January 11th Meeting Notes We
kicked off the New Year with an excellent meeting. The theme for the evening was “Kids—Who
Needs Em?”. The Toastmaster for the
evening was Jacqueline. Jacqueline
started the meeting by introducing Joe as the Joke Master of the day. The Word Master of the day was Thaine and
the word of the day was neologism.
Some members and guests did an excellent job including the word of the
day throughout the speeches, evaluations, and table topics. There
were three prepared speeches for the evening.
Each of the speeches provided information on the theme topic of the evening. Susan went first with a speech titled “The
Rock Dove.” She definitely provided some great information on true facts and
some of the positive aspects of having kids.

Occasionally Four) Spinning Disks of the Apocalypse.” He certainly did a great job on providing a
funny approach to the nuisance of baby strollers. Russ delivered the evaluation for Thaine’s
speech. In

Best Christmas Ever.” Her evaluation
