Change: It’s A Constant

Toastmaster Connie Pshigoda opened today’s meeting with nine members and two guests. The theme for the day was Change. It’s all around us but often we fail to acknowledge or appreciate it.

Gary Fuller stepped up as Speaker informing us of the traits of a Spokesperson. He opened by asking his audience to recall a memorable spokesperson. His speech project came from the Advanced Speaker Manual on Leadership.

Eric Peterson effectively evaluated Gary’s speech.

Linda Holm opened the way for all kinds of crazy Table Topic tales from our Halloween memories. Don Lyman took the award for the best tale of his 15 minutes of fame as a “rock-star-turned-clown.”

Todd Rys challenged us with the Word of the Day: Perfunctory.

Welcome visitors, Robert and Jason! Please visit us again.

The meeting closed with encouraging lyrics from Jimmy Buffett’s song: Changes in Latitude, Changes in Attitude: Keep laughing! Keep changing!
