Evaluated By |
|
Filomena Didiano |
"Who Am I and Why Am I Here" |
Dick Brady |

C&L Speech #1 - Filomena posed three believable facts about herself, only one of which, however, was true. In describing herself, her life and her aspirations, she eventually revealed the mystery. |
|
Wayne Dupont |
"Earth In The Balance" |
Gene Brady |
|
Advanced Speech #3 - Wayne talked about how environmental issues are a real concern, how people have responded to environmental crises in the past and how we should respond in the future. Conserve NOT consume! |
|
Darren LaCroix |
"Laugh and Grow Rich" |
George Hast |
|
Guest Speaker - Darren entertained us with tidbits from his latest book "Laugh and Grow Rich - How to Profit from Humor in Any Business". |

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.
