Meeting, February 12

We had an unusual night with almost as many guests as we had members: 11 members and 8 guests! Our guests were: Jennifer Cimillca, Michael O’Brien, Emily O’Brien, Leslie Strovas, Victoria Schaff, Pamela Mulready, Minyan Zhu, and Terese Rogers.

Pamela and Leslie came as guests but signed up to become new members! Welcome Pamela and Leslie!

Our President, Rob Schaff, motivated the club as he announced we now have 8 Club Points toward Distinguished Club. Other members chimed in that we are ahead of schedule to date!

Erik Jarboe was very comfortable in his role of Toastmaster for the second time. He thanked Tom Alvord and John Kepler for taking on roles that needed to be filled at the last minute, like true Toastmasters!

Rob was our Table Topics Master using an interesting spin on the movie, “Rocky.” Several of the guests eagerly participated.

Our four speakers were: John Kepler, Peter Plotica, Erik Jarboe, and Ann Marie Cannata. This was Ann Marie’s 10th and final speech in the CC Manual. Congratulations Ann Marie!

Cheryl Mason was our General Evaluator. It had been mentioned at the last meeting that the club, as a whole, needed to work on giving evaluations. Erik gave a timely speech on evaluations from information he had received at the training last month in Manchester. John also commented that all of the evaluations had been under time, less than 2 to 3 minutes.
