A Walk Down Memory Lane

With contest season drawing to a close this coming weekend at the District 25 conference, attendance was back up at our weekly meeting this past Saturday! Not only did we have a guest, we also gained a new member.

Shannon, the meeting's Toastmaster, chose High School Bands for the theme.  She took us all back to our high school days with most of us reminiscing about the instruments we played when we were younger.

Jodie gave a speech from the Speeches by Management manual.  She told us about the three new District 25 Toastmasters clubs that formed this past month!  A question and answer session followed her speech.  We all learned a little more about what goes into forming a brand new Toastmasters club.

During Table Topics, Aparna asked quite a variety of questions.  Judy demonstrated the drill team's walk that influenced her to try out for the drill team instead of playing an instrument.  Richard, our guest, told us about the instruments he dreamed about being able to play.  I gave my thoughts on what kids learn from being in a band.  Dan closed out the Table Topics portion of the meeting by telling us about the pride and joy he feels from his son's journey as a piano player.

It was a lively meeting and I'm looking forward to finishing out the year with this great group of Toasmasters!
