Our club was again in rare form with Dan Pratt as Toastmaster. The theme of the meeting went along with the 4th of July theme of Freedom and Independence. Dan was a little too free, however, as his meeting agenda was virtually invisible.
Don Lyman gave the best Word of the Day presentation we have seen for a long time, giving us the word “rectitude.” After all, it was just the right thing to do.
Next, we took a journey with Linda Holm, visiting Mexico in early July of 1976. It was there that she and her fellow expedition members were saved from scarab beetles and a sinking (and apparently stinking) minibus by a colorful character whom she compared to Indiana Jones!
Connie Pshigoda evaluated her speech, giving some expert pointers.
Krystyna Noworytta gave us Table Topics, asking us what we would do in various situations on a cruise ship. We learned that Cindy Castilow’s former boyfriend Brad Pitt was sometimes seen dining with her, possibly to make Angelina jealous. Cindy entertained us the most, and won best Table Topic speaker award.
Our club president, Connie, presented Doris Steffe and Krystyna with new member Toastmaster pins. Laura Drury just submitted her application, so we will also present her with a pin, possibly at our next meeting.
We will meet this coming Thursday, July 9th. We’re still looking for a Toastmaster, but Linda volunteered for Table Topics, and Carolyn Hariton will deliver a speech.
Also, I just talked with Krystyna. I think she is trying to prepare her 2nd speech for this Thursday.
See you tomorrow.
Dan Pratt
