Theme: My favorite speeches
Alan was our toastmaster for the festivities. Business section: Elections
for officers, proposal of dues and mentorship on the ballot for next week.
WOD: Kerfuffle meaning confusion.
We had 1 guest, Brook.
Jennifer was speaker 1 with her speech income investing. Time for money to
grow-investment stock (example: Amazon). Income stock examples are banks
and utility company. These stocks pay out monthly or quarterly. To find
out if a company has paid out dividends and for how long you can go to
suredividends.com. Bear brings down stocks and he Bull throws up.
Minjun was speaker 2 with her speech Practice Makes Perfection.
5 why's is good for trouble shooting. Keep asking why like a 5 year old
and you will find out the root cause of an issue. % why's is not a perfect
tool. Fishbone diagram helped to solve a problem where a co worker lost
his fingertip duw to heavy equipment fell.
Susie as speaker 3 with her speech A Choice to Make.
"Jaime" was a manager at a company that I was employed at. He made fun of
the spaces in between my teeth in front of a female customer. The choice I
had to make was to throat punch him and risk loosing my job and going to
jail or ignore because you can't fix stupid. Eventually, he apologized and
I didn't go to jail or loose my job.

Pattie spoke about what speech made her laugh which was am ex nun at a
women's retreat. Kathleen spoke about what speech made her cry which was
