Them: FACING THE CHALLENGE
Good remarks by our chairperson Jane Stoltz about the challenges we face every day and good quotes to make you stop and think.
This was the third week for our Youth Leadership last night and they both presented another speech. Lexi's speech was entitled "Why I Should Get A Puppy". Caitlyn's speech was entitled "Joan of Arc".
Both Youth Leadership participants are doing great and they have made great strides since the first week.
The word of the day "COWABUNGA" was used 11 times throughout the night and was well presented to everyone. Good job Keith McCluskie!
We had Joke of the Day by Leo Brisebois. Leo also presented a speech about praise for someone’s retirement. Lucy D’Arcey's speech "Character is a Choice" was a very inspirational speech. I always like her speeches as she always give us something to take away with us. Tonight, we all have choices. It’s not what you do that makes the difference, it’s how you respond to it that make all the difference.
We had good inspirational quotes by Jane Stoltz throughout the evening;
"Do the things you think you cannot do".
"Never leave until tomorrow what you can do today".
"Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened".
Doesn’t that make you think? There are a lot of truths in those phrases/quotes.
Toast and Timer by Valrie Hummel was a patriotic toast to all our fallen soldiers and family members that went to war, with some never returning. Good toast!
Marie McCutcheon did an education module on GESTURES and gave us examples using habits the female and male use often that give away their speech.
Table Topics were lead by no other than Lexi and Caitlyn. They worked it out together by explaining their roles and giving out impromptu speaking roles. An example of choices were; Would you prefer being poor or rich and why? Good choice to table topics.
Evaluator George Nichol, Sharon D’Arcey, Diane Bender and Keith Stoltz, all did a good job giving good points and grow points.
Lorna VanderPloeg, general evaluator took over the chairing part of the meeting for the evaluators role and gave us comments about the meeting
65 LAUGHS for the evening and lots of fun.
