highway built. Man is afraid of flying. Genie says I don't know if I can
do that. Is there anything else I can help you with? Man asks can you

Ribbon Winners:
Best HAT. Kathy Barrett. *(Mental note to myself. Food, crying, and
singing tends to win ribbons). *
Best Evaluator. Richa Acharya
Best Table Topics. Adam Vesely
Best Speech. (drum roll please. . .. Alan Wong)
Luis did an awesome job as toastmaster. The theme on HATS was fun and
entertaining. Excellent job Luis. Robin was amazing with his "crafty"
questions for Table Topics. Excellent job Robin. There were 16 members
with 2 returning members as guests. I did win the speech ribbon but it was
out of default. If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear
it, does it make a noise? If there's only one speaker and he falls in the
forest, does anyone laugh? My guess is yes because I have a ribbon to show
for it. Thank you very much.
Congratulations to all the ribbon winners and to everyone that
participated. Dirk is right. . this really is the best Toastmasters club
in Colorado.
Until next week, I am your humble secretary.
Alan Wong
