Holiday Party and Toastmatser Meeting

We opened our meeting with an invocation provided by Debbie Wofford. Jacqueline Rudloff provided the word of the day – opulent; opulent means sleek; luxurious.

Welcome once again Kathleen Whelan who was our guest once again. We hope you enjoyed your second visit to our Club.

We had one speaker, Jose Lepervanche, who presented his speech from the High Performance Leadership manual titled “Presenting the Results.” His speech gave us a look into the results that were achieved in the establishment of a leadership training program in the Boys Scouts. Jemerson Diaz was the evaluator for Jose’s speech.

Jeanne Hammond organized our Table Topics which was organized as a continuing story. Members who participated, which include Wanda Brown, Andrea Siracusa, and Jemerson Diaz, choose bags containing secretive items. The first speaker started a story about the object she picked and the following speakers had to continue the story using their chosen objects. Congratulations to Wanda who was voted as the best Table Topic Speaker.

Thank you to Juan Carlos Perez who was our um/ah counter, JoAnne Heinrich our time keeper and Andrea Siracusa our Vote Counter.

Reminder: Next week’s meeting will be our last for 2008. We will be meeting at the San Marco Library. We look forward to seeing everyone one last time before the New Year approaches. Jeanne Hammond will be our Toastmaster for next week, so please speak with her if you do not have a role or if you are doing a speech. Let’s make our last meeting the best for 2008!!!


Thank you
