Beaches, Water, and....Motivation!

What a great show for visiting Area Governor John Lente! Fourteen members and six guests (including two from MIIS) cheered on Brian Anderson's #10 speech (now our newest Competent Communicator) and Carl Thormeyer's final speech in the "Communicating on Television" Manual.

We also received the happy news of the birth of Eric Timmerman's baby. Congratulations to Eric and his wife!
