Humorous/Evaluation Speech Contests (Or Girl's Night Out?)

What a meeting! Congrats, Tonya and Elizabeth! An all-women contest with no male competitors - whassamatta guys - too tough? Eleven members and four guests (two former members, one honorary member, and one about-to-become member) graced the room as Elizabeth Mitchell and Carl Thormeyer served as Humorous and Evaluation Toastmaster respectively. We were really glad to welcome back Brian and Angi Anderson, now of Santa Maria, CA; and Rachelle Onishi who delivered the "test speech" for the Evaluation contest.
