Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
We inducted our newest member, TM Roslyn - Welcome aboard!
TM The Tom gave us a choice between hard topics and easy peasy topics, and guess what we picked...
* I, Ana, am grateful of the alphabet A to J and fully cognizant of the easy peasy life that I enjoy.
* DTM Mary Helen overcame her reluctance to physical activity and became a runner and is now a walker.
* TM Jose asserts people can change on their time, not anyone else's. He quit smoking, moved to Spain and regained spirituality - not necessarily in that order.
* TM Jim G. has a fantastic wife and hence also has a fantastic life. The secret is Stayin' Alive (sung to the tune of Stayin' Alive by the Gree Gees)
* TM Roslyn worked hard to chase the close - money, property, prestige. Now she has slowed down and finds time to smell the flowers.
* TM Marie has nothing to stop her from getting what she wants and she's grateful for unplanned blessings of yesterday - dancing impromptu with husband Guy right in front of the dinner casserole bubbling on the stovetop. She Won Best TAble Topics Award.
Along came the prepared speeches...
* TM Gail used multiple communication styles while discharging her duties as a Catholic Diocese High School Principal - addressing the elephant in the room - how to pronounce plural diocesiseseses.... She Won Best Speaker Award.
* TM BeckyJo, consummate storyteller, who is self-banned from bookstores, lived an adventure read in a book while at Hanahau'oli School in Makiki Street, Honolulu, and leading 3 classmates to learn to live in a tree in the Makatuki Mountains while hitchhiking in the opposite direction and running into Principal Gail West. She Won Best Speaker Award.
As far as evaluations are concerned...
* TM Randolph is fascinated by TM Gail's rich life while dancing at a Salsa Party with her Cuban guidance counselor and would recommend more vocal variety while singing "My Hips Don't Lie"...
* DTM Mary Helen praised TM BeckyJo's passionate, creative tale of escapism in the jungles of Hawaii and suggested BeckyJo play around with her camera so she can make eye contact with her audience during storytelling. She Won Best Evaluator Award.
