Toastmaster Andrew led a meeting of rituals. First we bowed to the power of music, then followed the official contest rules with tabletopics.

From Bob, we learned that sometimes we unintentionally create a barrier between ourselves and our goals by physically hiding behind objects. So don’t hide behind the lectern, step forward, open up, and opportunities will come!

Congrats to Luke for his awesome tabletopics speech! He came up on top from at least 10 contestants. Definitely awe-inspiring! Let’s all bow to him as well.

Next meeting, Maria will be our toastmaster.

Speakers: Cara (her ice breaker!), Olga and Luke.
