Linguists of Listowel

Theme: Dog Days of Summer"

George welcomed all members and guests and called the meeting to order. He reviewed the agenda. In his opening comment he mentioned that the dog days of summer are the hot and sultry days between July 3 and August 11. Audrey presented the loyal toast to Canada. Diane read a humorous article about taking a road trip with your family in the heat of the summer.
Marie wrote play and Jane and Keith volunteered to act out the actions and sound effects. Everyone felt it was worthy of an academy performance nomination.
Keith led table topics, with everyone taking an article out of a basket and then having to comment on what their neighbour picked out. Jane was general evaluator and had lots of glow points for this summer meeting.
We had a fun night at George and Marilyn's beautiful house, a show stopper indeed and the dessert was out of this world.
Business meeting followed.
