Greetings Fellow Toastmasters,
There were 12 members in attendance and no guests.
Bill Farrand was our toastmaster for the evening and the theme was 1969
which coincides with the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11.

Highlights from the evening

1.  There were three speakers.
Alan Wong:  What if I sketched with a little more effort.

The 2nd speaker was Katelynn Pau on mentoring, protege's and men tees.
The 3rd speaker was Dirk Kittridge; nunchucks, knee caps, and bad guys do
not always win.

2.  Great word of the day by Monica Warstler with DISINTER.

3.  Robin McIntosh was Table Topics Master.  Great questions and he gave
commentary's on each member after they answered his question.  His response
was immediate and I would think not as easy as he made it out to be.  Some
of the questions that related to the theme of 1969.  12 Jan 1969  Superbowl
III.  14 July 1969 large denomination bills withdrawn.  17 December 1969
project blue book.

4.  Kathleen Jewby was first time General Evaluator and she was a pro.  She
mentioned the elephant in the room which was easy speak.  She gave great
feedback on Robin for table topics and for his active listening skills. My
vote to Kathleen for dressing the theme with the most colorful pants I've
ever seen and did anyone notice her big and shiny peace sign she wore
around her neck?  So awesome.  And she ended her role with it was a groovy
meeting.  Peace.  And honorary mention to Dirk Kittredge for wearing blue
suede shoes.

5.  Picnic at the Park meeting on 15 August.

Ribbon Winners:
Best Evaluator:  Lori High on Dirk Kittredge.  Great story telling, great
character development in a very short time.
Best Table Topics:  Kathleen Jewby:  I'm a slob.
Best Speaker:  Alan Wong:  I now get to talk about Robin.  I hate the
attention.  What if I move with purpose.

Final Thoughts for the evening:
Issac Ramirez first time evaluator on Katelynn.  He's growing right before
our eyes.  Luis Estrada with his great joke.  Liver her alone, Cheese
mine.
Robin talked about toastmasters many times before I decided to look into
toastmasters for myself.  I remember telling him I think I found a club
that fits into my time schedule and Robin says to me "do you want me to
come with you?" even though he was already a member at another club.  What
a great friend.  My first impression was they must dress up every week.
(it was Halloween).  And my second impression was that everyone was so
talented.  If only I could be just like them.  Robin and I joined the club
the following week.  And because everyone was not in costume, I did not
recognize anyone the following week.  Robin and I should have worn a
costume the next week, that would have been funny.  Almost 3 years later,
the talent in our club is still amazing to me.  Thank you to every member
for helping me grow just a little.  I end with a quote by Jack Welch.
Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself.  When you
become a leader, success is all about growing others.
Until next week.  I am your humble secretary
Alan Wong
