Announcement: It has been decided during the Officer Meeting earlier today that the evaluators will also be recorded. A copy of the recorded evaluation will be sent to the speaker as well as the evaluator. This would be a great learning tool for both the speaker and evaluator.

Barb, Can you tell us your most memorable Valentine experience? Shortly after she met Robert, it was Valentine’s Day. She had a lot of thoughts in her head about whether she should buy a gift or not, whether he expects a gift, etc. Robert made it easy. He was all about being yourself.

Robert, What would be your ideal Valentine Day date? Dinner at Snoquamie Fall restaurant. He would pre-order a fire dessert to share with Barb.

Midori, What gift would you give yourself? She would give herself chocolate. In Japan, women would buy themselves chocolate and in March men would buy cookies.
