Good Afternoon Front Range Toastmasters. It was a sweet Rocky Mountain High meeting last night as Lori High artfully led us through all the facts about SUGAR! Follow Lori's 80 / 20 rule and you will conquer the sugar beast. You don't even want to know how many teaspoons of sugar are in one soda. I say drink water. Our guest speaker Naomi Takeuchi gave us a speech packed full of International Flavor as she told us stories of her travels and visits to other Toastmaster Clubs around the world. She has made a lot of wonderful Toastmasters friends and drove home the point, "You're never alone or friendless if you're part of Toastmasters." Get out there people! Go visit other clubs and share the love. Bill Farrand brought his funny once again as he practiced his contest speech for TONIGHT! Great feedback, from Dana Moran Barnes suggestion to work the stage purposefully to Ray and Amelia encouraging Bill to wait for the laughs. I can't wait to see Bill slay it tonight along with Amelia and Adam! Katelynn did a fine job with her second evaluation ever! Her feedback for Kathy was direct, purposeful and filled with concrete examples. I could tell she attended the Evaluation Workshop put on by Dirk as she went over the objectives of the project and was able to tell us exactly what Kathy was working on. Keep up the good work Katelynn. I would tell you all about Kathy Barrett's speech but I don't want to ruin the surprise :o) You had to be there! Way to give a prize and take home a prize :o) Table Topics: From the Airplane Bone Yard's and Martians to Colette's long since passed ancestors preserved in stone ... it was Phil Wygonski who took home the prize by telling us all about his first and last day in the Navy. Way to sink the ship and take home the prize Wygonski! *TONIGHT:* *AREA CONTEST!!* *Location: Adams County EDC* * 12200 Pecos Street - Unit 100* * Westminster* *Time: The Contest starts at 6:30 PM SHARP* *Come and support our FRTM representatives!* Only at Front Range Toastmasters can you have guests almost every meeting, pack the house and talk about such varied topics.
