Meeting Notes – June 1, 2011

The showboater was Mr. Monty Westby, representing Plein Air Window Care.

His presentation was a demonstration of professional window cleaning. He asked for three volunteers to clean a window pane, then demonstrated his way, which, of course, proved to be far superior to the inexperienced volunteers. He was particularly concerned with interior dripping, and demonstrated some techniques for avoiding that pitfall.

The speaker was Ms. Marian P Sjostrom, representing Juice Plus+.

She read from a list of 50 accomplishments in her life, and managed to give us 39 of them. They included: the mother of 3 children, all of whom are “independent and still my friends,” her Juice Plus business has been Qualified for 127 months (10 1/2 years), she went white water rafting on the Kern River in California, parasailing over the ocean in Mexico, joined Toastmasters in 1995, and achieved the highest level of accomplishment: Distinguished Toastmaster, and co-chaired the District Toastmasters Fall Conference in 1999 for about 150 people, was a former President of the Sedona Referrals Club (2006-2007), is currently the President of NAWBO, is an excellent shot with a pistol, has 3 grandchildren, has taken belly dancing, and has done extensive remodeling of her current house.
