It was a dark and stormy night...
In spite of the bad weather, nearly everyone managed to attend the meeting. Special thanks to our friends from other Toastmasters clubs, Chris, Mark, Suresh, Sue, and Jenny who came to judge the contests, and to David who was Test Speaker for the Evaluation Contest.
