Today's Program:  MABE Q&A Game
Chris Curran, Jim Bache and Barbara Luther were judges and Erin Jaicks MC'd.  Members divided into teams.  They were asked questions and the judges rated them on their answers.  There was no mercy shown by the judges.  Teams had to bring their A-game.  Questions like "If you could have any super power what would it be?" kept people on the edge of their seats.  Bob Busch takes the best prize for putting Chris Curran, the Simon Cowell of the judging panel, in his place.

Yet another successful team building exercise by the always creative (and arguably the best speaker coordinator in MABE history), Erin Jaicks...Great job!  (Guess this comment would make be Paula today's butt-kissing Paula Abdul ;-) ).
