We had 17 members attend our last meeting on April 9, 2009.
At the beginning of the meeting our President, Rob Schaff, handed out pins to our newest members: Tawana Bourne, Craig Fisher, and Leslie Strovas. Rob commented how the club ordered an abundance of pins this last year and we have had so many new members we need to reorder! We are the only club in District 53 to date that has reached President’s Distinguished Club status this year!
John Keppler was our excellent Toastmaster for the evening. As Table Topics Master, Cheryl Mason presented a theme that was inspired by recent contests, keeping participants thinking on their feet. Prepared speakers were Charnaie Gordon, Pam Mulready, Dianne Olsen and Kay Jeyaplan. Nothing was “feckless” about the speeches or the evaluations led by General Evaluator Peter Plotica, Jeff Lagasse, Charnaie Gordon, Sreeni Voleti, and Ramesh Padavala.
Rob asked Anne-Marie Cannata to speak to the group about her winning experience with her recent speech contests. For anyone thinking about giving a speech contest a try, next time around, she would be a wonderful mentor for it.
