Memories and Memorial Day

With 22 members and one guest present we once again had a great meeting, with Shenequa Mitchell doing an outstanding job as a first-time Toastmaster of the Day as she shepherded the three speakers pictured below through the program. Best speaker was Eric Timmerman (see You-Tube link below), while Best Evaluator was Brian Anderson.

Ned Powley led a great Table Topics session with five participants discussing subjects related to memories. Ilie Ishag was the winner of Best Table Topics with his description of his most memorable historical figure, who was Menachem Begin (former Israeli Prime Minister). Mash Otgonbayer won Most Improved for his 3-minute plus dissertation on memorable memorials he had seen in Rome! Great job, Mash... Another interesting "must know" tidbit... never offer Karen Woodson a piece of chocolate cake!
