“Positive Attitude” Meeting Recap – 06/10/09
Today’s meeting was filled with positive attitudes and perhaps some adult beverages during the day or possibly some illegal or controlled substances of some kind since there were several Toastmasters who were a little loopy! The loopiness did add humor to the meeting though, so we aren’t complaining. Rey was our Toastmaster of the day. She started with the story of [...]

“Last Minute Meetings” Meeting Recap – 05/13/09
Lee as Toastmaster taught us that last minute meetings really can work. Though he apparently aggravated Staci with his last minute topic, the whole meeting went off beautifully. Staci, despite the short notice, did a wonderful job as Table Topics Master. She welcomed Albert back after his European vacation with a question about what he [...]

“Thrifty Living” Meeting Recap – 05/06/09
