ZOOM TOASTMASTERS

ZOOMING 

Since the Governor shut down all gatherings, our Toastmasters Groups reverted to online meetings. It was a challenging change but we've learned new presentation skills.

Puyallup Valley Voices

Even training and speech contests were online.

I also achieved my 3rd Distinguished Toastmasters Medal

KAUAI WRITERS CONFERENCE AT THE MARRIOTT

I attended the writers conference with the intention of pitching a manuscript Ben and I are co-authoring. It's a self-help medical book on bipolar disorder. Hopefully, the book will be published through a brick and morter publishing company. Keep posted for future news.

CHRISTMAS STORYTELLING EVENT

I formed a team and we put on a Christmas storytelling event. The stories were very touching. What a great group of tellers.

Elfis helped me sing Silent Night.

Thankful on Thanksgiving

Great Thanksgiving table spread. I'm very thankful for opportunities in the United States. 

HOUSE PROJECTS

My fall project: redoing a bedroom. Stripping wallpaper, texturing, painting and adding new carpet. Wow! What a lot of work! In exchange for the bedroom I got the full loft for my art studio. It also got new carpet.

FIFE ARTS COMMISSION

Fife Arts Commission started a guest speaker series. I gave my Strategic Storytelling presentation. I sold several books which is a plus.

STORY SLAM

Forrest Storytelling Festival hosted a story slam in which I signed up. I told my signature story, Horny Old Goat in front of 200 people. A little nervous at first but I did it.

IMPROV SHOW

I organized an improv presentation for NW Comedy Club. It was a super success. Charles Ames performed Sharon Dana and Ben Krack. We played a variety of games. This one is word freeze.

NW COMEDY CLUB HALLOWEEN PARTY

Our Toastmasters club, NW Comedy Club had a great Halloween party, complete with costumes and scary speeches. We meet the first Friday of every month at Denny's South Hill Puyallup at 6:30.

HISTORIC ABERDEEN

Not much left of the wharf and warehouses that once lined the Wishkaw River. Example of Billy Gohl's Union Hall.

Lumber Mill on the waterfront

Sailing ship navigating Grays Harbor.

Today's fishing boats in the marina.

How we rock under the docks.

(Looking for Billy Gohl's victims)

I finally published four manuscripts that have been collecting dust. They're now on Amazon.
