The speech night and open house hosted by the Enderby Toastmasters Club on Tuesday, March 15, 2011 was a success, with fifteen guests in attendance. The meeting was chaired by club president Joan Reid, and the speeches given covered a variety of topics.

Naomi Fournier presented a fact-finding report about minimum wage followed by a question-and-answer period, while Doug Main told an inspiring story entitled ‘Little David‘. Anne Casey performed an interpretive reading from the book ‘How to Live: A Search for Wisdom from Old People (while they are still on this earth)‘ by Henry Alford.

After a short but enjoyable break, Lynda Hooper gave a press conference for her newly published book ‘QA: KISS – Keep it Simple, Stupid‘, and provided unrehearsed answers to questions posed by the ‘press’. The final speaker of the evening was Karen Durant, who left the audience spellbound with her suspense-filled speech, ‘Night of the Wolves‘.

The Enderby Toastmasters Club invites you to join them for their regular meetings, which take place every Tuesday evening in the Enderby & District Museum from 7:00 to 8:30. The first three meetings are free, and a special discount is being offered to new members.
