SAA John Harman opened meeting and turned control to President Christy Gardner.  She explained what this 5th Thursday meeting is about; opportunity for club members to deliver speeches to get one more speech closer to completing either Competent Communicator or Advance level manuals. Tonight there will only be speakers and evaluators! 
As Toastmaster of the Evening, Janet Krenn then had the pleasure of introducing speakers and evaluators.  First speaker for the evening, Christy Gardner, spoke from an advance manual with her topic of "coaching problem employees".  Lauren White and Curtis Lassiter both delivered speeches that were to persuade audience to some kind of action.  Lauren motivated audience to read more and to encourage children to read more.  Curtis challenged audience to choose between stocks or bonds when making financial investments.
Evaluators for the evening were John Harman, Nancy Hogg and Magda Brugos.

The meeting was concluded with Christy awarding best speaker of the evening ribbon to Lauren White and best evaluator to Magda Brugos.

Respectfully submitted
