Okay, I can identify (left to right) Wayne Botha, Steve Gondek, and John Parla from CIGNA Lunchtime.
But, who are the (somber?) Toastmasters from Socially Speaking Toastmasters in Brookfield, CT?
Roger,
The Socially Speaking Toastmasters in the first two (civilized) pictures (left to right) are club president, Pete Lane, Dianne Smigala and VPE Anne Foster.
In the bottom picture, all the club members who were in attendence are shown...
(l-r) Croix Sather, Pete Lane, Don Lococco, Dianne Smigala (hidden behind Pete & Don) and Anne Foster. (Dave Wheeler, another member of Socially Speaking, took the picture.
It was a great meeting and we really appreciate the visit from Wayne, John and Steve !
