Congratulations to Canyon Park Echoes club members Barb McIntyre and Melissa Barnes.  These seasoned club members represented Canyon Park Echoes at the recent Area 54 Toastmasters Speech and Evaluation contest.  Melissa competed in a the highly competitive speech contest where she took the 2nd place prize!   Barbara competed in the always challenging Evaluation contest where she took  the 1st place prize!  Our club is proud of these two skilled club members and we are honored to have them represent us so well!  Thank you for your hard work and effort!

Barb will now move on and compete in the Division E contest.  The contest will be held on April 17th from 5:45-9:00pm at the Kirkland Congregational Church. The address is  106 5th Avenue, Kirkland, WA 98033.

Join us in supporting Barb.  If you would like to help out with the contest, contact  Pat Sultan

 

Welcome to one of our newer members, Penni Marvel. She is a professional declutter coach and organizer with a background in Speech Communication. As a certified coach, she owns her own business and has joined our club to become more comfortable giving both prepared and impromptu talks. She looks forward to being part of our supportive community as she works on speaking more slowly and gaining confidence leading groups. In her free time she plays trumpet in a group and also plays piano. We look forward to getting to know you Penni and might have to have you take a look at our TM supplies closet!

Semi-Annual dues are DUE!  Please bring your cash or checks (made out to Canyon Park Echoes Toastmaster) in the amount of $48.00 to the next Wednesday meeting and bring them to Barbara Bailie or a Club officer.  Cash needs to be the exact amount.  If we get all club members paid in full by March 31st we get more money towards Toastmasters Bucks that can help our club!

Fellow Toastmasters,

Thank you for your feedback on my speech last week. I did end up writing up a blog post about it, so I thought I would share that with you: raeraegoesreal.wordpress.com 

I also wanted to thank you for the opportunity to serve as Webmaster for these past few years. In this role, I have learned a lot about WordPress and blogging, which is what lead me to start my own blog about my passion for cooking. Isn’t it great when you volunteer to do something and end up with skills that transfer to your personal life?

Thanks, Erin
