May 22 our theme was "Tornado Alley," and this meeting blew all our expectations away!
Antoinette Silas as Toastmaster had all the opportunities covered in advance of the meeting, and our speakers covered a wide range of topics. First, Jodie Sanders brought us a module from the Successful Club Series addressing the Distinguished Club Program. Ryan Gallagher was up next with a side-splitting speech whose title is far too long to publish here, but it involved a yoga lady, a chiropractor, and some violent breathing exercises! Jim Hummel related an amazing and entertaining story about growing up with illegal fireworks, and an "expert" whose fingers mysteriously disappeared year after year. Finally, Gary Chiu gave us a sneak peek at the toast he will offer his brother and future sister-in-law at the upcoming nuptials this weekend. Can you imagine? A Toastmasters meeting that featured an actual TOAST!
We had four exhilarating guests visit with us, and were honored to have our outgoing Area Governor Brendan Bagnell in attendance as well. If you missed Toastmasters tonight, I can't imagine you had more fun than we did. Come back next week and see what you've been missing!
