After three and a half years at Hologic, we started meeting at the Courtyard Marriott tonight. The room is smaller, more intimate, but the food is so much better! We are giving this a trial run of five weeks. Because we meet at the dinner hour, we hope that our guests and our members will enjoy the Bistro food and beverage choices in this cozy atmosphere. If you place your order before you walk into the club meeting, Danielle will ensure it is ready for you to eat either during the meeting or at 7:30. Bon appetite!
If our first meeting at the Courtyard is any indication of future success for SmoothTalkers at this location, it is a good omen. In spite of the very heavy rain, we had a terrific turnout with two guests - Cory decided to check us out (thanks, Cory!), and Pete O’Neal submitted his membership application. Our VPE, Todd Kaprielian, conducted the meeting flawlessly with a theme about “Elevators” no less. We had an inspiring reading by Risa Shibata of President Obama’s farewell speech and a civics lesson by Steve Cicero doing a 30-minute project on leading a team. Cindy Essary and Mike Norris also gave speeches in support of Steve’s presentation entitled “Freedom is the Key.”
