Last week, Speak Up Toastmasters held their annual summer picnic, kicking off a brand new season.

Shirley Malone gave a speech called "Snap Shots of My Life." She created beautiful word pictures that made it easy for the audience to picture just how life was for her growing up in the days when grandma still churned butter.

Eva Miller evaluated the 25-year Toastmaster veteran, proclaiming that it was the best speech she had ever heard Malone give. It was truly riveting; she had the audience at the edge of their seats.

Patrick Olson led the members and guests in our favorite portion of the meeting, table topics, by asking questions about their favorite outdoor activities. There was a wide range of answers for all the questions that Olson had.

Toastmaster members provided food for fellow members, family, and guests who cheered on our presenters for the evening. As always, food, fun education, guests and members make a great combination.

If you are interested in excelling in your career, give Toastmasters a try.  The best value for your dollar is available to you right here in Genesee County. Wouldn't you like to go from 0 - 100?

The next meeting is on Sept. 11th at 190 Oak St. in Batavia at 7 p.m. We are accepting applications now. Hurry, seats fill up fast. Guests are always welcome to sit in on a meeting.
