A Close Call... April 26th Meeting.

Every once in a while life encroaches on the clubs regularly scheduled meeting. Today's meeting was nearly done in due to both our speakers being pre-empted by life.

Fortunately for us, we have a very dedicated group and two speakers were ready to save the day. Luayne Trujillo and Nick Samoylov both stepped up and filled the void. Let this be a lesson to fellow toastmasters, yours truly included (guilt may be the reason I'm drawing the lesson), good speeches require a good deal of practice and preparation. That both Nick and Luayne were able to step in with less than a few hours notice is testimony to the work they put in on their speeches.

The speeches were evaluated by Mike Biggs and Dave Trzupek. Both did an excellent job. Dave took the best evaluator honors, which is high praise for his first evaluation, especially since it was earned without benefit of an evaluation form to guide him.

Table Topics were presented by Lisa Dahl. Lisa drew the table topic subject of, Career Day, from her recent acceptance of a position as CFO of Qdoba. There were many questions and by meetings end everyone had spoke.
