Today was such a fantastic meeting on so many levels! Before the meeting, we had the special treat of finding new tables and chairs in the meeting room, courtesy of the NSA Department. I'm sure they did it just for our club!
We had 21 members and 7 guests, continuing the recent tradition of great attendance. The meeting started on-time, and begin with voting in and inducting our newest member, Pete Blouin, who jumped right in as vote counter.
Robin Walker as Toastmaster of the Day ran the meeting like a well-oiled (non-political) machine. The theme was "Political Campaigning," a very timely one with elections just around the corner. The energy was raised even higher with Robin's Clark Kent impression - except instead of a big red S he sported a campaign tee shirt under his shirt & tie!
Wil Wooton gave an inspiring speech #5 to rouse interest in the club's mentoring program, and spoke persuasively about its benefits. The high point of course being the Harry Potter/Albus Dumbledore graphics! This speech embodied all that Toastmasters and our club is about!
Presenting her Icebreaker speech, Erika Hunsicker spoke about growing up, farms in Germany, bilingual pigs and her work in the Peace Corps in a village in Kyrgyzstan.
Alec Metz gave another impassioned speech #4 about the meaning of being male in today's world, another educational and inspiring moment in our club! And Brian Anderson, gave an even more energetic and impassioned evaluation!
