We are excited to have Tim Geipe as our guest speaker in May. Tim spoke at the Clarksville chapter and came highly recommended by all those who listened to him! Working as a software engineer, Tim has a lot of experience making presentations and has been with Toastmasters for close to 30 years.

Tim will talk about how to influence people, and how to deal with nervousness. If you have any specific needs related to these topics, please let him know: Tim.Geipe@jhuapl.edu

Message from 5/20 Member Speaker

Hello there Moms, Inc. Members!

I’ll be speaking soon on the topic of greening our homes.

It’s really quite a simple proposition in light of all the wonderful alternatives to traditional household consumables we now have on the market. For example, you could easily shop at Whole Foods and avoid formaldehyde and many of the other harsh chemicals such as bleach and ammonia that take a real toll on our immune systems.

I’ll be introducing you to a much more economical way to green your home, in addition to sharing some information about why it is so important in the first place.

We’ll be learning that Home is Where the Chemicals Are! We’ll also learn that it doesn’t have to be that way.

As usual, I welcome and all comments and questions and look forward to seeing everyone real soon!

Wishing you a very green day,

Lisa Jo Finstrom

MOTHERS

Real Mothers don't eat quiche;
They don't have time to make it.

Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils
Are probably in the sandbox.

Real Mothers often have sticky floors,
Filthy ovens and happy kids.

Real Mothers know that dried play dough
Doesn't come out of carpets.

Real Mothers don't want to know what
The vacuum just sucked up.

Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?'
And get their answer when a little
Voice says, 'Because I love you best.'

Real Mothers know that a child's growth
Is not measured by height or years or grade...
It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to Mother...

The Images of Mother

4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!

8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!

12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.

14 YEARS OF AGE - Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either.

16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.

18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!

25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it!

35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.

45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?

65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mom......

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she
Shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
