Great recap. I'm honored.

For newer members, more diligent past Secretaries of the club would send
out a “You should have been there” email after every meeting. I have been
entirely negligent in that regard, but since last night was such a singular
meeting, I was moved to put one out. It was a low attendance meeting (just
six in person and two on-line, but it was most remarkable in that for I
think the first time in all the years that I have been coming to Front
Range Toastmasters this was the first one in which not one member of the
weaker sex was in attendance (come on, you know I couldn’t resist using
that anachronistic term… is “fairer sex” any better???), that’s right, just
guys there last night. I won’t go into details about some of the
discussions because the dictum holds that “what happens in the meeting,
stays in the meeting”.
Luis did a great job as Toastmaster and though we just had one speaker,
Luis had some discussion points and an informal theme emerged about ways to
avoid stress. We all agreed that the meeting was less stressful without any
women around (again, I kid, I kid).
Jeff was our one speaker with a very humorous and yet revealing speech. He
would have been the Best Speaker, but he regrettably (but perhaps
predictably) went over time.
Your humble scribe was Table Topics Master and I had some hard hitting,
but hopefully humorous questions and folks did great. George was voted as
Best Table Topics.
Robin was the sole Evaluator and he managed to stay on time so he won the
Best Evaluator award.
So that was the night in a nutshell… see you all at an upcoming meeting
(and to the women in the club, please don't throw rotten tomatoes at me
when you see me again!).
Your most humble Club Secretary, Bill
