Each then had to give a 1 to 2 minute impromptu response about what they thought the story was behind the painting.
The evening’s prepared speaker was John Davidson. Davidson gave an informative presentation about the Federal Reserve Bank. Jim Blankenship evaluated Davidson’s speech.
The Tri-County Toastmasters club, which serves the counties of Macoupin, Montgomery and Sangamon, will next meet on Thursday May 1, 2008 at 6:30 p.m. at the Virden Area Community Center located at 105 West Jackson Street.
