Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
Today is St. Joseph's Day and Father's Day in Spain (and Italy). The invocation was in his honor.
TM Pam led us to table topics about seasons, since tomorrow is the Vernal Equinox. We were amazed to discover that...
* TM Gail is kerfuffled by Daylight Savings Time and finds that Greenwich Mean Time is really mean.
* TM David tries to find equilibrium between his body and spirit - our mission in life. Equinox = Equilibrium...
* TM Jorge likes laundry for spring cleaning and is training his son soon-to-be his laborer (as soon as he turns 4 years of age).
* TM Aleta is doing Swedish Death Cleaning and everything in between to the tune of "Let It Go" from the movie Frozen...
* TM Veronica does not do New Year's Resolutions for the Persian New Year (Nowraz) or Lady Day in Europe, she makes daily resolutions instead...
* TM Cristina misses the seasons in Florida although she's learning to detect their subtleness by ordering pumpkin lattes in Fall and daiquiris in Summer. She Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Jose is planning his summer trip to Switzerland and most importantly, mapping all the electric car charging stations along the Route Napoleon....
We had (2) interesting prepared speeches...
* TM Marie delighted us with a thought-provoking speech about cutting out the excessive selfies and focusing more on others, before we miss any more opportunities and learn to be present now.
* I, Ana, told the story of one of our eccentric pioneers, Henry Flagler, who built the Florida Railroad and was the successor of the Paris Folies Bergere by naming it "Flager Follies".... I Won Most Improved Speaker Award.
Regarding evaluations...
* TM Jorge praised TM Marie for her good hand gestures in spite of zoom restrictions and good pauses but please don't say thank you at the beginning of the speech. He Won Best Evaluator Award. Go Jorge!
* TM David found my speech educational but suggested I imagine that Henry Flager was Cuban and put more passion into it, and stop reading the notes, parbleu!
The Word of the Day was
KERFUFFLE, noun
Commotion, fuss, noisy argument, chaos
Example: Several members expressed a craving for a kerfuffle with whipping cream.
We had the pleasure of the visit of our District Director, Rachel B., who said our Club is a lot of fun - and no kerfuffle.
Here's the link to the recording...
See you next week!
Ana I.
