Great meeting as always - what great speeches. John and Leanne were so encouraging to get fitter and discover your true heart!
ReplyDeleteWhile Paul was so observant into the speeches, Casey looked a bit bored. (Note to oneself, the photographer can take photos anytime. So SMILE the whole time.)
What a great idea for the round robin to have a prop and use it to pass on - not only did it help to speak, but also helped to know whose turn it was! Well done, Chris!
