This week’s Seattle Sunrise Toastmasters was a lot of fun!
Katey R (formerly N) was Toastmaster and her new husband Jerry one of our three guests. (Joan and Juvenal were also in attendance and we hope to see them back again soon.) Turns out we were very fortunate to have Katey with us because she came [ ] this close to winning millions in the Powerball lottery. However, gracious as ever, she agreed to split the money she did with the membership. [Note to Katey, I left before I got to collect my 23 cents. Catch you next week!]

Apologies that this is late. We had some difficulties with getting the summary for this meeting, but here is the agenda.

The last meeting of the Seattle Sunrise Toastmasters was small but still ended the year with a bang rather than a whisper. Tom B. filled the role of Toastmaster for the first time and did a great—and as Peter noted, imminently pleasant—job as host for our meeting.

Our speakers were Alexa, Marti, and Valerie, with Peter jumping in with an impromptu speech in the #3 position to fill a vacancy left by another member who had to cancel.

First up, Alexa gave her Ice Breaker, “Oral Story Telling,” in which she recollected how she developed a love of oral story telling. Although she had enjoyed the mythology stories her father told as a child, up until being encouraged to take a class in radio, the oral medium had left her cold. Once she gave it a chance, however, she was hooked and has developed a passion for podcasts like This American Life. Great ice-breaker, Alexa and congratulations!
