Hail to The Chief, Y'all!

While it is generally believed that clothes do make the man, it takes more than a wardrobe that would make Liberace envious for one man to lead an organization as diverse and often demanding as Las Colinas CC, especially when he finds himself in the unforgiving spotlight of addressing our general membership.

To that end, the president of the LCCC Board of Governors, Chris Allen, is leaving no stone unturned in his preparations for the first annual "State of The Club" meeting. In an exclusive interview with The Hosel Rocket, Allen revealed that he has retained the services of a professional speech coach to aid in his preparations for his address next Thursday night, March 17.

When pressed for the source of such inspiration, the President went full disclosure. "Look, I snuck out of work one afternoon to go see that movie, 'The King's Speech', just to see what all the damn fuss was about. After watching it, I figured if that guy could teach King Whatshisname how to talk on the radio without sounding like Mel Tillis, I could find someone who could make me sound like James Earl Jones."

While Allen declined to reveal the name of his speech coach, he did credit the source of the referral.  "When your shitter is clogged, you don't call a carpenter to repair it, right? You get a plumber. So, I went to the best public speaker I know, Mike Bowers, and asked him where he learned his oratory skills. He recommended two guys, and since Jack Daniels wasn't available, I went with the other guy, who I found had actually worked with former President Bush on his public speaking issues.  I'm very pleased with the results, and am looking forward to applying my new skills in my Presidential Address on March 17."

THR was able to attend a copy of some video on the working Allen's speech coach had done with President Bush, which can be seen in the following video.  Stirring stuff, indeed.
