Paul Johnson was our Toastmaster tonight.
We had an outstanding meeting with nine people attending, including: Sandy Marthaler, Eric Dunham, Caroline Nguyen, Bill Morgan, Joel Stevenson, Joanna Knott, Michele Rose-O’Brien, and our guest Ken Hobbick.
Three speeches were given – Joanna Knott presented “A New CRM”, Bill Morgan spoke of his son Sean in “Cornerstone”, and Michele Rose-O’Brien won Best Speech with “Trying Times of Transition”. As usual, lots of notes were taken during Michele and Joanna’s speeches as lots of good general business knowledge was imparted to an eager audience.
Sandy Marthaler was an outstanding Table Topics Master, with her brilliant idea of having the participants pick quotes on Aging, Beauty or Life. Paul Johnson’s impromptu take on eating and sleep made everyone laugh and think as well, and he won top prize as Best Table Topic. Joanna Knott, Joel Stevenson, Caroline Nguyen, Eric Dunham and our guest Ken Hobbick also participated.
Sandy Marthaler evaluated Joanna Knott’s speech. Caroline Nguyen – in her first evaluation ever – reviewed Bill Morgan’s speech. Eric Dunham evaluated Michele O’Brien’s speech, and he earned accolades as the Best Evaluator.
Joanna Knott, CC, VP of Education, wrapped up the meeting. She encouraged those who are close to push to finish up their Competent Communicator awards before June ends. She noted that the club has already achieved President’s Distinguished club status, but it could achieve even more this year. And last but certainly not least, Joanna recognized Paul Johnson, CC, for earning his Competent Communicator.
