Taking the next step, however small it has to be for manageability, that's the key to moving forward. That's what Dorothy taught us with this week's theme. It will serve us well over the summer as the Powerspeakers are now breaking for the summer, the next meeting will be the first Wednesday of September.
On this day Irene also gave her Icebreaker speech, in which she took the novel approach of telling us about her future plans, rather than most other icebreaker speakers who tell us about their past. She has many natural speaking abilities and we know she'll go far.
Table Topics was supremely entertaining as usual, with Bik telling us about the intricacies of dancing buck naked, and Norma revealing that she infact wrote the book on procrastinating at work.
Here's to another great year Powerspeakers, see you in September!

Entertainment!
We laughed, we cried!
We were entertained!
Toastmaster Ann orchestrated a great meeting this week, with interesting introductions to start us off. Since our prepared speaker was unable to speak at the last moment, both Norma and Greg stepped up with impromptu speeches.
Greg told us what we could do to have fun this summer, and Norma gave us an account of her personal lesson in 'letting go', entertaining for sure!
As always table topics were awesome, everyone got a chance to speak. Until next week...

Survival
Survive and Thrive!
Ever wondered about the history of marriage? Well Julio answered all our questions and more with his fantastic speech!
We had great introductions with everyone telling stories of amazing survival against insane odds. We even had a story about a 5 year old Korean immigrant who would have been thrown overboard if it wasn't for his father's pleas. That boy is alive and thriving today as an adult! amazing, thanks Vy for that great story.
And good news, with the induction of our newest member Irene, and and the upcoming honorary induction of Dona Baker, we've hit charter strength. Woo hoo! 10 out of 10 DCP points here we come! Welcome to Irene, we'll have lots of fun and growth together.
Another inspiring and fun filled meeting, thanks everyone!
