Applying the Borden Formula

Well, 29 Hours from now all the hard work of the past three and half months will all be a dim and distant memory.... this is it, I'm in countdown mode...

My parents have arrived and are helping put the finishing touches to the auction items... My poor dad has drawn the short straw of writing a "Thank you" message on the 40 "Have a Meal on Us" postcards donated by Lone Star Restaurant Another fantastic and supportive local restaurant...  (The best pork meal in the whole of Auckland in my opinion)

And here I sit, shackled to my laptop attempting to apply the Borden Formula to my speech for tomorrow night.  The HC, a seasoned public speaker advised I try this formula as I attempt to put together my first foray into public speaking, though he also gave me the totally unhelpful advice of "Just do it from the cuff, that's what I do"  ......yeah but NO Mr C that ain't happening.

The Borden Formula

1. Ho Hum
2. Why Bring That Up
3. For Instance
4. So What, So What....

Photos of the event will follow, a colleague who is a brilliant photographer has offered his services for the evening.... Yet again people never fail to amaze me with their goodwill and generosity.
