Teresa Bzdek gave her speech, which was the third project from the Advanced Communication and Leadership Manual, Make Them Laugh, which took us on a journey through her college years and beyond, with lots of funny stories about college and her brief foray into military service, she had thought about becoming a fighter pilot.

Our Toastmaster, Sarah Gagnon, CTM, closed the meeting with the following Irish blessing:
"May the sun shine, all day long
Everything go right, and nothing wrong
May those you love bring love back to you
And may all the wishes you wish come true."
