Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
TM Pam led us with a New Year inspirational invocation.
I, Ana, introduced some date-specific Table Topics. We found out that...
* TM Christina knows vaguely about Pete Repeat Galileo Galilei and loves to watch the stars at night much like he did.
* TM Jose reminisced about the Who's deaf guitarist who wildly swung his arm to the tune of My Generation.
* TM Aleta honors National Blood Donor Month by eating all the rare steaks she can get her canines on. High cholesterol? Who cares... she's now complying with the new food pyramid!
* TM Veronica went scuba diving with a deaf and blind group who used Braille and sign language under the ocean blue.
* TM BeckyJo practiced the art of the pivot by telling us about her blind friend who had a large-Braille Bible. She Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Jorge used to love country, rock, heavy rock, R&B music but now cherishes silence in the car.
Along came the prepared speeches...
* TM The Tom inspired us to stop procrastinating, step out of the cocoon of safety, get unstuck from sameness, face the fear and transform ourselves by acting 'as if'. He Won Best Speaker Award.
* TM Pam enrolled a few EarlyBirds to join her central Florida Bloom and Grow Garden Society - it sounds like great fun!!
Regarding Evaluations...
* TM David praised The Tom's great shirt and great background and suggested more pauses and more hand gestures - but keep asking questions of the audience for total engagement.
* TM Christina marveled at how TM Pam handled technical glitches, with equanimity, professionalism and blooming where she was planted. She Won Best Evaluator Award.
The Word of the Day was
PROCRASTINATE, verb
To delay or postpone doing something.
Example: "Taylor Swifties are those who do not procrastinate."

See you next week!
