Oct 6 meeting: "World War II"

The above was the theme of the meeting, not a description of it. Pinch-hitting toastmaster Tony Morris moderated a peaceful meeting, in spite of all the talk of war. It was nice to see a few faces that have been missing of late.

New member Hunter Allen's icebreaker "Businessman" was the highlight of the evening and won for best speech. First-time speech evaluator Rodney King won the red ribbon for his thoughtful critique of one of our younger members. Gary Chiu, as usual, had some creative table topics that got good responses; all were timed at over one minute. Jodie Sanders took that prize for her Eva Braun (after-the-first-date-with-Adolf-you-know-who) impersonation.

A pleasant surprise ended the meeting. A big thank you to Theresa Eller, who brought us bread pudding for a treat! It was yummy!
