Last meeting of 2007 -- Dec. 20, 2007

Remember, no meeting on Dec. 27.

Talented Toastmaster Cary Bradley set the stage for a dynamic meeting with a 2007 retrospect theme that she so skillfully carried out from start to finish. She also introduced all speakers like a pro at a public presentation.

Engaging speaker Mike Angel entertained us with his interpretive reading of a classic holiday tale about Ebineezer Scrooge, while "space ship captain" Mike Stablien took us on a narrative journey to other planets with his visual show.

Mike S. won best speaker, but it was a close vote with Mike A. scoring high, as well. Dave T. won best evaluator for his review of Mike's speech. Eric's review of Mike Angel's speech came in at a close second.

Janet Reese led Table Topics with questions that challenged everyone to reflect on and share their annual highlights. Cary Bradley won for her Eat, Pray, Love book description and recommendation for all to read.

Which speaking opportunity would you like to fill for our next meeting, Jan. 3, 2008? E-mail me with what you elect. As you can see, we need to line up our cast long before the curtain rises. Let's make our first 2008 meeting as great as the last one of 2007!
