Cookies (not to fear, these are not the computer-tracking kind)

Image
Toastmaster Karen Alexander chose cookies as the theme, in part, she said, because it was National Peanut Butter Cookie Day.   It probably was also a relief and comfort from all the recent news.  Joke master Stan Coss gave a journal of some jokes on the pandemic, he said, to try to get back the power. Don Groff had previously spoken in tribute to a role model in George Wingfield, and today Don spoke of the personal influence of another Reidsville legend, Leo Rentz.  Don said he'd proudly worn his little league jersey with  Rentz Oil and Mickey Mantle's number seven on the back.  Mr. Rentz    had become a wealthy man with his resourcefulness in putting out wildcat fires with dynamite.   Don had first met him at a Rotary Club luncheon when  Rentz had presented Don with an award for being an outstanding student athlete and citizen.  In 1970 Don had accepted a job to learn the oil business for a year before he decided to...

Longevity and a Quality of Life that Matters

Image
Toastmaster Brad Dienst gave interesting insights and interludes into longevity, and Word Master Susann Swan supported the theme with "venerable."  Joke Master Betty McCallister incited laughter with a teenage son whose father with the wisdom of Solomon withheld driving privileges:  if Jesus and others of his time had long hair, that did not mean the teen could forego cutting his hair and still get a car to drive.  Jesus and others also did not have motorized vehicles. Speaker Stan Coss converted his back pocket speech before another club two weeks ago into a Pathways project that emphasized body movement.  His title was "These Black Lives, especially, Mattered."  He explained how three people gave lessons in a life that mattered.       Truth be told, the slide used above, along with the mule, was much smaller than Stan recalls.  The mule at times had to pull a rubber-tired wagon loaded with green tobacco leaves, not just thr...

The Last Shall Be First

Image
Josh Gravley took the reverse of last week's theme and dealt with "last's."  Josh lasted throughout the meeting with interesting information, including the last trip to the moon (1972), the last word in the dictionary (the zyzzyva, a snouted beetle), and The Last of the Mohicans movie (1992).  Joke Master Karen did not have the last laugh, but she opened with some. Word Master Ray Daley was "optimistic" about getting some word usage, and near the last of the meeting he got some. Jeanne Resen gave a very enlightening view of the stage manager's job.  She gave entertaining stories of holding up a show, saving  flying effects, managing 14 kids and dog, and carrying a firearm across the border on a road show.  Her audience gained a new appreciation of all the responsibilities entrusted to this liaison to the show's director.  She was evaluated by Stan Coss. Sally Jones was Table Topics Master and supplied prompts in support of the ...
