Greetings Fellow Toastmasters,
There were 12 members and no guests. Jonathan Kolber was our toastmaster
and his theme was UFO's. Are UFO's real? Blowback. Seth Shostak.
Highlights from the evening
1. Jennifer Dunne speaking on MOUBI. Abstract speech. Universal in that
everyone gets it. Gestures with bigger and bigger. Descriptive
vocabulary.
2. Bill Farrand was quiz master and he commented with "I like to sleep
during meetings".
3. Luis Estrada was grammarian. Great WOD with Euphoria. At the end of
the report, he thought the meeting was great and the only way it could have
been better was to have violins playing.
4. Table Topics master was Ray Pezolt with great questions all relating to
UFO's. Dirk with Aliens pushing Santa into a UFO in his front yard.
Colette with "me being me" Robin with unidentified flipping object.
5. Issac with first time being timer joker and he was also gesture master.
6. Richa Acharya was our GE and she was amazing with her feedback on the
meeting and on individuals.

Final Thoughts for the Day.
It was another great meeting with everyone engaged. Everyone in the
meeting participated in table topics. Both speakers with Jennifer and
Kathleen delivered their speeches with confidence. Most of the meetings
moves along very quickly and the time seems to fly by. This was no
exception. Next week's meeting should be another great one. Kathleen
Jewby will be our toastmaster and she's going to squeeze an entire meeting
into one hour. Dirk is giving a work shop in the second hour. Should be
awesome, interesting, and fun. Until next week, I am your humble secretary.
