The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Hi, Mudslingers,

We had such a great meeting yesterday with a great turnout.  In fact, I used the theme of our meeting for this post's title.  Our word of the day was participant and we sure did have a lot of participants in house yesterday. What a way to initiate our new meeting place in the Knowledge Center.  I would like to send a special thank you to our guests who helped make our meeting super special yesterday! It was really great to see you.

I would also like to recognize Mr. Nathan Rife, my mentoree, on completing his 3rd speech and earning his 3rd speech ribbon!  Nathan also was a very energetic Toastmaster at our meeting yesterday and was very entertaining.

We  had our group pictures taken yesterday! I thought every one looked pretty dapper and had some pearly whiteness going.

 I would also like to  introduce our club MudCam. It will be available at every meeting to record speeches  upon request for learning, educational, and sometimes, entertaining purposes (chuckle).

Thanks to all our participants who made our meeting a success yesterday!  Please be sure to sign up for roles next week to keep the spirit alive. Don't forget to get credit for your roles for your Competent Leader books. Be sure to record the date and have a member evaluate your performance.

Have a great, relaxing, and safe weekend! See you next Thursday, Mudslingers and guests.
