Val
Hummel called the meeting to order and introduced Chairperson Leo.
Leo
spoke of ways to keep fit and have fun while doing it through exercise
and diet.
John gave us the joke of the day about a treadmill being left
as an inheritance in a will. Brent was Toast and Timer and led us in a
Toast to springtime in Canada.
Val was Grammarian for the evening and
explained the meaning of the word "blatant". It is an adjective that
can be used to describe something visually loud like a bright colour or
something that is offensively noisy or something that is obtrusive in a
way that offends.
Keith Stoltz handled Literary Corner and read the
Obituary of the Penny. He explained that the penny was "born" in 1858
and will come to the end of its "life" at the end of this month. It
will be withdrawn from circulation later this year.
Vern gave a speech
entitled "Senses" which described the five senses. He concluded with a
description of how his mother's homemade bread was enjoyed by all five
senses and left everyone craving bread and butter.
Tony chaired Table
Topics and distributed pennies to each member. Each person read the
date on their penny and explained something important that had happened
to them in that year. John was Table Topics winner for his description
of the first car he ever bought which happened when he went into a car
dealership to ask for directions.
George evaluated Vern's speech and
gave lots of grow points stating it was an interesting speech with
smooth transitions and good hand gestures.
Heidi was general evaluator
for the evening and commented on the great job everyone did with their
roles.
Brent gave the Timer's Report, and Val gave the Grammarian's
Report. The word "blatant" was only used about 4 times so it was
blatantly clear that Val should have given a better explanation of the
meaning of the word. In preparation for the upcoming election of
Executive members, Leo read the responsibilities of each role and asked
who was interested in each role. Some roles had interest but only the
crickets chirped when Leo asked who was interested in VP of Public
Relations! Elections will occur at the May 3rd meeting and
interested candidates will give 2-3 minute "fun" speeches outlining
reasons why they are interested in a role. The roles for next week were
mostly filled although some opportunities for participation still
exist. A fun meeting was had by all with lots of laughs, and Leo
adjourned the meeting at 8:40 p.m.
