Connie Pshigoda, served today's meeting as Toastmaster and welcomed members and two visitors. Terry Martin and Mike Gutzmer from Mutual of Omaha were today's guests.
Member Dan Pratt provided a recorded version of Rory Vaden's winning speech on steps to success. As a club exercise in strengthening our evaluating skills, each member gave a 60-second evaluation on the speech. TM Connie Pshigoda cited from a Toastmaster magazine "The 3-R's of Evaluating: Review, Reward and Respond.
Member Gary Fuller provided Table Topics with the theme "Qualities of Leadership" asking speakers to define dynamic determination and intellectual flexibility. Guest Terry Martin won the award for Best Table Topic presenter.
The Word of the Day: abscond---to depart secretly; to steal away and hide oneself. "All members and guests wholeheartedly participated in the Toastmaster activities. . . none absconded to avoid taking the lectern."
As always, we miss those who were absent and look forward to seeing you next week when Don Lyman will lead the meeting as Toastmaster.

So how'd I do? Did I go over time? How many ums? Any bad uses of grammar? Fill me in friends! :)
See you in the stairwell,
Rory Vaden
