Meeting
Roles:
Toastmaster: Tom Alvord ACB,ALB
Invocation: Sheetal Patel inspired us with thoughts
from Mark Twain. She spoke of how we are more disappointed by what we
don’t do than by what we do and told us the best way to cheer ourselves
is to cheer others.
Word Master: Linda Campbell
Word - of - the - Day: malapropism – noun: the humorous
misuse of a word by confusing it with a similar sounding word
Table Topics Master: Elizabeth Landeen
Theme: Her recent road trip inspired a travel
theme.
Bill Sullivan answered the first question
letting us know he thought the ultimate road trip vehicle might be a VW Bus or
a Harley Davidson. Rob Dalo told us that his family plays name that tune,
which is lots of fun in the beginning but the constant changing of the radio
channel gets annoying. Phil shared that he and Cheryl had gone to New Orleans and the food, entertainment and bars
there were great. We heard that if Carolyn Warner was on a trip she would miss
sleeping in her own bed and would miss her little dog Joy. Last, but not least,
Mollie’s dream trip would be off the beaten path – she has no place
in particular in mind but feels she’s on a quest.
