Invitation to Mission Chapter Toastmaster’s February 28, 2012 Meeting

We have waited a long year for this evening.  Mission Chapter Toastmaster’s Annual Tall Tale meeting.  The chance for everyone to tell the biggest bestest lie, fabrication, falsehood, nonsense they can cook up.  Our mission to help us become the best darned fibbers in Santa Barbara and Goleta and maybe the world or even the universe (or now maybe universes).  All in 3-5 minutes. Wow.   Here is the link for location and time.

Our Toastmaster for this meeting will be Grace. Everyone is encouraged to participate. There will also be some other roles to be filled.If you need the seed of a lie to help you get started concocting your whopper or for more information please email Grace at grachow@aol.com

Seeds for lies will also be available at the meetings for impromptu Tall Tales.

DO NOT MISS THIS MEETING -and  if you are not speaking, we’ll need your help to make the meeting a big success. Your attendance will be appreciated.

Members RSVP and or questions to Grace at grachow@aol.com

Signed up already (and if you are not, okay, come with your “tall tale”, there is time for everyone):
