We had 13 participants at our October 23 meeting - 12 members and 1 guest.
Arun Sodani did a great job as the Toastmaster, as usual. Ramesh Padavala was the Table-Topics Master, and he challenged us all with some typical job-interview questions. We heard 4 excellent prepared speeches, from Brian, Erik, Beth, and Anne-Marie.
Our guest was Marin Sung, a student at Middlesex Community College. Marin participated in Table Topics, and expressed her interest in coming to another meeting in November.
Please note that our next meeting, November 6, is at The Village at South Farms, in the 3rd-floor Pub Room.

Meeting October 9, 2008
We had 12 participants at our October 9 meeting - 11 members and 1 guest.
John Keppler stepped up as the Toastmaster, and did a great job. We conducted our table-topics "pot-luck" style. Everyone prepared one question, and then when each person finished their turn at Table-Topics, they asked a question to the next person. This was a lot of fun - a good back-up plan for meetings without a Table-topics Master. We heard 4 prepared speeches, from Kay, Rob, Pete, and John.
Our guest was Marc Cammarata, a prospective member who found our club through the website. Marc expressed interest in joining the club.
Please note that we have added a meeting on November 6, at The Village at South Farms.

Record-setting meeting, another gavel departs
Our September 11 meeting was a record breaker. We had 26 people at the meeting - 18 club members and 8 guests!
Among our 8 guests were 5 members of Stag Toastmasters, who were there to capture the gavel Enis. We still have one gavel left, so we can expect at least one more visit as part of the district Traveling Gavel program.

Gavel Bo Departs
Aug. 28, 2008
Greater Hartford Toastmasters visited to capture Bo, the traveling gavel. Our visitors were: Michael Wagner, Carol Gray, Christina Lumbreras, and Yvonne Duncan.
From Yvonne:
"We all enjoyed, immensely, the visit to your club. It was not only great fun meeting everyone and participating in the meeting, but we learned a few things that we can adopt to make our meetings run as efficiently as possible. 3 of the 4 of us are fairly new Toastmaster members and seeing another club in action was a very valuable experience. Thanks to you and the club members for the very warm welcome extended to us. It was fun!"
