Executive Committee Meeting Update

Hey Buffalo!

The Executive Committe for the new 2010 and 2011 year met today at Atlanta Bread Company in Lakewood. We had a very productive meeting and look forward to working with the club this coming year. We will continually provide updates regarding our progress toward Distingued Club and will be implementing the feedback you provided in the Survey.

Thanks again to Caroline for the Survey as well as all the great responses from club members. We greatly appreciate your enthusiasm and interest in making this a better club! Thanks to Pamela for putting together a great Ex Com. meeting as President!

It's going to be a great year! Let's make the first meeting a great one and lead off the year right!

Buffalo Toastmasters Meeting; June 2, 2010

Hi all,

We had another great meeting on Wednesday. We have so many new members and new personalities, it really adds a lot to the group.

We started the meeting off with our annual Executive Committee elections. I was happy to be elected Treasurer this coming year. Last year I participated as Secretary and I really enjoyed being a part of the meetings and interacting with the group on a different level.

Following the elections Christine, a new member, presented us with the most entertaining Table Topics I have witnessed. It was hilarious. Each participant created a story of how they were taking over our pretend business. The stories were all connected and build off of each other. I was very impressed at the story tellers' talent, and a little frightened by some of their ideas!

We also had speeches from Darrlye and Tim. They are both natural speakers and alwaya have interesting subjects to present. Tim explained to us the details and information needed to be a successful photographer. He also shared some of his own photos, he definitely has a talent!
Darryle shared a 'folk story' with us, it was extremely entertaining. I was drawn in right from the start. He is a talented speaker and it is always a treat to hear one of his speeches!

It was a fun meeting, as always. Next month we will be having our summer picnic, July 21. It should be a blast: food and Table Topics!

That is all for now!

Caroline
