Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
First-timer TM Veronica led us with an inspiring invocation - go TM Veronica!
TM Aleta presented choices of some of our favorite things ...
* TM Christine got caught dancing in the rain in Poland, where nobody knows her and she did not care what anyone thought of her.
* TM Veronica goes on vacation to tropical places during rainy season - less expensive and less crowded - and she gets caught in the rain quite often. She Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Jorge once rode a Tennessee horse which was described as a compliant, obedient horse and turned out to have a will and a gallop of his own!
* TM David was not familiar with schnitzel - although thanks to Mr. Google, we are all now experts in schnitzel - and likes to go swimming in his pool when it's raining. No lightning or thunder, please!
* TM The Tom avoids blue satin sashes lest they get in his eyelashes, so he guesses but no messes with girls in white dresses.
* I, Ana, have not been bitten by a dog - mostly because I avoid them- or stung by a bee although they proliferate in swimming pools in Madrid.
And then came our prepared speeches...
* TM BeckyJo revisited her near-death experience as a passenger in Simonetta's reckless driving to Miami, to Naples and almost to the next world... Ah la bella Italia!!
* TM Marie shared a heart-rendering visual story of Sammy Miami, who lived a privileged life and crossed the rainbow arch leaving loving memories behind. She Won Best Speaker Award.
As far as evaluations go...
* TM Jorge loved TM BeckyJo's speech, her energy, the way she acts her speech and he suggested that next time, she face the camera and her audience. He Won Best Evaluator Award.
* TM The Tom, a cat person himself, was deeply touched by TM Marie's experience parting with a beloved pet.
TM Christina excelled as a first-time Toastmaster - go TM Christina!
