With a theme woven around the idea of being prepared for the unexpected, Glenn Woodson as TMOD led another fantastic meeting of NPS #2032. Seventeen members and four guests enjoyed a real switcheroo... all persons with roles not requiring significant advance preparation were reassigned to other members as they entered the room via a sealed envelope! For example, Steve Skaggs - originally assigned as Timer - became the Grammarian, while Zeki Yildirim - originally assigned as Grammarian - became the Timer! And so it went.
We voted in and inducted three new members. Welcome to Joyce Laker, Corban Spraker and Eric Guttman!
Eric Guttman won Best Speaker for his Icebreaker, while Karen Woodson was voted Most Improved. Their speeches, along with Alex Bein's speech, are posted below. Best Evaluator was Brian Anderson, while Carl Thormeyer won Table Topics by default as no-one else qualified timewise!
Thanks to Robin Walker as Table Topics Master and Alec Metz as General Evaluator, both of whom had been originally scheduled to perform the other role!
