Dear Members of the Linguists of Listowel:


Hope everyone enjoyed Catching a Rainbow last evening.


Heidi Menzi began our meeting last evening with the inspirational message and did a recap of how rainbows are made. Heidi asked members if anyone had seen three rainbows, keep looking upwards! Brent Jemmett called the meeting to order and introduced Jane as the chair for the evening. Jessica Kelly got everyone relaxed with the joke of the day. George Stevers are newest member tackled his role with loyal toast & timer and did a great job! Our word for the evening was reverie/revery meaning to daydream or lost in thought presented to us by Sharon Diehl. The word was used four times throughout the meeting.
Rhea Longman concluded her very descriptive Part #2 speech from #5 in the CC manual and Leo Brisebois gave a speech from the Humorous Manual entitled Distorted Messages. Written evaluations were given this evening to the speakers.


Elections was chaired by Keith Stoltz and the results are as follows:


President: Brent Jemmett, CC
VP of Education: Jane Stoltz, ATMS
VP of Membership: Keith McCluskie
VP of Public Relations: Sharon D'Arcey
Treasurer: George Nichol, CC
Secretary: Jessica Kelly, CC
Sargeant of Arms: Rich Boertien, CC


Keith McCluskie handled the table topics portion of the evening very well as everyone was given an interesting question to answer. Marilyn Hynes tried to stump the members with quotes used throughout the evening by members. Our award for best table topics went to Audrey Orth. Our meeting concluded with a general evaluation recap of our meeting by Rich Boertien and delicious snacks courtesy of George Nichol were enjoyed by all. Next week's meeting theme on Thursday May 13th is 'What Mother's Teach Us".


Have a great week as you listen, laugh, learn and lead.
