Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
DTM Mary Helen started us off with iffy situations we encountered in life. We found out that...
* TM Jose tried to steal a vinyl (formerly known as LP) as a budding teen, got caught and learned his lesson - wait 6 months for the coveted LPs to reach the Spanish market. He Won Best Table Topics Award.
* I, Ana, was usually the one to get others in trouble to cover up for lying to my unsuspecting parents.
* TM Gail the pilot learned to make flight plans and adhere to the ETA, except this morning when she broke her lifetime rule - but made it anyway!
* TM Christine prayed over a newly-minted police officer and ended up being hauled away in handcuffs. The twists and turns of life...
* Guest David's first car was a Honda Civic and remains forever in his heart, especially the coveted sunroof.
* TM Jorge took a wrong direction by stealing school supplies as a youngster but quickly corrected course at the sight of his father's timely appearance.
* TM BeckyJo saw her ex-partner's theft in the books and sadly what was seen cannot be unseen so her goal for 2025 is to pursue legal action and get her money back!
We had an outstanding ICEBREAKER today...
* TM Cory engaged the audience with TM questions and as a data analyst encouraged us all to join one of 182 lifetime La Vie cruises that will accommodate 56% of female Toastmasters and 44% of male Toastmasters. The data analysis conclusion is 0% privacy for the Gulds. He Won Best Speaker Award.
* TM Pam backed with data the fact that she's smart, educated, charming, creative and she comes from a long line of educated, charming, creative and smart family members. From doing it her way she transformed into leaning onto others to make life easier.
Then came evaluations...
* TM Chris praised TM Cory for his creative Icebreaker which, truthfully impressed everyone with his personalized statistics. She Won Best Evauator Award.
* TM The Tom related to TM Pam's opulent arrogance as a boss but age has a way of humbling us.
The Word of the Day was
OPULENT, adj.
Rich, luxurious, lavish
We at EarlyBirds like opulent - and succulent - lunches and dinners!
First-time Grammarian TM Jorge brought us a fantastic Word of the Day and captured the rich language used by our members. Way to go, TM Jorge!
