Lazy Days of Summer Continued.....

It is true that our meetings at Prairie Schooners Toastmasters are every another week during the summer months, but this does not dampen our enthusiasm!!  Can't wait for our July 24th meeting....looking forward to some great speech and fun interaction with the group.  :)

Lazy Days of Summer

Lazy eh!  Well I think this really sums up the summer so far.  I just haven't been able to get in front of a computer to tell you what has been happening over the last few weeks.

We have slowed down our meetings over the summer and are now meeting twice a month in July and August instead of every week.  I think we are all a little lazy and would rather be out during the beautiful summer days we have been having instead of being in a boardroom developing of communication and leadership skills.  There will be plenty of time for that when we resume weekly meetings in September.

Things to note, at least as much as my memory will allow.  We have had a few new members join since my last post and with these new members were induction ceremonies.  We also went out for lunch and installed the new club officers.  We ended the year with a bang, receiving Presidents Distinguished status.  This status is awarded to clubs that achieve at least 9 of the 10 goals set by Toastmasters International in their Distinguished Club Plan.  The current executive has committed to reaching the same status next year.

We also had a pot luck BBQ, which was rained out.  We went ahead anyway (inside though) and enjoyed good food and friendship.  I think everyone had a good time.  At least it seems that way judging from the pictures taken at the event.  Mossy on over to our Facebook page to see for yourself.  The link is at the top of the page.

Stay tuned for more updates but remember we are in the lazy days of summer.

Bye for now, I have to go have a nap on the deck.
