It's official summer started on June 21st and Mike our toastmaster took the opportunity to tell the club about some of the traditions and history surrounding the celebration for the summer solstice. Our newest member Keith brought us the word of the day, "intangible". an adjective meaning that which can not be touched easily defined, formulated or grasped. Better speaking is an asset from being in Toastmasters but some of the advantages are "intangible". In a world that is becoming more diverse, out topic master Roger had us opining on cultural differences we encounter. The first speech in the manual, the icebreaker, affords us the chance to get to know new members better and in his first speech before the club we had a chance to meet Keith. In a speech emphasizing body language Jean entertained the club with the trials and tribulation on her recent trip to Italy.
A big thank you to Theresa for making our new name placards. As well as having our names on the front, they also have a chart of our manual progress on the back facing us urging us on to complete those manual projects.
July 17th is Olde Burien Days and Area 41 will have a booth touting Toastmasters. This will be a great opportunity to bring some new people to the club. Think about volunteering on that day.
July starts Bang's new term as President. By the enthusiasm from her new officers, Educational VP Jean, Membership VP Theresa, Secretary/Treasurer Mike and Sargent-arms Keith it looks like it should be a great year. Be sure and come as Area governor Steve Kennedy installs the new officers.
