May 11, 2024: Mothers

” I’ve fallen in love with my mom in a big way. She’s been dead for twenty years.” Intriguing and moving opening sentence by Toastmaster Bill on this Mothers’ Day weekend. The word of the day was ” proponent”, Lori presented the only speech of the meeting: A love letter to Seattle. Table topics were all about mothers, of course! Mothers and their funny -sometimes forceful- wisdom such as: ” To succeed in life, you need three things: a wish bone, a backbone and a funny bone( Reba McIntyre) or ” I don’t mind if you pee in the shower but you have to take a shower!” ( March Simpson)

Congratulations to Nelson and Bethany on being Grammarian and Table Topics Master for the very first time!!!

Our next meeting is May 18th.

What do Mauritius Island, fashion design, Vaclav Havel, Poutine and the Emerald City have in common? Me! All these ways have led me to ( drum roll...) the Seattle Sunrise Toastmasters where friends and great speakers are made! I look forward to sharing my stories with you!
