Whisenant's birthday, complete with delectable chocolate cake. We would like
to celebrate your birthday when it comes around. If you have not already,
please email your birthday information to Mary Montgomery and she will post
it on our website calendar. CELEBRATION! Lark did a Golden job as
Toastmaster today, weaving her wonderful energy into the theme:
Celebration! And
true to form, Bill Whisenant kicked off our meeting with a rousing song.
This time he practiced with whoever arrived early in the Library parking lot!
Thus, about half of our members were upfront singing "Celebrate!" to
kick off our meeting. YAHOO! SPEECHES Speaker
#1: Jaime Roquebert:
Speech#5: "Fast Forward"
Jaime wowed us again with
yet another fantastic, inspiring speech. He started out asking us to close
our eyes and made us think what has happened in our lives from 1988 to the
present. Then he shared a moving story of a Polish man who suffered from a
coma between 1988 and 2007, his wife caring for him the entire time.
Speaker
