Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
We had a heartfelt invocation in the Christian tradition by TM Manny.
TM Jim G. thanked the outgoing panel of officers for their service and formally welcomed the new panel of officers:
President - TM Aleta
VP Ed - TM Ana
Treasurer - DTM Jim D.
VP Membership - DTM Mary Helen
VP Public Relations - TM BeckyJo
Secretary - TM Terri
Sargeant - at - Arms - TM Jim G.
TM Chris led us in personal table topics about our likes. We found out that...
* TM Terri played Old Maid as a child but much, much prefers dancing salsa and bachata to her heart's delight.
* TM Paolo likes driving if he has good sales results and while transporting a carload of screaming children in the Italian countryside. He Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Manny will do any chore in the house except cooking - but he definitely signs up for tasting and eating the end result!!
* TM Gail loooves to sing since she was a child and once sang a solo in front of Rev. Billy Graham and a congregation of 2,000.
* TM Jarrett likes to have house guests, except when they make loud clanging noises as his current one does but he's looking forward to his Mom joining in the external firework noises for the 4th of July.
* TM Aleta has grown to like giving speeches, inspired by our buddy Kip and mapping every speech to a specific project. She is a woman on a Pathways mission!
Along came two excellent prepared speeches...
* TM Jose inspired some of us to become nomads like him and select travel destinations where food is of the essence (ie Basque Country in the Spanish Pyrenees).
* TM Marie awed us with her very descriptive language of love expressed to her little granddaughter while riding the ocean waves. She Won Best Speaker Award.
As far as evaluations go...
* TM Aleta praised TM Jose for his professional slides, his listenable voice and his ability to inspire us to become travel gourmet nomads.
* TM Jarrett was exhilarated with TM Marie's wealth of descriptive language and heartfelt command as a wordsmith. He Won Best Evaluator Award.
TM BeckyJo General Evaluated the meeting with outstanding powers of improvisation while keeping track of gonnas.
