Eagles,
It was great for us to get “back in the saddle” for our
first meeting at the Parks and Rec. Ute Brinkmann
served as our Toastmaster for a New Year’s Day theme. Our meeting also
celebrated Martin King Jr…….In the word of our Grammarian, Allie Centorino, celebrating New Years and MLK Day on the same day
was “Efficient”!
As has been our tradition, Ute opened up the meeting with a
toast of effervescent beverages. Heather
McKelvie (welcome back!) provided us a quote from Dr. King. Ian Brooks shared a humorous story that
referenced how to bury and keep a treasure simultaneously. Robin Corrigan provided us interesting Table Topics using props!
We also had two guests this evening…..Susan (President of Valley Shore Toastmasters) and Brad. Thank you, Susan and Brad…..We
hope to see you at a future meeting.
Tonight’s speeches were apropos for the occasion. Tony Centorino gave a speech about
Diversity. Joseph Oddie gave a
speech about overcoming adversity (“you receive what you believe”). Chris Gaffney achieved his CC this
evening with a speech about hope (“Hope is a natural resource”)….Congratulations,
Chris!
Special thanks to all of the functionaries mentioned above
as well as Kate Kelly (General Evaluator),
Tom Corrigan, Robin Corrigan, and Amy Demas (evaluators), Maryanne Shirshac (Ah Counter), and Paula Erardi (Timer).
Our next meeting is on January
30th (a “bonus meeting” if you will). Kate Kelly will be our
Toastmaster, and we have plenty of open
roles! Please sign up early and often!
See you all on January 30th!
Tony
