Lights Out - Smedley

Although the electricity was out, there was no shortage of star power, when a fearless band of Toastmasters from Club # 2032 met in the third floor hallway of Glasgow Hall using the natural light available from adjacent windows.
TMoD Fred Sadler opened the meeting with some historical information on TM's dedicated founder Ralph Smedley.

Speakers included Cathy Lee presenting a fascinating advanced speech on "Hardwired for Happiness", Rachelle Onishi demonstrating the game of "Balderdash", also an advanced manual speech and Arnie Buss giving his #5 speech from the basic manual (his third time through) entitled "Listen". Evaluations were by Emilie Staryak, Cathy Lee and Art Testani.

Arnie Buss was awarded best speaker by vote counter John Armstrong, Cathy Lee won most improved and new member Art Testani won best evaluator. Donna Cunningham was the timer. Elie Ishag and one distinguished guest - Nancy Buss provided support and kept the sparks flying.
