let's make a deal
says the sharp suited guy who seems pleased to have me evaluate him at an impending business skills workshop/career transition training recruiter presentation:
"you do a speech at my club and i'll do one at yours."

the table topics evaluator was very succinct in providing me feedback "very humourous" she said. i meant to use the word of the day "paucity" but forgot.

this club "welcomes members from within and outside Clarica/Sun Life organization" and keeps folders for members in a file drawer, and tracks role participation with draws for prizes, and gives out extra certificates and awards. the district something or other was there asking for judges at the humour contest. their name cards show their project progression and past/completed meeting and club roles. they give new guests an incredibly well branded portfolio of materials. i thanked them on a personal note for providing information on the new designations that i have been unable obtain in my own club, even though i have been asked to do a write up about the changes for the newsletter.
