Eagles,
August 1st featured 16 Eagles and 8 guests, 2 of
which have turned into Eagles…..Welcome to Thom Knowlton and Josh Dummitt!
Amy, our President and Toastmaster of the evening, ran the
proceedings with her usual aplomb (maybe we should have used that as our word
of the day)!
Ian, our Table Topics Master, invited Paula to talk about
her vacation and members and guests about the weather. Joseph’s quote that
advised us not to fight with pigs in the mud led our Tom P, our VPE, to rush to
the defense of pigs (OK….he didn’t rush, he waited until the end of the
meeting). In any case, I learned a couple of lessons on the subject of people
and pigs.
Kate Kelly kicked off the speech portion with a speech called
“Know Your Audience” from the Better Speaker Series. Her speech was significant
as it not only brought some excellent speaker tips to our attention, but it
also completed her Advanced Communications Silver. Congratulations, Kate!
Your esteemed Secretary followed with a speech about Monkeys
and Business, not to be confused with Monkey Business. I assure you that no
animals were mistreated during the creation of my speech.
Special thanks to our functionaries…..Cecil (Grammarian), Richard
Freeman (Timer), Allie (General Evaluator), and Evaluators Ian and Heather.
Our next meeting is on 8/15…..At the time of this summary,
we still have a very light agenda and no Toastmaster. We really could use another
speaker or two!

See you on August 15th!
