Alderman Deane

Thank you.

President McCarthy

In the time that | have been on the Board I’ve learned a lot about public speaking. When | was first on the
Board | learned that you should always go to events prepared to speak whether you are on the agenda or not
and that you should always open with a joke. Today | learned that you should bring two jokes in case the
Master of Ceremonies takes your first one. That was my second one.
