Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
We have a slate of officers for the new Toastmasters year beginning on July 1. Our President, TM Aleta, wil make the announcement at the right time. Thank you for everyone who stepped up to fill a role.
Several in the group announced they were short of sleep due to jet lag or plain insomnia. Nonetheless, they all showed up. Bravo!!!
TM Cory led us in Table Topics based on the movie Inside Out and its 11-year-old star Reilly's assortment of emotions.
* TM Pam is not a theme park person but a tree person and combined both by admiring native plants in Universal. She's looking for a weeping wipon holly. She Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Veronica does not like to feel disgusted and only felt it when there were no Florida panthers at Flamingo Park. Sniffff.
* TM Christine suffered embarassment when her underwear's crotch got eaten by her dog during a tennis match. Game set.
* TM Jorge suffers frustration as a formerly lunatic driver who now drives among lunatic Miami drivers.
* TM Aleta has carried guilt for years because someone got blamed for a nasty incident Aleta started at her high school cafeteria. True confessions!
* TM David is not a fan of surprises but got pleasantly surprised when his sister showed up at his doorstep on a visit from France.
Then came the prepared speeches...
* TM Christine rehearsed a humorous speech to be presented at a church in Wisconsin while eating a slab of Wisconsiin cheese.
* DTM Mary Helen showed her zest for adventure while exploring Broward County's bus service which led her to walk across half the city for lack of a better bus. She Won Best Speaker Award.
Then we had some great evaluations...
* TM Jose gave some helpful tips to TM Christine and commended her for standing up in front of the camera. He Won Best Evaluator Award.
* TM The Tom earnestly urged DTM Mary Helen to take an uber home from the car mechanic next time.
