Annette congratulated Kerry

Kerry was greeted with rousing applause last meeting for her victory in the recent State Election.

Toastmaster Leesa kept the meeting running smoothly.

John introduced the word  "STARTLING." Later in the evening, he showed us what was startling about the word. By dropping one letter each time  can become:

Harry stepped in as Round Robin Master and asked each of us to give a mini  "acceptance speech" for an Academy Award. This brought some laughs.

Del continued the  theme with her Table Topics and asked Robert, Ernie, Maureen & Terry & Steve  (guests)
to speak on topics such as "How to accept an  award," Why should you recieve an award," "How to choose a winner," and "Are Academy Awards worthwhile?"
The Table Topics were evaluated by John.

Annette

Jonathon presented an inspirational speech, "Are you on the Right Bus?"  It was competently evaluated by Harry.

Dave

Dave entertained us with a spirited recitation of Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky.

One of our speakers was away, so a visiting Toastmaster, Terry filled in with a review of the movie "Heist."
