Food and ... Sockpuppets (?)

With a theme of "Food" (no, we didn't eat the sock puppets; but they threatened to eat us with their big long teeth - see Angi's speech video below), 14 members and 4 guests enjoyed another great meeting. And,two of the guests are submitting applications for membership! A third guest was visiting Toastmaster Ngan Tran from Evening Toastmasters in Capitola.

Alex and Leena shared the "Most Improved" award for their speeches, while Angi won another "Best Speaker" award for her very unique #9 persuasive speech. Glen Woodson was awarded "Best Evaluator" by GE Arnie Buss, while new member Amy Treadwell won "Best Table Topics" with a dissertation on Julia Childs as her favorite celebrity chef. Congratulations to all!
