October 19, 2021 Why are Thanksgiving and Halloween fall in the same month?

Well discussing Thanksgiving and Halloween in the same Lingo Advanced Communicators meeting did not throw anyone off. However, if we could have “indulged” in Pumpkin Pie, it would have notched the meeting up even more.  TM of the day, Xiao X, set the stage asking us what exciting things happened to us in October, bringing out various responses.  🦃 🎃 🥧 

We had a full meeting with a Pathway Dynamic Leadership L3E speech: creating effective visual aids (white board and PowerPoint) by Cherry C. As her evaluator and since it was her second round doing this speech, I looked at where she had improved and she had. TM Xiao set up a great Kahoot.it game for us re the theme. New member Craig B came in first, Edith B second and Eileen S third. We won’t mention who came in last, but his initials are DMc. President Dan led the one agenda item business meeting, the induction of Craig B to Lingo. Welcome Craig, so happy to have you join us. 👏
TTM Edith B led two rounds of table topics with a variety of Thanksgiving and Halloween topics. Winners were: Eileen - round one and Dan - round two. All this kept Timer and Sgt at Arms Eileen really busy. Other key roles were Cherry, (grammarian and Ah counter),  Craig (TTE) and Dan (GE).  Now everyone, except the purple lady (EB) needs to get their costumes ready for Halloween, although, they have been wearing 😷 for months. 
Our next meeting/workshop is November 2/21 at 7 pm MST - be ready to “ReEngage, ReDiscover, ReEnergize.” See you on Zoom 

p.s. Happy 8th Anniversary 🎉 Lingo Advanced Communicators chartered October 23/13 and to Edith B and Rhys D Charter members for hanging in and the other six members joining us for the great ride.     Submitted by: Edith B, DTM
