Mar 23: What you missed at last night's meeting . . .

What an incredible meeting! Of course we missed YOU, but guess what YOU missed! Only THREE new members, that's all!

Nick Colón, who visited us last week, decided to join this week, and he'll give his Ice Breaker speech very soon. DeWayne Ivey, whom you might remember from our Christmas party at Mi Cocina, came back to visit, and also joined tonight. Benson Varghese (say "Var Geese") came to us on the recommendation of a friend with advanced communication skills. She gave Toastmasters the credit, and Benson tracked us down to our website.

We're extremely excited to have them join our wonderful Afterburners family, and we want to introduce them to everyone. So come on, EVERYONE! Come back to celebrate our 24th Anniversary next week, March 30. There'll be food and fun (and probably some new member inductions), but most important is your opportunity to welcome these newcomers and share what Afterburners means to you.

The speaking schedule is posted on the website. As always, it's a living document, capable of changing to suit our members' needs. If you have a schedule conflict, let me know, or contact the Toastmaster for the meeting in question.

PS: As you can see from the photo above, we also got to see Tammy's temples, which was a first for most of us.
