Dear Members, Returning Members, Friends and Guests,
All the new officers did great on this Inaugural Meeting...
TM BeckyJo presented us with variations of the phrase including Told and Love...
* TM Jim's many admirers wished to tell him that they loved him during the cheese & crackers degustation at last night's sail-away....
* Guest (former Toastmaster) Kim said love is no big deal, our hearts can be broken or they can be filled with joy as she made it to the green light!
* TM Gail pondered why she told only him that she loved him because she definitely had many...
* TM Chris would not tell him she's the only one who loved him - is he not loveable? She must love someone who is loved by all. Otherwise, not a happy situation...
* TM Pam said men are soooo gullible. "You're the one"... ahem. Her sister and brother-in-law will go to separate nursing homes so they can each tell their (truthful) side of every story.... She Won Best Table Topics Award.
Along came (2) fantabulous prepared speeches...
* TM Pam is a proud, independent, apple-pie baking all-American woman. During The Virus, she lost the habit of being social - and is slowly recapturing the essence of what gets things done - interdependence because she is standing on the shoulders of giants - not 1 but 56! 56! Yes, 56!
* TM Chris described her seafaring life where half the time she thinks she's dreaming - stunning views, fresh bouffets, acting in a play, karaoke, line dancing, and zip lining and hiking on port days. It's not for everyone, but it certainly is for TM Jim and her! She Won Best Speaker Award.
As far as evaluations go...
* TM Marie praised TM Pam for the structure of her speech and her clear-cut message that interdependence, not independence, is the name of the game!
* TM Aleta was still transported to halfway round the world -and the South China Sea- with TM Chris' adept use of slides and storytelling tales. She Won Best Evalluator Award.
The Word of the Day was
RIFE, adj
Widespread, prevailing or happening frequently.
Example: The world is rife with line dancers.
