May 25: A very busy evening!

 President Pat Quick, new member Greg Geis, and VP Membership Bob Titiryn

Toastmaster Nick Colón presided over a slate of 5 (yes, FIVE!) speakers, using a streamlined agenda. Several members have committed to finishing their Competent Communicator goals before the end of June, so we will be hearing and making a lot of speeches before then. Linda Coleman won for best speech and Saraí Garcia was best evaluator. But everyone did a great job, especially Nick in his debut as Toastmaster!

Greg Geis was inducted into membership. He had just been an outstanding  Ah-Counter for the meeting, so we are excited to have him. Welcome, Greg!

In the monthly business meeting, new officers for 2010-2011 were elected. They will take office on July 1st.
President - Tammy Bailey
VP Education - Benson V
