Justin K stepped in as President to start our morning meeting.
Brett was our Toastmaster of the day and shared his perspective of how challenging it can be to catch a moment in time. He suggested we may want to seize the day instead by making the most of the present moment.
Shout out to Jimmy for his role as Sergeant at Arms for doing a stellar job of putting up signage and keeping us in order. He also had the role as an evaluator.
Bo was our Grammarian and introduced her word of the day Momentous. She was our umm and ahh counter and made suggestions to be mindful when using singular vs. plural nouns and using the correct tense of verbs.
Paula kept us on time with her role as the Timer
Dave was our first speaker, and he gave a humorous speech on “Land Mines”, in reference to having to scoop poop in his family’s back yard. He told his story with gestures, jumping, and funny facial expressions as he weaved his descriptive story and used his voice and body for emphasis.
Jovica burst onto the stage portraying Davy Crockett wrestling a bear and took immediate command of the scene as he explained how to keep bears away from people and people’s food away from bears. His song and dance “the bare necessities” brought down the house with wild applause.
Moises, a guest speaker told a fascinating story of a road trip vacation he took as a child that left him with quite an impression of purposeful happiness. Invest in who and what matters most. Celebrate life!
Saher graciously gave an impromptu speech on how music fills us with emotion and is as important to our survival as our physical needs of food, water, shelter, a mate, and caring for our babies and each other.
Landon was our Table Topics master and asked about moments in time. One example was, “if you could only keep your old memories but not make any new ones, or make new memories but not remember your prior ones, which paradigm would you choose?”.
Justin was the general evaluator for the day.
