Meeting Recap - November 19, 2009

Larry Everett served as TM with the theme "Thanksgiving, reflections - what you are thankful for?" Stacey Modahl served as the Table Topics Master, and did a wonderful job with selecting questions relating to the theme. Stacey also served as the Grammarian, with “humble” as the Word of the Day.

All of us were humbled with the wonderful, challenging, and entertaining speech given by Betty Liedtke. She gave her Keynote Speech from the recent District 6 Fall Conference, titled "In UNdistinguished Company." It was well received by all who were fortunate to hear her speak. Betty is a Distinguished Toastmaster, the highest award level in Toastmasters, and is a distinguished speaker.

Pamela Rediger evaluated Betty’s speech, and provided a gracious and positive evaluation, with good assessment of Betty’s topic and speaking ability.

Jean Keating filmed the speech given by Betty as well as selected parts of the meeting. This will help Betty to improve on her already superb speaking ability. We are fortunate to have such a talented person to tape presentations. Jean is a professional, and provided the back drop settings and the lighting to facilitate a taping of the presentation and meeting.
