We heard wonderful speeches last night from some spectacular speakers! We heard an inspirational and motivational speech by our newest member, Pablo Villenueva as well as a great speech from Aileen Hummel about the 99s club which is a private club for female pilots. Danny McKesson told us all about his dream to be in a real demolition derby and he did not disappoint. Bill Erwin told us all about his TLD (Tall Like Dad) syndrome and Jim Hummel spoke about Israel and the different religions that live there. Richard Patton spoke about who he was and what his life has been like up to this point and gave us some geneaology to boot while Jennifer Frank finished it up with a speech about her success in quitting smoking. Not only was this a speech to inspire the audience, which she hopes it did, it was also her 10th and final speech of the Competent Communicator's manual and she received her CC badge!!! W00T!!
We had so much fun and even had some visitors. We also inducted a new member, Danielle Dubose and Jennifer Frank's brother Mike Talbert and her parents, Elaine and Mack Talbert. We had a fabuloso time and plan on many more wonderful speeches at Afterburners Toastmasters.
