Using the Opportunities We Are Given

Theresa had the opportunity to be the acting president since Bang was out of town. She opened the meeting by welcoming our three guests: Tim, Norm and Randy and welcoming our newest member: Gerri!!

After the flag salute Jessica reminded us we have the opportunity to behave contrary to the way people expect with her thought of the day.

Jean Schmidt took her opportunity as Toastmaster to bedazzle us with her polished agenda including the times we should be starting each event. She wowed us as she single-hsndedly took on the roles of grammarian and timer, too. She led us through a meeting filled with opportunities to improve our speaking skills.

Jessica had the opportunity to tell us "The Best Kept Secret" and shared some of her recruiting stories with us. Theresa made us pretend we were business owners and she told us why we needed to jump on the social media bandwagon with "All A-Twitter."

Roger gave us the opportunity to find out what would happen if we were caught in sudden uncomfortable situations - how would we handle ourselves. Even a couple of our guests participated in this lively Table Topics session.

Our guest Tim won the best Table Topic award.
Roger won the best Evaluator award.
Jessica won the Best Speaker award.

Next week's schedule is posted here.

Jean's bedazzling agenda is posted here. All you need to do is copy and paste, then fill in the blanks.
