Another beautiful evening to tempt us outside, but that did not stop a good turnout of members and guests! We welcomed our first-time guest Nimmie and returning guest Collette. We were also pleased to have with us our newly-elected Division J Governor, Sanjay. Thank you all for attending. Glad to hear you enjoyed the evening and offered positive and warm comments.
BBQ Season was our theme for the evening, most pleasantly chaired by Susan – complete with BBQ apron and tongues! Susan kept to the theme of the evening interspersed with good bridging techniques.
Brian as our always-humorous Grammarian chose the word of the day: aversion (n.) meaning dislike. Surprisingly, this word of the day was said infrequently during the evening, begging the question: did we have an aversion to aversion??
Only four table topics this evening, well hosted by Ken, who brought candidates to the lectern with their respective scenarios ranging from their best BBQ recipe, to which type of BBQ to operate. The latter, well demonstrated by Maurice explaining the pros and cons of coal, gas and electric barbeques, won him the Best Table Topics Award!
Our two program speakers were Tom and Rosemary. Tom’s project was the question-and-answer type in which the audience's role was that of the media. Tom is a realtor and based his presentation on two situations that have recently occurred in the real estate industry. Rosemary spoke from the Interpretive Reading manual and delivered a two-actor play. Both projects were well done. The Best Speaker Award went to Rosemary; the Best Evaluator Award went to Maureen for her evaluation of Rosemary’s speech. Congratulations to all winners.

A few notes for you:
