Tonight's meeting featured 18 members, 4 guests, and 1 birthday girl....Happy Birthday Debbie Herget!!!!
Let's get right to the action.....
Speaker #1 was Sandra Centorino. Sandra gave a presentation to educate us on the 7 club officer roles. Sandra explained how the officers individually, and collectively, lead our club to help us grow as public speakers and leaders.
Speaker #2 was, hmmmmmm.....Sandra Centorino! Sandra's project was to interview several Eagles Toastmaster officers. The interview provided the interviewees opportunities to share why they became officers. Each officer had his or her own story about why they chose to serve our club. While the reasons for each officer was different, the one thing they shared was a deep connection to our club!
Now a message from our sponsor.....
May is "officer month"! By the end of May, we need to elect an officer team. If you have any interest in serving our club and gaining valuable leadership experience, please reach out to any of our current officers. Feel free to reply to this email and I will share your interest with the officer team.
Back to our meeting.....
Speaker #3, Deep Tawari, gave his Icebreaker entitled Curiosity and Honesty. Deep share an insight about how several childhood experiences deeply influenced the type of adult he became.....all based on honesty. As Deep's speech hit the six minute mark, he decided to defer his story about curiosity for a future meeting.....Now I'm curious!
Joseph Oddie, Speaker #4, gave a speech titled Grape Expectations. Joseph shared a story about how cherry picking a few grapes made him a bad apple....Joseph shared how a tough lesson he learned as a young man has lasted him a lifetime.
Tom Corrigan, our Table Topicsmaster, provided our members and guests the opportunity to talk about what they like most about summer. Our speakers had the opportunity to share how they are looking forward to summer by sharing experiences from summers past.
