Business Meeting (Jim Akers presiding) President Akers announced that the club has acquired a new anodized aluminum easel for members using flipcharts in a speech. Many thanks to Vice President Education & Training Danny Pritchard for handling the transaction and for building a container to protect the easel from damage. Danny ingeniously crafted a container from a PVC fencepost with two end caps. Go Danny! A motion was made to include a 5-minute break between the speaking and evaluation segments of the meeting, as opposed to 1-minute intervals after each speaker. The concept had been in a 5-week test mode based upon a prior motion and the test period had elapsed. The motion was seconded, discussed, and carried by a vote of members present.

Speakers
Miscellaneous Guest Comments Feri Taba – Returning guest. Has decided to join the club. Recommended the use of name tags for all members, so guests would easily identify each members. Joke Meister – Ulrich Leinhase A man approaches a shepard and said, “I’ll bet you $100 to one of your sheep that I can tell you exactly how many sheep are in your entire flock.” The shepard, knowing how extensive and widespread his flock really was, readily accepted the bet. “742,” declared the man. “That’s amazing,” declared the shepard, “you win. But how’d you know that?” “I work for an organization that just knows such things,” said the man, as he picked up the shepard’s favorite animal and headed for his truck. “Hold on now,” said the shepard, “Can we do double or nothing if I can guess your occupation and your political affiliation?” “Sure,” declared the man, confident the shepard would not know. “You’re a government worker and a liberal Democrat.” “Wow, how’d you know that?” asked the man. “Well,” said the shepard, “if you’ll just put down my dog, I’ll explain it to you.” ▼ Announcements VP Education & Training Danny Pritchard has left two speaker slots open for volunteers at the December 21 meeting. If you’re interested in delivering a speech with a holiday theme, please contact Danny ASAP. If the slots remain unclaimed at the next meeting, they will be made available for other speeches. We have received a note of appreciation from Toastmaster Diana Marquez-Jaille for all the good wishes and kind thoughts expressed in the card from all of us. President Akers reminded members that there will be no meeting next week and wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Attendance 23 members and 1 guests Presiding Officer Jim Akers adjourned the meeting with a decidedly Presidential flourish at approximately 9:20 a.m. Another great meeting and a good time was had by all!
