Meeting Highlights: Oscar Movies Was the Theme 40th Anniversary Committee Was Recognized By the "Academy"
Highlights from
our last meeting – Members were
challenged to use the word of the day disparity: different from each other

elements. Toastmaster Nancy Huang led our meeting and introduced our theme
Oscar Movies, Kristin Blomstrom led our evaluation team: Sonja Sophie, Michelle
Bender, Mary Marasco, Andy Tien and Vardan Gazarian who gave valuable feedback
to our members and guests. Pam Tartaglio presented CC speech #2 “How I Lost
Weight” and met her objective of presenting an organized speech. Shannon
O’Connell presented advanced speech “Do’s & Don’ts of Performance” which
was both entertaining and informative. Table Topic Master Krystal Rose invited
our guests to practice speaking without preparation. Best awards were presented
