Newsletter for 12-3-7 Meeting

December 4, 2007 by Deborah.

Hello,

I think we broke a record tonight. Everyone assigned a role, except for the GE and Speakers, was a no-show or was replaced at the last minute. Tenacious as we are, we pulled it off and had a great meeting. 13 members and 1 guest were present. The evaluations were awesome! Seriously great speeches, information and tips tonight.

Our acting SAA, Claudia Brogan welcomed us and we pledged our allegiance. Claudia stood in for Paul Johnson, our acting President of this month.
Deborah Hill was our Toastmaster
GE: Linda Love
GR: Merrilee Morris
Timer: Jon Schwartz
Camera Person: Rui Li

Our speakers:
Bill Hosken gave a thought provoking speech on the benefits of being in Toastmasters. His speech summed it up well, and gave us some fascinating stories to back his material up.

Claudia Brogan gave a speech from the Better Speaker Series. She eloquently gave us tips on how to conclude our speeches well.

Iris Grimm had us on the edge of our chairs as she passionately told us how she found her passion in life.

Our break was filled with conversation and some yummy food.

Merrilee Morris passed out a sign up sheet for our party, which will be held at Vicki Willard’s home on Dec. 17. We’re not certain about the time, but we think it will be at 6 pm. It will be a potluck with heavy hors d’oeuvres and desserts. If you haven’t already, please email Merrilee to tell her if you’ll be attending or not, how many guests you’ll have with you and what food you’ll bring. The club will supply wine and soft drinks. Bring your own beverage if these don’t suffice.

Next week Cindy Light will do her Ice Breaker in hopes of becoming a member. Come one, come all. It’s your last chance to attend a meeting until Jan. 7, 2008.

We ended on time and everyone cleaned up, hung out and talked.

See you next week.

My Best,
Deborah Hill
Secretary
