Michelle
Bender, ACB, ALB was our Toastmaster who introduced the theme “Olympics” using
the athletes as an example of people who achieve their goal by being focused,
persistent and working hard. Sonja Sophie Loeffler led Table Topics and our
guest Richard Chamberlin won Best Table Topics speaker. Our General Evaluator
Mary Marasco led our evaluation team who gave us valuable feedback on time use,
filler words (“so” was the top filler word of the day) and grammar use. Best
Evaluator went to Shannon O’Connell, CC, CL and best speaker went to Rose
Abbott CC, ALB who presented an Advanced Speech from the Special Occasion
Speech Series - Project 1 “Mastering the Toast” the toast was given
in honor of Parsons Toastmasters Club 40 Year Anniversary.
