Dues are due by March 31!
Parking at
Campbell-Stone: It is ok to park in both Resident AND Visitor parking but NOT spaces marked RESERVED! We are officially seeking a new location for
our club meetings!
The month of June is
officer election month with a formal change over July 1. Be thinking about
filling an officer role!
March
21, 2019 Meeting Recap and Role Assignments for March 28
Sergeant-at-arms,
Bud Otto was out of town this week. Jim Owen, Vice-President of Membership as
well as Secretary, served as Toastmaster for the day calling the meeting to
order at 7 AM.
Paige
Kerr, President, introduced our guest speaker, Addison Greenberg. Thirteen
years old, she won the first round of the Optimist Oratorical contest held two
weeks ago. Paige Kerr and Crystal Reeves were judges at this event. Addison won
this same contest two years ago and presented to our club at that time as well.
Addison delivered her powerful speech: Is there a fine line between
optimism and reality? Addison was open to group feedback. Members
applauded her speech construction and passion and counseled her on pace and
pitch. Overall, the speech received very high marks!
Jim
Owen then led us through our normal agenda.
Paige
made additional comments noting that our Vice President of Education, Una
Richards has been carefully tracking our activities; we are very close to
achieving Distinguished Club status. Paige also reminded everyone to pay dues
by March 31. Finally, Paige told members that the parking lot adjacent to
Campbell-Stone is not open to us; she has been working with property management
but they would not budge as they have added tenants that need the parking. We
are officially looking for a new space. Paige has been working the options.
Should you have an idea, please contact Paige at 704.995.6695.
Jim
assigned all the remaining roles.
Magdalena
Raj gave the word for the day: mellifluous meaning a sound that is sweet and
smooth and pleasant to hear.
Jim
turned over to the Table Topics Master for the day, Wright Paulk. Wright had a
wide variety of interesting questions and his humor added to the fun session.
Questions included: If offered, would you choose peanut butter crackers or
filet mignon? Are you looking forward to football season? And, what do you
think about the 1% tax for future transportation that was recently rejected?
Alan McGee won with his answer about his best source of news: yahoo and tiger.net.
Note to all: these Clemson fans are nuts!
After
the break, Crystal Reeves introduced Alan McGee who delivered an impromptu
speech about interviewing for a job with five easy steps to take that would
guarantee success. Alan had fun with the group role playing as leader of a
seminar session and members were “paying” seminar attendees. Crystal
provided an evaluation of Alan’s speech.
The
roles for next week were reviewed and the meeting was adjourned.
