The meeting started at 7:30 a.m., with 2 guests, Denise W (wife of Denny) and Dori (guest of Mike). The word of the day was "Inscrutable", which our meeting was anything but. Makela told us an engrossing story as the anchor for her speech. Rebecca shared an African proverb as the basis for her speech. Mike told us stories of marketing successes in his speech. During the meeting, yet another guest, Christine arrived.

Ed will miss 4 meetings, but handed out the Officers manuals for the new officers. President, Michelle will schedule a board meeting next week and send an email.

Articulators Meeting on February 21, 2006




























These photographs are from an Articulators Club 6193 meeting on February 21, 2006. At that time the club was meeting in a Real Estate office in Longwood. Some of the members in these photos are still active in the club. Over the course of time the faces and locations of a club can change. However, the mission of the club remains the same.

"The mission of a Toastmasters club is to provide a mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which every individual member has the opportunity to develop oral communication and leadership skills, which in turn foster self-confidence and personal growth."

These pictures attest to the friendship and fun Articulators create and share at meetings!
