Friday Night Dinner at The Fat Squirrel!

Friday morning, my aunt reached out to me about meeting her for dinner. It was this place in Jennerstown that she liked, called the Fat Squirrel.

Our Greensburg Toastmasters meeting was a success last night, despite the small turnout and one speaker having to postpone until the next meeting. It was nothing our group couldnโ€™t handle.

I’m working on this blog as I’ve already attended my meeting for the week. At the time though, I wasn’t sure whether or not to make this my speech or invocation. August 26 is a special day for me.

Is It Fall Yet?: Invocation or Speech?

Iโ€™ve been flip-flopping on what to do about Tuesday night at Laurel Highlands. Am I still going to speak? Yes, and I also signed up to give the invocation as well.
