We would like to give a hearty welcome back to our returning member, Richard O’Hearn of Edward Jones.
Michael Welsch was our Toastmaster of the day leading us down a twisting and turning literary path as we discussed great authors that we love and hate. His theme carried into our table topics lead by one of our newer members Lori Tobias, who just happens to be an author herself! Anjanette Baker took home the table topics trophy by regaling us with her favorite trout dinner served up on a virtual trip to Spain where they literally serve fresh trout caught upon order.
Dave Coffman was our speaker of the day. He gave us the first edition of his contest speech “Half the Man I used to Be”. It was a weighty speech to be sure but he made light of the topic as he stripped away all doubts and shed his outer clothing revealing the new Dave Coffman.
Marisa Litz did a wonderful evaluation of Dave’s speech. Praising him where he did well and offering excellent advice on where he can stretch and give “more” of himself to help people relate to the difficulty of losing over 240 pounds.
LOUT was the word of the day. Peter Boris, as our Grammarian, counted ummms and ahhhs as well as word of the day and other colorful language.
Finally, Liamons Osis, our long time member, imparted wisdom, advice and humor as General Evaluator. He gently reproved our Toastmaster where he was ill prepared and gave advice to all where we as a club can improve.
