Happy Birthday Canada! This year Canada is turning the big 1-5-0! Our Toastmaster Des spoke passionately about being Canadian. Oh Canada! Our home and native land. We are proud to be part of thee.

Alex hosted a workshop on core values.  She encouraged us to connect with our true values.  Many of us go through life, following other people’s pathways or values. When was the last time we sat down and thought about what we really value? In this meeting, Alex gave us that opportunity, equipping us with a list of values to muse over.

Alex also guided 2 volunteers: Amanda and Be on creating goals to their values. From Alex we learned, life is a canvas, we can paint it the way we wanted,  We just need to let our brushes (values) lead the way.

 Amanda led a fun Table Topic session, getting each participant to represent an animal and advocating for its existence on earth.    In the end, we voted for Andre (representing the moose).   Congrats Andre!

We will still be at the Lilian H Smith library next week.  It will be the last meeting before we roll over to the new executive team.  It will be just as exciting as ever, as we anticipate to hear 4 speakers! Damian, Amanda, Catarina, and Andre.
