From Tom Alvord:
Hi! I'm so excited about our meeting last Thursday Night! We had 6 guests! - a record since I've been member! It made for a great meeting - lots of activity and good feedback from the guests! John Keppler was the masterful ToastMaster and Rob Schaff performed the role of GE like a pro. Screeni's speech was excellent preparation for Thursday's Area Contest. Evaluators said it was an improvement over Club Contest presentation which is exactly what we like to see.Good luck Sreeni.
And best wishes to John in the Tabletopics Contest! Since John didn't get to present his Tabletopic speech Thursday (duh!) he didn't get the royal treatment that Sreeni did - but John - we're still rooting for you! [Just in - John cannot make the contest so Arun will represent our club in the Table Topics Contest] Best wishes Arun!
Arun was an excellent Tabletopics Master - especially since he didn't know it was his job till about 5 minutes before the meeting. My understanding is that he made up the questions as we went along. It was great interesting, educational fun Arun!
Congratulations Eliot Lofman on your 2nd - another excellent speech! Isn't it great when a fairly new member gets up in front and demonstrates natural talent! How many of us wish we had a voice that projects as well as Eliot's? Rob also gave another excellent speech! How easy it is to listen to Rob! The words just seem to flow!
One of the guests - Anne Marie submited her paid application and another - Mesha had already joined on Contest night so I'm really excited that we're generating some new members! Apparently we've all been visualizing a 25 member club because we've not really done anything special to attract these new members that I know of. Now that Contest season will soon be over we'll be able to focus on membership. We have half baked plans in the hopper and we'll roll them out soon. But six guests was such great news - it gives us some momentum toward the all-important goal of having 20 members come June 30!
We're looking forward to a great contest Thursday. Remember - we want to get an early start so we've got the Library at 5:00 and we'll start the contest at 6:00.Hats off to Fred for taking over the chairmanship or the Contest. Chris Lewis just Monday night volunteered to be ContestMaster so if everyone else will show up to be judges and counters we will be in great shape!
See you tomorrow!
Tom
