March 15, 2007 Meeting Summary
International Speech Contest
Speaker #1 - Lori G – A Special Birthday
Lori’s speech told the story of their journey to conceive a child. Her trials included infertility treatments, sibling pregnancies before she finally became pregnant, and an early delivery date! Lori’s speech ended with her much anticipated but touch-and-go birth of her daughter, Jacqueline, who turned 17 years old yesterday!
Speaker #2 – Marian J – Road to Sinagogo
Marian told the story of her father and his friend in the Irish Rifle Company in World War II. She told us of the attack on the monastery at Monte Casino, where 200,000 men, supporting air and tanks fought. After the fierce assault was waged, the battle was won but the London Irish losses were significant, including Marian’s father’s friend, Eddie Mayo.
Tall Tales Speech Contest
Speaker #1 – Kathy J – Tall Tales
Kathy shared some ideas for her Tall Tales Speech Contest entry for the Area Contest.
Following the contest, club members shared feedback with Marian, who will represent the club in the Area Contest next Tuesday.
Table Topics
Table Topics Master, Kurt J, showed each respondent pictures of Ollie, Laura Bourgeault’s new kitten, then asked them a question about the picture.
v Theresa B – What is Ollie thinking?
o His alarm just went off and he is thinking that he really doesn’t want to be disturbed! (Time: 36 seconds)
v Dave B – You’re practicing telling your wife something stupid that you did.
o “Your new car drives very smoothly. So smoothly that you can’t tell you’re going 70 mph in a 50 mph zone. Where’s the checkbook?” (Time: 1 minute 3x seconds)
v Kathy J – You just brought home a dog. Kitty was first. Kitty’s not happy and can talk. What does he say?
o “Haven’t I been good to you? I may shed a little, but that big, slobbery thing has got to go!” (Time: 38 seconds)
General Evaluation
Laura Bourgeault served as our general evaluator. She commended duty holders on their jobs well done and enjoyed the table topics respondents’ answers. She suggested that they try to reach one minute with their responses and thought Dave’s story might be real? Members opted to forgo the Spirit Award today.
