We had a wonderful year-end meeting last night, with 16 participants. Our festivities included 3 guests: first time visitor Charnaie Gordon and old friends Ute Brinkmann and Rose Rota Riccitellii.
Nancy Green was Toastmaster for the evening. She organized the meeting around the theme of Giving, and the theme was reflected in the Word of the Day, the Table Topics, the prepared speeches, and in the Toys for Tots collection that accompanied the meeting. Great job, Nancy!
We heard 5 prepared speeches: A reading of "The Gift of the Magi" from Rob, an original fairy tale from Rose Rita, persuasive speeches from Tom and from Anne Marie, and an excellent Ice-breaker from Marc. Arun was the General Evaluator, and he managed to squeeze in the 5 evaluations and still end the meeting almost on time.
Thanks to everyone who brought refreshments. This was a great way to close out the year.
Our next meeting is January 8, 2009. Happy New Year!
