With great enthusiasm Theresa Frasch acted as our Toastmaster. With more sunshine, more birds singing in the morning and more color in our gardens Theresa chose Spring Forward as the meeting's theme. The theme was carried out by, our Topic Master, Mike DeLeon as he had the members talking about their favorite spring events such as their favorite spring sport, walk, festival, etc.
Doing speech number three from the manual, Keith Weir talked about how green jobs will save the economy. He covered such topics as solar power, wind power technologies to new construction and the retrofitting of old buildings.
Our word of the day was "defenestration" the act of throwing something out of a window. It comes from the Latin "de" meaning out and "fenestra" meaning window. In a sentence, "These new energy saving windows make it harder to defenestrate."
Keith got two evaluations for his speech, one from Darlene Burrill, and as a special treat, one from Theresa, as she practiced for the Division D Evaluation Contest conming up on April 15th.
To see what is happening on our next meeting, Thursday, April 14th, go to Schedules and Roles.
