You Learn Something New

One thing I love about Toastmasters meetings is that you can learn so much without cracking a book open or entering a topic into your search engine.  Monday's meeting included an interesting speech about presidential assassinations and attempts in the 20th century.  Our history buff, Lou C. picked up the timeline of a previous speech to include some fascinating facts about the attempts on the lives of Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan.  Lou also explained the phrase "McKinley handshake."  If you don't know what that means, it's too bad  you didn't visit our meeting.  You can always google it.  Table topics were a fun mix of ideas for spooky stories.  It turns out some people just don't believe in haunted houses!  Thanks again, Daystar Retirement Village for the lovely light lunch.  Come join us.  We have a great time!
