Linguist of Listowel
The meeting last night finished with over 75 laughs! What an increase over the last meeting by 25 laughs. What a boost to the meeting. Great joke by Keith Stoltz, if you are a speaker always make sure you are not the last one to speak if you want a guarantee that there will be anyone left to hear it.
Grammarian by Sharon D’Arcey, provided us with the word Pilgrimage which means; a long journey. The way the word was presented was that Sharon was going to pay close attention to it's proper usage. We did use the word and had a lot of fun with it. The word pilgrimage was used over 7 times or more during the evening.
We had a Thanksgiving reading from Heidi Menzi. She read about saving habitat for pheasants and how they were preserved in the wildlife. We had one speaker; Lucy D’Arcey, who provided us with a motivational speech on Thanksgiving that added humor and inspiration.
Table Topics, led by Jane Stoltz, was about things that we are thankful for. The winner was between myself and Keith Stoltz. Keith won because I voted for him and he did have a better mini speech than mine.
Quizmaster; Keith McCluskie did a good job and had us puzzled on some of the comments or statements made by people during the meeting. It was good that he had some easy ones in the mix.
We also had an award for Lucy D'Arcey who gave her 6th speech tonight and she was recognized for her achievement. Great job Lucy! We always enjoy listening to your speeches.
Audrey Orth, General Evaluator only had good things to say about the meeting which was full of laughs and good times.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones.
