Colors, Cultures and Commitment - an ebullient morning at EarlyBirds!






Dear Members, Guests and Friends,

TM Gail started us off with a heartfelt invocation, and TM Pam followed with an ebullient joke.

TM Gail introduced us to thinking about colors.... We discovered that...

* TM Jose recognizes pink is not his favorite color for himself, but he once attended a great concert by Pink and he relished cotton candy, a precursor to diabetes.
* TM Aleta marvels at the orange dusks in Western Pennsylvania, which she attributes to the reflection from the green trees that line the scenery.
* TM Veronica reminisced about drinking beer in high school -ooops, college- a song blue, a restaurant near home called Blue Moon... She Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Christina loves purple and is reminded of medieval times, royalty and it was definitely her favorite color when she was growing up....
* TM Pam quoted that "Nature's First Green is Gold" by Robert Frost, green bananas and jumped over to her daughter's wedding cake sprinkled in purple,

Along came our prepared speeches...

* TM BeckyJo talked about 100-year-old black eggs (yuk but survivable), gross alligator tips and Dutch worst candy in the world - liquorice on steroids. "If you can't travel the world, make the world come to you." She Won Best Speaker Award.
* TM Marie refreshed our memories about keeping the commitment we made when we joined Toastmasters, and use the precious Crib Sheets to learn and grow fulfilling different roles.  If It's not fun, it's not Toastmasters!

As far as evaluations go...

* TM Jose praised TM BeckyJo's speech delivery, voice fluctuations, ebullience and humor, and related to surviving eating 100-year-old eggs.  
* TM Aleta thoroughly enjoyed TM Marie's educational speech and encouraged her to use more voice variations in pitch and volume.  She Won Best Evaluator Award.

The Word of the Day was

full of energy and cheerful
