Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
We inducted our returning TM Christine formally into our Club. Welcome back, Christine!
TM Marie launched us on a glimmer of resilience. We discovered that...
* TM Christine's heroic effort consisted of getting a degree in Oxford at midlife while doing standup comedy with a British accent.
* TN The Tom is "the comeback kid" - overcame a health hardship and turned into a fish in a glimmering pond.
* TM Aleta overcomes adversity day by day, step by step, shovel by shovel, while anticipating a visit from the glimmering Samaritan's Purse. She Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Cory is mastering rising above it, talking when the mind goes blank while envisioning TM Jorge's AH, ER, YOU KNOW screen flashing in his mind's eye.
* Guest Christina converts triggers into glimmers of the day and her family, work and trip to Fairfax and Toronto rank in top relevancy.
* TM Randolph's faith gets him through the challenges of daily life with an unwavering moral code.
* TM Jose likens his life to a chu-chu train with different stops for different folks and is managing the Reservations Desk for visiting friends at his home in Javea, Spain.
Along came our prepared speeches...
* TM BeckyJo regaled us with a sailor's tale of triumph over adversity while proclaiming The Glory of God. She Won Best Speaker Award.
* I, Ana, revealed the little-known story of the origin of our city's name, tracing it back to wee William Wallace, aka Braveheart, aka Mel Gibson, glimmering hero of the Scots.
TM Jose performed as first-time General Evaluator and glimmered steadily throughout...
* TM Cory asked TM BeckyJo to clarify if Boston Whaler and Laser is a marine mammal with a Boston accent and having laser cataract surgery. He Won Best Evaluator Award.
* TM Randolph asked that for the love of Scots, I repeat the speech with a wee bit of humor added to it.
