTM Jim D. realized that ethical behavior begins at the top, way above bank and tax fraud, amidst the pristine clouds.
* TM Terri refused to be part of a made-up, inflated teacher roster to fake teacher-student ratios in the public school system.
* TM The Tom was that rare specimen, an ethical lawyer, who taught his clients to explore the benefits/burdens of their choices.
* TM Paolo, speaking from his Italian Man Cave, has enough diversity and inclusion with his 6 children, as diverse as they come and insisting on being included!
* TM Ricardo stated that ethical technology is a tricky thing, due to so many unclear workarounds, as witnessed at his last consulting job.
* TM Jose pondered on the consumer changes our children will face in our vertiginous society in order to create nuclear fission with the approval of OPEC after taking a quantum leap. He Won Best Table Topics Award.
Along came the prepared speeches...
* I, Ana, researched and expounded on the beautiful smiles of gringos, due to outstanding dentistry.. We have come a long way from the ivory and gold teeth of our first President George Washington! Brush, slush, gargle, floss - to get rid of the moss. I Won Best Speaker Award.
*, DTM Mary Helen reconfirmed the challenges of following New Year's Resolutions. She has a list of 72 foods to avoid and I personally think if she alphabetizes her list, she'll be able to adhere to her resolutions. Therein lies the solution.
As far as evaluations are concerned..
* DTM Jim enjoyed my speech but asked me, for the umpteenth time, to stop flailing my notes in front of the camera! I just don't listen.
* TM Paolo praised DTM Mary Helen for making an art of preparing for the unprepared and asked her to put more drama into the salutation. He Won Best Evaluator Award..
