Meeting Summary

Today's meeting was lead by yours truly. Our word of the day was Imperativeness, a noun that means urgently demanding attention.

We were blessed with two ice breakers today.

First, new member Carolyn told us about her life and times as a corporate attorney. She has also spent a great deal of time managing non-profits and fundraising. In response to her glowing speech, out next meeting is scheduled to be a black tie event at Del Frisco's. Bring your spouses. Silent auction to follow table topics. Just kidding.

Second, new member Jim Stephens told about his life beginning in Alabama. Jim is a journeyman that worked with NASA. He personally had a hand in putting the Saturn C5 rocket into orbit. Rumor has it Jim has political ambitions. Perhaps he and Nate can compare notes. Jim won best speaker.

Speeches were evaluated by Brendan and Ed respectively. Brendan won best evaluator. Ed countered with a win as Best Table Topic speaker. Table Topics were lead by the illustrious (notorious?) Dan Pratt.

Our guest today was Eric's cubicle neighbor, Suzanne.
