It was a few minutes before noon on Monday, January 27th, 2014.
People were beginning to congregate and chairs were filling up. A laptop computer was being powered up and last minute details were being handled. The excitement in the room was building as Bill Peterson, President of District 25’s newest club, called the meeting to order. Sponsors, Mentors, District Governor, Lt Governor Marketing, Public Relations Officer, Area 55 Governor and District News Editor were all present along with most of the club members.

Then the Toastmaster of the Day, Scott West led the group into the meeting. Cindy Sears-Clemmons presented a speech on the benefits of riding the bus to work with a powerful power point display. Bill Peterson passed on some good advice he was given many years ago: presentation skills matter, networking is important and not to procrastinate. His regret was that he didn’t take the advice until years later.
