Congratulations to the following Toastmasters on their achievements…

Fred Nathan completed 10 C&L speeches to earn his CTM.
Maria Laba earned her 3 C&L speech pin.
George McKenna earned his 3 C&L speech pin.

We had another fun night and a good turnout for this busy time of the year. George Hast ran a well organized meeting and explained the various segments very clearly. Therese Delongchamp challenged us with some very creative table topics with a theme on "opinions" – which made for some very interesting speeches. We also had 4 very interesting prepared speeches from our Toastmasters working toward their CTMs.

Special Notes:

We have currently attained the "Distinguished Club" status and are well on our way to attaining the "President’s Distinguished Club" status (highest level) by June ‘2000.

If you have internet access check out the International Toastmasters web site – much new information has been added… http://www.toastmasters.org

We’d like to have a speech night in January based around a "theme". If you have any suggestions please bring them to the next meeting.

We made $230 for our club from the Christmas Social – great job by all…

As always we meet at the Regency Suites on Southbridge Street in Worcester every Wednesday from 7:00 – 9:00 PM. Come and join us for a fun time!

Be sure to contact Terry Londergan (VP of Education) if you want to get on the schedule for a role or speech. Terry’s home phone is 508-885-5526.

Remember to notify the Toastmaster of the evening well in advance if you are unable to perform a scheduled role. Be a responsible Toastmaster!
