Rewind and Fast Forward

5.30.14 Rewind . . . Congratulations to Summer for weaving together an exceptional and purposeful meeting, while serving as a first-time Toastmaster.  Her quotes from poet Brian Andreas set an inspiring tone and served as great transitions throughout the meeting.  Alvin Powell, humorously gave us insight into marriage and childbirth in his “Thirty Years and Counting” speech. Lanre Adefolau’s “It’s Different This Time” presentation was his third and final speech at Sunrise Toastmasters.  (Lanre, thank you for contribution to our club.  Your participation, smile, humor and insight will sincerely be missed.)  Dramaine Freeman led a summer filled Table Topics; The subject inspired laughter and day dreaming of great warm weather activities.  Thank you to Dave Burr for leading the evaluation portion of our meeting.  Additionally, thank you to Joe Stack, Phil Stringer, and Ying Na for supporting in evaluation roles.  Paraphrasing Dave, our meeting today was “professional AND personable”.  We had a total of 11 members and 2 visitors in attendance; Once again, we welcome Griselda Flores and Rachael Adefolaju.

 

We hope to see our missing members next week:       Esther, Mike, Steve and Tom.
