Good morning Front Range Toastmasters,

Dirk is still out with a whacky back so here it goes ... this weeks' recap.

Rob Traver, first time Toastmaster, Dreamer and Traveler led us expertly
through some of the top vacation destinations.  The meeting was jam packed
and included exotic locations such as Beijing, Paris, Prague and Rome.

There were two speakers but one went over time and was disqualified from
the running for failing to deplane in time.  Congratulations to Deb who won
best speaker with just her second speech.  If you want to learn how to win
in Vegas or anywhere really talk to Deb.  She has the formula down!

Table Topics ... what can be said about Feliks Melamed?  He led us expertly
and once we deplaned and got over our case of the groans we had a blast in
a variety of locations.  Out came the numbers and the map and we all took
turns explaining why we wanted to go to our selected locations.  Who was
the winner?  Why I'm so glad you asked .... It was Ray Pezolt who best
responded by not responding to the question really at all.  It had
something to do with kilts n such ... can you guess where he was suppose to
take us?

Evaluators were detailed and gave great examples of what worked and what
didn't.  Great job to both Jeff Stoll, first time evaluator, and Lori High,
our resident expert.  These wonderful folks were led by the General
Evaluator, Shonnie Cline.  This was also Shonnie's first crack at GE and
she really did shine.  From giving detailed and valuable feedback to the
Evaluators and calling on reports ... Shonnie didn't miss a beat or a
joke.  The winner in this section?  Why it was Lori High who taught how
important sticking to the project objectives can be ... she certainly
schooled me. [?]

Great lessons were learned by all who attended.  From where to travel, how
to deplane and beyond. Grab your passports folks.  Who knows where next
week will take us.

See everyone next week.


Sincerely,

Colette Smith
