Team Mudslingers Rolling On!

What another great meeting we had yesterday! We had another great turn out and all of us showed up ready to participate and cheer on our club members as they continue to chip away at their goals. We really lived up to our ongoing theme of Teamwork and learned a new word of the day, parergon. Parergon is the work that is undertaken in addition to one's principal work. It was a hard word to remember yesterday, but an easy word to apply to our lives especially as Toastmasters!

What is not easy to forget is seeing guests at our meeting and we had 5 yesterday!  I hope the guests know how much we appreciate new faces in the crowd.

A few of our guests! 

And we could never forget the many accomplishments of our members.  Up for recognition yesterday were our President, Beth Prasek, and Sashi Metthath for achieving their Competent Communicator certifications; Stephen Rabke earned his 1st and 2nd speech ribbons AND his 100% Toastmaster badge; V.P of P.R, Nathan Rife, earned his 4th and 5th speech ribbons; and Eric Ngo, a very new member, earned his Ice Breaker speech ribbon! Congratulations!  We are all very proud of you.

Other noteworthy appearances were that of Mario Bouguetta who doubled up on first-time roles as humorist and Table Topics presenter (uh, wow!),  Secretary Treasuere Matina Chambliss delivered a great evaluation of Nathan Rife's speech, and Sergeant of Arms Patrick Tycznski delivered a solid performance as Ah Counter/Grammarian.  As always a very special thanks to all who conduct roles. It really helps makes the meetings more successful and enjoyable.

Have a great weekend, Toastmasters! You deserve it.
