We had another terrific meeting, with 20 participants - 14 members and 6 guests.
Three guests were back for a second visit: Michael O'Brien, Emily O'Brien, and Jennifer Cimilluca. Mike and Emily joined our club at the end of the meeting, and Jennifer indicated that she planned to join at the next meeting.
Our first time visitors were Barry Gordon, Brian Pollard, and Rita Allaire.
Arun Sodani was our Toastmaster, and Tom Alvord was the General Evaluator. Deborah Nason took her first turn as Table Topics master, and her questions on the theme of Community evoked some great personal anecdotes from our participants.
We heard 4 prepared speeches, from Charnaie Gordon, Kay Jeyapalan, Kim Price, and Anne Marie Cannata. Charnaie wowed us with a powerful Ice Breaker. Anne Marie got in one last practice before the Area Contest on Monday, 3/16, in Wallingford.
Thanks for everyone for signing up for speaking slots in advance. We now have so much demand for speaking slots, we are looking to add a special Speechathon meeting on May 7. More details to come, once we confirm the location.
