Hello,
It was an intimate night tonight, with only 7 members and one guest present. Two members who had roles no-showed. So, some of us wore many hats.
Our SAA, Keith Schroeder had the room in order when we arrived. He welcomed us and we pledged our allegiance. Paul Johnson, our acting president, was unable to attend. Deborah Hill acted as President and welcomed our guest, Lee (who will give an ice breaker next week). Linda Love was our Toastmaster. The roles were
GE: Deborah Hill
GR: Kelly Vandever
Timer: Bill Hosken
Camera Person: Keith Schroeder (filmed himself)
Our speakers were:
Keith Schroeder gave an energetic speech on the “Colon End Parenthesis” and the terrors of the age of technology. This speech was acutely punctuated by Keith hammering his cell phone to bits. (or so it seemed)
Deborah Hill spoke on how you may be your own worst obstacle. She explained how your beliefs define you and your life. She gave three examples of limiting beliefs and story-backed truths that refute them. Her last line was popular: “Your beliefs define you. You can choose what you believe. Choose wisely.”
Merrilee Morris swept us through the generations with her very clever ice breaker speech. We learned about her past as she discussed her prodigy and significant aspects of the generations that they spanned – which was all of them.
Our break was well stocked with all sorts of goodies. However, a decision was made concerning future breaks. We will now only serve finger food. No one wants to cart the big box of stuff around, and with good reason. We’ll have plates, serving spoons and napkins. So bring only small stuff that can be eaten by hand. Also, all food will go home with the members, or be thrown away.
Merrilee Morris will head up our party organization, which will be held at Vicki Willard’s home on Dec. 16 at 5:30 pm. It will be a potluck. Merrilee will contact you to see what you want to bring.
We ended on time and everyone pitched in on the clean-up.
I will be out-of-town next week. It would be nice to have a volunteer newsletter person when I’m gone. Any takers?
My Best,
Deborah Hill
Secretary
