Will soccer overtake baseball and football as America’s favorite sport?  NO emphatically.  Too sophisticated.  Cannot tell when soccer starts and ends.  Speaker 5: Anesa.  What can be done about bullying?  Starts at home.  Educate Parents on how to raise children.   People stepping up and declaring what not right. 

Speeches:  3 Icebreakers
Sandra’s speech— Parents wanted to name her Santa but compromised with Sandra which means helper of humanity.  Married Buster (Tony), 2 girls Stephanie and Alison.  Started ‘Cure chief’ which made soft head covers for Cancer patients..  She ended that business and started “say it forward” positive quotes to cure negativity.

Tony’s speech— aka. Buster, talked about his years with GE from a Computer Science degree to a present Account Executive.  He travels about 60% , deals with large Power Plants to the $50 dollar meter in your home.  He works on providing solutions.  He is Toastmasters to become better speaker with dealing with CEO’s and VP’s.  Conversation has changed over the years. There is less time and must be practical.

Cartlton’s :  He is a movie buff and pointed out where his name was used on TV; “Carlton the doorman” He prefers to observe than be heard that is why he is with our Toastmasters group.  He is  a music Connoisseur 90’s hip hop.  UConn Husky Graduate.   He works to convince Men and women to end violence.  He says he is an “Average Joe.”
