GETTING THE WORDS OUT

Greetings, fellow voyagers in a valley of veritable verbiage.

Just a word to remind you that our meeting is this week, on Thursday, October 16th. I understand that is also National Boss Day.

And speaking of national bosses, there is no finer time to experience the power of words than in the final months of an election year.

Eloquent speeches are written and delivered with pride. Issues of great importance are brought to the forefront and debated with the utmost civility.

Seasoned news reporters work around the clock to ensure that we the people are immersed in nothing but the truth - no matter how often it changes.

And then, there is the ad campaign.

On September 11th, this year, the candidates decided to keep the airways free of all campaign ads, as a gesture of respect. They determined that such material would be somehow offensive on such a meaningful day.

My question is, if they can consider campaign ads offensive on a day that represents our solidarity as a nation, why can't they be considered offensive EVERY day?

Well, my friend, be sure to circle November 4th on your calendar.That's the one day YOU get to say whether you approve of their message.

And, even if you can't make it to this month's meeting, you will definitely want to put a star on November 20th. That is the day we plan to welcome the innovative owners of UnTapped Talent.

Visit www.UnT2.com to find out more about their first book release and the author, who will also be joining us.

Keep looking forward, and we hope to see you soon.
