Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
Contest Chair Marie and Chief Judge Pam proved to be a dynamic contest duo and led us smoothly into the morning...
Test Speaker TM Dori discovered that touching people is her forte, and she put on her own glass slipper with crocheted socks, no Prince required, thankyouverymuch. Thank you, TM Dori, for inspiring us to take up crochet...
We had some powerful evaluators:
* TM Chris fully related to the speech as she, too, discovered her true passion and made a career out of it (in between cruises). She Won Second Place Evaluator.
* DTM Mary Helen praised TM Dori for having found her passion and asserting herself in compliance with workplace safety.
* TM Paolo encouraged TM Dori to be more energetic and passionate delivering her passion with excellent pace, pitch and projection and please skip mentioning intro and conclusion. He Won First Place Evaluator. Congratulations, Paolo!
* TM Randolph was completely inspired by TM Dori's phrase "Your passion is fundable" and is adding it to his lists of motivational quotes.
I, Ana, led the group in Winter Wonderland table topics. Who knew that....
* TM Jose classifies his New Year's Eve Celebrations in ascending order by wildest, wilder, wild, barely make it to midnight to eat the grapes.
* TM Terri will be roasting eggplant in her chimney, courtesy of her son The Chef. EarlyBirds are coming over to partake, for sure!
* TM Gail, a native Floridian, has not had a snowball fight or even dreamed of one, but a brief stint in Albany has made her a Florida heat fan.
* TM Dori went once to the Christmas Boat Parade but did not engage in any bruhaha, although she and her friend were driven home as a precaution.
* TM Chris's idea of a Christmas Spectacular is kayaking down the Fort Lauderdale canals singing Christmas Carols. She Won Best Table Topics Award.
* DTM Mary Helen loves substituting ice cream for lack of snowflakes and had a memorable Sober New Year's Eve Party when the moon was in the seventh house and Jupiter lined with Mars.
Our Test Speaker TM Dori introduced us to the Word of the Day
BRUHAHA, noun
Noisy, disorderly confusion
Example: Ice skating in a frozen lake may lead to cracks in the ice and lots of unnecessary bruhaha. We Floridians prefer artificial rinks.
Date to Remember:
Next week, December 12, is our Club Table Topics Contest.
DTMs Mary Helen and Jim D. are hosting a Christmas Spectacular at their home on December 18 from 5 to 9 pm. More details to follow.
