Sergeant at Arms, Bud Otto opened the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance, and then gave us This Day in History.  May 12^th is the birthday of Florence Nightingale who was born in 1820 and was a nurse in the Crimean War. 

·        Bud was also Toastmaster for the meeting, reviewed the roles for the meeting.

·        Anastasia Pass gave the word of the day: “Bloviating” meaning to “speak or write verbosely”. 

·        Bud reviewed the roles, and introduced our Table Topics master, Una Richards

·        Una’s theme for Table Topics was “Getting to Know You” where she presented members with questions about themselves.

·        Chris Ashkoati won best Table Topics with his response that his most prized possession was family. 

Chris then gave his speech that he will give at a wedding reception for a longtime friend.   Anastasia gave his evaluation along with input from other members.

 Members had a short discussion on how we could return to meeting at Campbell Stone.  Ideally, there would be a way that some members would attend in person, and others could attend on Zoom.  Jim Owen will be researching the best way to do that, and we will keep members updated.
