Meeting 901 "Pets"

Jazzi Rose

The theme of our meeting was "Pets," so I couldn't resist showing you Leesa's new pup, Jazzi Rose. Now for the meeting itself....

 Trish opened the meeting, in the absence of our president Annette and handed control to Toastmaster for the evening, Marlene.

Maureen was prepared

Our Wordmaster was not present, but Maureen was prepared and presented the word "Excogitate," meaning "to think out, or to study intently and carefully in order to grasp or comprehend fully" It is so good when members come prepared to fill in where needed!

Why I Do What I Do - Great Toastmaster's Speech

This speech recording was made some time ago, but it's well worth revisiting. If you missed it the first time, what do you think?


How many people can honestly say they love what they do? How many people actually know "WHY" they do what they do in life?
This speech offers an explanation about why it is so important to know you "WHY" and to make sure you do what you love.
