Toys and other playthings.

As our Toastmaster tonight, Deb's theme of Toys and other playthings was a great way to take us back to our childhoods.

Dorothy gave an eloquent toast about the importance of toys in life, Irene gave her 8th speech from the Competent Communicator manual (Visual Aids) entitled "Stressbusters!", where she used numerous props to tell us the many benefits of walking the dog and how it reduces our stress.

Our session was by Julio who explained to us www.meetup.com, it's pros and cons, and how we might use it to increase our membership. We will vote on whether to pay to join at the next business meeting...hopefully we have quorum!

As usual, Table Topics was very entertaining, with our guest John telling us about his childhood with Lego and how back in tha' day we didn't have this fancy 'branded' Lego. Bik used his trademark TT (Table Topics) style to tell us about his unhealthy infatuation with Nintendo.
