They have a nice room we can meet in and good coffee, tea, and breakfast items we can purchase for our break. It will be a fun break from the usual! Invite your friends for a spot of tea and a speech :-)

The Icebreaker

Our last meeting was a real treat. We heard one of our favorite kinds of speeches, the ice breaker, from our newest member Michael Reid. He gave us a bit of his personal history and talked about his need to always be improving. He has certainly come to the right place by joining Toastmasters.

We got a preview of the area speech contest when three of the contestants, Roger Wells, Theresa Frasch, and Darlene Burrill practiced their contest speeches. The practice paid off. All gave much improved speeches and gave great performances. Darlene brought home the 3rd place trophy in the Humorous Speech contest!

For next week's schedule be sure to check the "Schedules and Roles" page.

Laughter Galore!

Our last meeting was our club's humorous speech contest. We have a great contestant in Roger Wells. He entertained the club talking about the adventure in growing old. The winner of our topic contest was Darlene Burrill.
