Meeting Notes 10/06/2009

Hello Yappers. Yesterday’s meeting was a blast. The theme was State Fair of Texas and the word of the day was baroque. We had 12 participants, including four, yes count it F-O-U-R new members! Whoo Hoo! Yesterday’s meeting was full. We had one prepared speaker, me, and three Table Topics participants. The title of my speech was "You could have heard my contact lens drop". I spoke about my experience to adopt a baby. No baby yet, trust, you’ll know… (smile)

Elma Goodwin led Table Topics. She did a fantastic job asking participants question about the state fair. Pat, Manh and Jacque participated. Jacque was crowned best Table Topics. Congratulations Jacque!!

I’m so excited about our switch to lunch-time I can hardly contain myself. It’s soo good to have new faces and new energy in the club! So, here’s our new member recap:

Jacque Crayton, Administration for Children and Families

Elma Goodwin, Administration for Children and Families

Cecilia Velastegui, Office for Civil Rights

Connie Jones, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
