First Meeting!

Tuesday, January 9, 2007

Our team met for the first time tonight! We met at the Suppenkeuche in San Francisco, a young and trendy German restaurant...very authentic!

Our team leader is Roger (a Rotarian) and the team has five non-Rotarian members; Kristen, Paul, Jasmyn, Jeniece and me. I met Roger, Jeniece and Dennis at Manzanita park and ride so we carpooled into SF together.

Roger is a self employed real estate investor and property manager for commercial properties.
Kristen is a program manager for a personal history and biography company.
Paul is an architect with a large national design firm.
Jasmyn is a Registered Nurse.
Jeniece is a Human Resources Representative.


I can't believe no one has filmed a reality show from this yet...c'mon..they pick six total strangers and send them to a foreign country for a month to live in other people's houses. Make them stand up in front of a bunch of foreigners and deliver presentations in a foreign language. There ought'a be some pretty freakin' hilarious moments that come out'a this gig!! And who's gonna be the one I get to giggle with all the time?

Have I mentioned I don't speak a word of German?

I wonder: who will be the prima donna, who will be the trouble maker, who will be the kiss ass, who will be the partier?? Hmmm...pretty funny mix of people! I am curious if my first impressions will be right or wrong?

Dennis says he has never sent the original team selected...whoa! I am surprised by this and suddenly I look around the table and even though I have only known these people for 20 minutes, I don't want any of us not to go!

So many questions were answered tonight and still so many questions linger. We will have to go to the District 5150 Conference in Yosemite (oooo--twist my arm!!! i love yosemite!) and I am pretty sure Maureen and Jay will be there too!
