A boy and his father were asleep in the
woods on a camping trip. The boy awoke his father in the middle of the
night and said, “Dad, look up and tell me what you see.”
The father, wondering why the boy would
roust him from a sound sleep, said, “Son, I see a clear sky with stars and
planets. I see the Big Dipper and I see an awesome vision of the universe
before our very eyes.”
Noticing that he son looked perplexed,
the father asked, “And what do you see my son.”
“Dad,” the boy replied, “I see that
there is no canvas above us. I think someone stole our tent.”

Toastmaster David Rafanowicz commented
that he thought of the club as he stood at the World Trade Center site in
New York on Thursday. He said that when a group of about 35 young people
began singing a beautiful choral arrangement, he thought to himself, “isn’t
it amazing what a group of people can accomplish by working together for a
common cause.” Suddenly, the Toast of Jax club came to his mind.
