Attendance: 32 Attendees

We witnessed a packed house at tonight's gala Farewell Pizza Party for Paul Goldstein. With 32 speakers present, including 10 past Central Toastmasters presidents, former members and guests, it was no surprise that this evening's farewell to Paul turned into somewhat of a "celebrity roast". Paul was both glorified and disparaged by our eloquent speakers (18 total) this evening. From marriage advice to speaking tips and praise, Paul received his share of feedback tonight. Of course, he had an opportunity to reciprocate. Paul told an insightful story about how he eventually joined Toastmasters despite his efforts to eschew the organization. The pizza was awesome and the meeting was conducted in true Toastmaster style. On behalf of all the members of Central Toastmasters, we wish Paul Goldstein the very best in his future endeavors!

Central Toastmasters will be hosting the Humorous Speech Contest coming soon - more information TBA.

SPECIAL NOTES:

Cookouts are planned for July, August, and maybe September. These are a lot of fun and cost $5 each for the food.
A reminder to please buy a meal and/or drink at the meetings to help our club maintain the room availability.

Please make every effort to notify the Toastmaster of the evening well in advance if you are unable to fulfill your assigned role – it’s common courtesy and a sign of a Competent Toastmaster.

Notice to all Club Officers - please have a speech ready at all times so we can replace any no shows. This is a good practice for all Toastmasters as well – BE PREPARED!

Be sure to contact Therese Delongchamp (VP of Education) if you want to get on the schedule for a role or speech. Therese’s home phone is 508-797-0974.

If you have an e-mail address (home or work) and are still receiving the Bulletin via regular mail please contact Stan Birdwell (stan@ibdev.com) so we can add you to our e-mail distribution.

As always we meet at the Regency Suites on Southbridge Street in Worcester every Wednesday from 7:00 – 9:00 PM (except for outings which will be announced in advance – please see the schedule above)
