Toastmaster Dale led a rousing meeting. Opener Richard talked about how far we’ve come with Modern Marvels – and where we might go…..

Cindy talked about not letting HOPE die…..She doesn’t mean hope in the sense of “wishful thinking” – rather in the form of firm assurance. She spoke of the three candles of Peace, Faith, and Love. Even when these three die off, Hope can keep them burning. Cindy did a wonderful job of controlling her emotions – this is the first anniversary of her breast cancer treatment.

Scott asks – what happens when life TAKES your lemons? Great story about Scott’s first car, and how to persevere when things don’t look so good.

Joe took a text about the fact that Seattle has the highest “boats per capita” number in the country. He bought a boat a few years ago – and some of the lessons that he learned……Cost, type (power vs. sail), and where/how to keep it – trailer vs. moorage. Remember, .BOAT = “break out another thousand”…..

Table Topics Master James had us going with an interesting problem – use two words/phrases that he gave us, in addition to the Word of the Day, to make a modern marvel. Both of our guests, Matt and Gary both participated!
