Area Governor Denise installed the new executive and presented Annette with the "Toastmaster of the Year" trophy. This award is based on a points system. The points are earned by filling meeting roles, earning Toastmasters Awards, winning Contests, etc.

Another surprised trophy recipient was Dave, who won the President's Award, which is sometimes awarded to a Toastmaster who performs above and beyond their call of duty. Dave never misses a meeting. He is one of the first to arrive to help set up. He is always ready to fill in at the last moment, compete in a contest, or to mentor a new member.

The theme of the evening was "stripes," and people certainly came in different stripes!  Sharyn and Trish wore more stripes than anyone else.

We are thrilled that one our own members, Sharyn is to be Area Governor this year. Sharyn's effervescent personality is always evident at our meetings.

Her slogan for this year is "Formula Fun!"

Sharyn won a raffle prize

It was a memorable night. Toastmaster Trish entertained us with information about stripes and she had prepared a Trivia quiz that tested our lateral thinking as well as our knowledge.

John T and Nicole had some really challenging Table Topics for  Annette, Dave, Liz Wo, John S, Sharyn, Maureen, Trish & Harry.

Last year's book raffle was so popular, we repeated it this year. Everyone brought books - most of them pre read but in pristine condition. They were raffled in bundles of four or five and there were enough for 10 lucky winners.

Incoming President Liz We presented an inspiring speech. She spoke of the club's past achievements and  our aspirations as we approach our 40th year.

Our 2013 - 2014 Toastmasters year is off to a good start!
