We had snacks and soda for the food themed meeting so no one would get too hungry learning about Chicago Restaurants.
TM Eric Peterson entertained us with anecdotes about legendary Chicago Restaurants White Castle, Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria, and the Billy Goat Tavern (cheeseburger cheeseburger!!!).
Karen Lang gave the 9th speech from the CC book about “Change”. She showed how the brain’s neural system makes a new pathway when you do something differently including thinking in a new direction and encouraged a “21 day plan” to make positive personal changes in your life.
Karen was evaluated by Dan Pratt.
Next, Dave Trzupek gave an engaging talk about the Jay’s potato chip company in Chicago where his mother once worked and the joy of getting free samples from the factory. As they say on the package, “ya’ can’t stop eatin’ ‘em”.
Dave was evaluated by Gary Fuller.
During Table Topics each person talked about their favorite restaurant, including Linda Holm, our guest from Shaw, enjoyed her first toastmasters meeting and I am happy to report that she has decided to join our club.
We were excited to hear that Eric Wales, our general evaluator for today, is taking a 2 year trip around the country and won’t be back any time soon. The trip would’ve taken a month, but due to the high price of gas Eric will only be driving 8 miles an hour. To clarify, the excitement is for his excitement, not for his leaving us.
For next week’s meeting, Todd Rys will give his Ice breaker speech, all other roles are open, see you then!
Best Regards,
Eric Peterson
