And the winners were...
On March 14, 2006, the club conducted an open house and demonstration meeting in the James K. Polk building lobby (next to the elevators, which allowed us to snag several guests!). The meeting had a great turnout! What a success! Photos: A display board table (right of picture) provided information and other materials to guests. Anne Kaderabek gives the audience the giggles during her "What Not to Do During a Speech" presentation.
