Toastmasters 10-23-2008

Toastmasters was held in our spacious and comfortable new meeting room. For all who felt cramped in the old room you will be much more relaxed in the new setting.

Dave Trzupek showed us the way to survive these turbulent economic times with an informative speech. His five steps of action gave us all a way to take some control of our future.

Dave was evaluated by Ed Johnson.

Next, Karen Lang gave the 10th speech from the CC book focused on inspiring your audience. Congratulations to Karen for completing her Competent Communication manual. She now plans to focus on helping each of us reach our goals in her role as VP of Education.

Karen was evaluated by Connie Pshigoda.

During Table Topics each person talked about a time in their childhood when they got into trouble. Gary Fuller told us of a time when his brothers, friends, and he were playing army and launching grenades (rock) at each other. Gary's rock found its mark and sealed his fate.

For next week’s meeting, Connie will be our Toastmaster and Linda will be our Table Topics Master. All other roles are open. See you then!

Best Regards,
Don Lyman
