06-23-05 Meeting Summary

Hope you all had a safe and happy 4th of July! Thanks to those who
attended last week's meeting; for those of you not able to attend, we
missed you. See you this week!

Toastmaster for the meeting was Mark H.; and the theme was "decision
making" - I think. Some agendas had "bonus" as the theme cleared this up
and made sure we all knew what was going on.

Jerry V. served as the timer for the meeting - 1st time!

Eddie K. was the Wordmaster; the word of the day was "procrastinate" -
something that I'm very good at. Why do you think you're receiving this
summary so late?

Betsy Schaller was the 1st speaker and this was her icebreaker speech. We
enjoyed getting to know B (born in St. Paul) - E (educated at Highland Park
and Gustavus Adolphus) - T (tender bones - very susceptible to fractures) -
S (for short and getting shorter due to her bone condition) and Y (she
enjoys working out at the YMCA).

Bill S. was the 2nd speaker and gave an inspirational speech about
getting out and enjoying the summer - hitting the vacation hot spots, such
as Disneyland or Las Vegas. There's lots of places to go and have fun, are
educational and a great way to make memories.

Table topics master was Laura C.; Kathy J., Marian J., and
Laura G. responded to a variety of questions about how to make a
decision.

Evalutors were Lori G. (Betsy) and Dave B. (Bill).

General Evaluator was Kim C and the meeting's spirit award was given
to Betsy S. for a great icebreaker speech - no notes and used visual
aids on her first speech!
