What a great evening we had. The theme was lessons children/ friends/ parents teach us. Past president George Nichol wowed us all with his skills as chairperson. He had interesting introductions for everyone and even shared a few jokes.
We welcomed George Stevers as a guest this evening, he was introduced by Keith Stoltz. George is a farmer and “enjoys” fixing farm equipment!
Keith M. was toast and timer- for some reason he really seems to enjoy keeping us all on time!
Jessica Kelly entertained us with literary corner, mentioning how little children can teach us lessons on what and when to eat. Sharon Diehl gave us the word Sapience which is a noun and means deep wisdom or knowledge. It was used several times throughout the meeting.
Sharon D’Arcey presented speech #3 in her CC manual “To be a Kid Again”. Her mentor Diane Bender was the evaluator. She was very impressed with the sapience of Sharon’s speech. It was persuasive entertaining and inspiring.
Jane Stoltz used her vacation experiences to entertain us with her speech “Waves”. A tsunami advisory in New Zealand had most people scrambling to higher ground – but not the Stoltz’s. Jane described how her husband Keith thought it would be safe to get to the top of the house they were staying in and then view the pandemonium with binoculars! Audrey Orth evaluated Jane with lots of glow points.
Brian Camacho led table topics- he even gave us choices. Winner was Jessica Kelly.
Keith Stoltz evaluated the meeting with many glow points and even some suggestions to make our meetings better in the future.
We congratulated Rhea Longman on her acceptance to Redeemer College and we were excited to learn that she had earned a leadership scholarship as well! Way to go Rhea.
