We first recite our club mission:
For support, that we may blossom
For learning, that we may grow For listening, that we may serve For speaking, that we may lead We join together in this group to seek and celebrate The power and the majesty of the spoken word The act of reciting our club mission helps us get going and strengthens our fellowship. We then recite our Pledge of Allegiance: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. No pause exists between "nation" and "under," contrary to the manner performed by most people and broadcast by some media outlets. Until further notice we will continue to use the current wording of the Pledge. You may elect not to recite any part or all of the pledge, as we respect one's opinion for doing so. |
