Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
TM Pam's Solstice Invocation in memory of DTM Kip started us off.
I, Ana, led with summer-themed table topics. We realized that...
* TM Paolo's favorite summer activity as a teenager was chasing girls, and his favorite summer activity as a father of teenagers is watching the teenagers without blinking.
* TM Marie was spat upon by a large fish in Universal theme park which grossed her out but managed to keep her cool. She Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Tim loves all food but his favorite summer food is eating watermelon near the Ohio River and having seed-spitting competitions with his brother.
* TM Jose's favorite summer song is Alice Cooper's School's Out, school's out for the summer, school's out forever, I'm bored to pieces - and then he chased the girls....
* TM Aleta wore a skimpy itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polkadot bikini... and in the water, she wanted to stay...One, Two, Three, Four, Tell the People What She Wore!
* TM The Tom's favorite summer childhood memory was staying cool with the Maid of the MIst waterfall in Niagara Falls. Oh what a summer that was!
Along came the prepared speeches...
* TM Ricardo shared the sad decline of Argentina as the top country in the world to the 70th - or 140th by some accounts - due to generations of widespread corruption and how the current President, Javier Milei, is attempting to right that ship of state. Viva la Libertad, Carajo!!
* TM Randolph read us a heartfelt letter to his son, where Randolph now has allowed space for his son's dreams to play into his son's life, and he, Randolph, is just a loving father. He Won Best Speaker Award.
Regarding the evaluations...
* TM Aleta praised TM Ricardo for the educational nature of his speech where we learned that a President's hair does not need to be coiffed to decrease inflation and eliminate corruption.
* TM The Tom totally related to TM Randolph's letter to his son and agreed that parenting does not come with a User's Manual. He Won Best Evaluator Award.
The Word of the Day was
FAKE NEWS, noun
False stories that appear as news, spread on internet and other media, and are created to influence political views or intended as a joke.
Example: In this day and age of instant communication and Artificial Intelligence, everything is technically fake news. That's the story - and we're sticking to it!

See you next week!
