Competition

With 21 members and two guests present, Toastmaster of the Day Alex Bein led us through a fast paced meeting on the theme of "competition". He was also presented with a "Certificate of Appreciation" for his many contributions while a member of Club #2032. Alex graduates from NPS next week and heads to Norfolk, VA for his next duty assignment.

We will miss you Alex and know that you will continue Toastmastering on the east coast.
