We had a very educational entertaining meeting this Thursday January 15, 2015.

We had 3 awesome very different speeches. Jim was the toastmaster. Lydia talked about the Chinese new year with enthusiasm. Edi gave her a tough very specific evaluation, which Lydia appreciated as she learns how she can improve. Tamar’s speech spoke about how clothing for babies begin shaping how they perceive themselves. Boys clothing were action oriented, while girls had flowers, and other cute things. During the summer girls wear revealing things. She had great visual aids. Kevin gave a speech on a homeless person he knows. He spoke of wanting to get him free dental care and problems he encountered such as drug use. He spoke of the challenges homeless people had. Table topics Master Rob asked interview questions. Cheryl and Kathleen participated. The two guests that came were impressed. We look forward to another exciting meeting coming up next Thursday!
