May 31: Teresa debuts as Toastmaster

This was an exceptional meeting! The theme was "It Takes Fierce Will to Get Ahead in this World." Our famous Sergeant at Arms, Gary Chiu, in his easygoing style, addressed the challenge of working around (pun intended!) the surprise of finding round tables in our meeting room. He also wore two hats and smoothly transitioned to General Evaluator. 
 
Speakers for the evening were: Bill Erwin, "Bleeding Edge"; Steven Thorn, "Dating"; Holly Trinh, "Health Benefits of Honey" and Linda Coleman, "Meeting Roles & Responsibilities."
 
Tuesday night was my first opportunity as Toastmaster and let me say what a pleasure it was to work with all of you. Special thanks to those who responded to my emails and either confirmed or volunteered in a timely manner. Because of your professionalism and dedication to developing leadership skills and personal growth, the meeting was a great success. Our four visitors were very impressed with the supportive and positive learning environment we have. 
 
Thanks for a great experience.
