Did you know that this is National Friendship Week? In it’s honor, we extolled our friends today, because they are important in our lives. A good friend is indispensable. Friends inspire, support and encourage us—they enrich our lives. As Emerson said, "The only way to have a friend is to be one." Make yourself available for friendships...that way you’ll be there for each other in high and low times.
Program highlights
*Welcome new members Brendan McMillan and Todd Rys who joined today!
*Our word of the day: - par·si·mo·ni·ous. Frugal to the point of stinginess; sparingly.
*Don Lyman, our solo speaker, gave his second CL manual speech, Organize it, titled Everyday ethical conundrums. As an "integrity leader" for his company, InsureMe, Don spoke about the integrity poll, a key tool he uses to champion the virtue.
*Gary Fuller adeptly evaluated Don's speech with praise and helpful tips for next time.
*Eric Peterson carried out the theme with his Table Topics questions about friendship.
*Our general evaluator/toastmaster Janet sized up the meeting with her keen observations. We need to start using the ah-buzzer and give award certificates to winners. Janet gave herself and her TM crew excellent marks for a well-organized and executed meeting.
