The theme this morning was "Add Spice to Your Life", referring to the figurative expression of making one's life more interesting and varied rather than the literal meaning of eating more salt and pepper. You can add spice to your life by picking up a new hobby, learning a language, or rearranging furniture in your house. Or, of course, by joining Toastmasters. We had one speaker today, Edmond, who gave a presentation called "Keeping the Commitment" from the Successful Club Series of presentations which Toastmasters International provides. It was about the Toastmaster's Promise and how club members can benefit by keeping their promises to the club. Irene, the Table Topics Master, asked us to draw slips of paper from two piles. One slip of paper had a mode of transportation and the other an amount of money. We were to come up with table topics about how we would use that money and mode of transportation for a vacation.

The next meeting is Dec 14 at Golden City Restaurant, 10 a.m. It will be a Dim Sum meeting. We may also have a social meeting on Dec 13, since we've booked the meeting room anyway. Hope to see you there!
