Mindfulness was the theme for the March 22, 2018 meeting.

Elucidate was the word of the day. We had an extended table topics session, thank to Cynthia P, on the mindfulness theme which meant that many Toastmasters had an opportunity to practice their impromptu speaking.

Nancy won table topics by talking about how yoga helps her be mindful about where she left her keys!

Hal S gave a riveting speech entitled Protecting our Democracy encouraging us to eliminate undue influences on our political system.

Winners this week:
Table Topics: Nancy J
Most Improved: Angelique H
