Mentoring Transition Ceremony

Take some NHL signals, monkey bread and a guest speaker with spice and you have a room full of laughing CTI Toastmasters.  Darlene was the Toastmaster for the meeting.

Val baked delicious monkey bread as a treat for this special occasion.

In his speech project #5, Chris E. H. explained the basic NHL signals so that we could truly understand the upcoming final Stanley Cup game. As he demonstrated the signals, he had the audience's rapt attention. Afterwards, Darlene led Quick Table Topics where speakers were asked to say everything they could about a topic in 45 seconds. Geetha presented her evaluation of Chris's speech.



Mona, Rosario and Val

Our mentoring transition ceremony was ably led by Mona Cooley, the leader of the District 42 Mentoring Team. 

Mona had gathered our comments prior to the meeting on how mentoring has benefited us personally and in our careers and then fed the highlights back to us so we could see the tremendous value of mentoring in our lives. 


Val and Rosario inspired us with their thoughts on what mentoring means to the club and to us as individuals.

Mona presented certificates and mentor pins to the mentors and district pins with stars to the mentees with the enthusiastic help of our Club President, Val and our Area Governor, Rosario.



Chris was presented with his Mentor certificate
for his work with Circle of Gold.
