ABSTRACT

Sylvia glanced around the room as the members of the family reunion committee sat silently staring at the floor. Her Uncle Will had just asked for a volunteer to serve as the master of ceremonies for the upcoming family reunion. It was going to be a weekend affair, with more than 70 family members in attendance. The hotel conference room had been reserved, the caterer selected, and the entertainment committee formed. The only thing left to do was have someone volunteer to serve as master of ceremonies for the Saturday evening festivities.
