The meeting was kicked off by Karen Bott who welcomed me (Leo Brisebois) as the chairperson and she had some guesses on how I spent my summer holidays and she did get 2 out of 3 correct.
We had the introduction of the new officers and presentation of the Handbooks. George had the joke of the day and it was about air conditioning and how the inventors of the air conditioner got there names engraved on all the systems that were installed by Mr. Ford and they went by the names of low, medium, high and max.
Our Toast and Timer Brent Jemmett gave us a recap of his summer reflection and how fortunate we are to be in this great country called Canada. The Grammarian was Valrie Hummel who gave us the word of the week - Doleful. It was used very dolefully throughout the meeting. Heidi Menzi the Literary Corner had a poem for us about a summer in 1988 and how hot it was and how we waited under a shade tree for the heat to pass us by.
We had 2 speakers; Keith Stoltz (who is working on his second C/C project # 5) gave us his summer reflection of cruising with his Red Honda Goldwing down the highway, the second speaker was Audrey Orth (who is also working on her second C/C) gave us her experience being in the wrong place at the wrong time with her new van.
Sharon D'Arcey's (Table Topic Master) topic was summer reflections. She asked us each to speak about our summer adventures, the good and doleful moments. The winner was Valrie who told us about her beaver tail experience in Ottawa. Keith McCluskie and Lorna Vanderploeg, the evaluators, provided glow and grow points for each speaker. Jane Stoltz was our Quiz Master and Laugh Counter. She had some good ones. We had to think about who said what. There were 105 laughs during the meeting, can you imagine?
General Evaluator, Diane Bender gave us a good summary of the meeting along good grow points to bring forward.
We ended the night with snack Thanks to Valrie.
