Another Awesome meeting!

We had an awesome meeting this evening, 9-25-14!  Jim gave a slide presentation on why we should have single payer health care.  He convinced us by showing us various graphs reflecting how much more we pay for lower quality health care then several other countries.  A great deal of money is wasted in overhead.   Wonderful table topics: we spoke about the change of weather and how it affected us.  The theme was the colors of autumn: red and blue. Russell the Toastmaster introduced political challenges that will be taking place.  We were well represented at the District level competition by Brinn, and Russell.  Karen a member of our club won first place for another club.  Our wonderful Snack Master, Bill, provided delectable treats.  The meeting was well attended.

Humorous Speech

We had an awesome meeting last Thursday 9-18-14.  Russell, Kevin, Kathleen, Lydia and Brinn entertained us with their humorous speeches creating much laughter and fun.  Brinn came first and Lydia came second, and Kathleen came in third.  We will be well represented in the district contest.  We also had a variety of delectable foods from which to feast on.  Our wonderful meetings will be going back to normal this coming Thursday beginning with speeches, followed by table topics and ending with evaluations in order to aid us in improving our speaking skills.  Coming at 6:15 gives one the opportunity to meet members and pick a good spot to view the presentations.  I hear tell we are going to have exceptional treats this coming meeting 9-25-14!

Exciting Table Topics Contest

We had a wonderful table topics contest this last Thursday, Sept. 11^th 2014, with Russel, Brinn, Sandra, Chuck and Lydia competing.  They were to speak about a time they failed and learned something that was valuable.  It was a very competitive contest.  Russel came first, Brinn second and Sandra third.  They will be representing us in the District Contest!  We had awesome responses from the contestants!  We also had savory snacks!  Afterwards, some of us went to Yataimura Maru’s on Divison St. to continue our socializing and celebrating.  We toasted to the participants who competed in this contest and Heather for returning!
