Bonus Word of the Day – Salmagundi – a mixed salad of various ingredients such as meat, poultry, fish & vegetables arranged in rows on a platter; a mixture or miscellany

JC Campana would rather get the 10 cents from his wife than use the word of the day.

Ambrosia would be the Guiness & the pizza.

Hey All Voyagers,

I am happy to say that the Area 12 & 14 International Speech and Evaluation Contest was a big success! Our very own Michel Scharff placed 2nd in the speech contest with his heartfelt speech of EMMA’S STORY. The crowd was certainly entertained, and were treated to a well polished and professional speech! And in the event that the winner, Jim Tucker, will not be able to compete, Michel will again compete in the Regional Contest, May 8th. Matt Slater, also did a wonderful job competing in the evaluation contest. Your detailed and thorough evaluation was sure a winner. Thank you for the leadership you provide for us. Thank you so much for stepping in for Rob Latimer and representing our club with a fantastic evaluation!

If you missed the contest – please mark your calendar for the next one which will be on May 8th at City College. The competition gets tough, and it’s a fantastic opportunity to see the next step in competition.

April 29th.

Fellow Voyagers,

On April 29, our guest speaker Norbert Haupt gave a speech called I’m a Bookstore Mooch. CEO by day, and Blooger and Artist by night, he enjoys writing book and movie reviews and describes himself as critical thinker who often writes on current issues as well.

Many of you asked for his website. Since he also wrote a blog on his visit to Toastmasters, I thought I’d pass on the website to you. Take a look, and drop a note, or visit the rest of the website.

Thanks again for welcoming him as our Guest Speaker. Next week, Jim Tucker, winner of the Area 12 Contest will be giving us his speech. You don’t want to miss this meeting, nor the opportunity to learn from a world class speaker!

And of course, don’t forget to mark your calendars for May 27 when Sheryl Roush comes to our club with her Sparkle Presentations workshop.
