They all serve as great topics for Toastmaster speeches! Congratulations to Earl Allen who won best speech of the night with his “Don’t use the Force, Luke” speech. It’s always good to refer to Star Wars, especially when your speech evaluator, who happened to win the Best Evaluator, is named Luke. Reminder to future speakers, bringing food samples is encouraged! Lisa Marty brought some superb premium chocolate samples. Yum-yum!! I decided to run home to burn off the extra calories. Lori Hugh, Toastmaster of the night, showed us how it is done with her “Reaping What You Sow” theme. Naturally the word of the day, agrarian, was farmer related. Those who used the word that night left others in the dirt. Elizabeth Vidmar wowed us once again with her table topics discussion of how to spend extra money. Elizabeth, as an employee of Xcel Energy, I am sorry to hear about that Xcel bill. It really is a great value, though, LOL! We will see you all Thursday!!
