25 November 2008

Holiday season 2008 is upon us! I have been visiting with family. These meeting minutes are brought to you by Ann. Thank you, Ann, for covering for me while I was gone for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Speaking of Thanksgiving, that was the theme for this meeting. Theo was the Toast Master.

Here are the minutes:

Attending: Bud, Kelly, Jane, Tony, Lee, Mark, Daohua, Stephanie, Tryphine, Ann, and special guest, Neil Gavande.

Bud opened the meeting promptly at 6:30 AM.

The Toast Master for the day was running late that day, so Ann took over as Toast Master and introduced the first speaker. Still running late, Theo was covered for by another attendee, Tony, who introduced the second speaker.

Speeches at this meeting:

1) Kelly Brant, "Who am I?" A very interesting and entertaining speech.

2) Jane, " A radio talk show presentation on the Second Harvest Food Bank"; Daohua assisted Jane in presenting this speech as a real live radio broadcast in progress.
