Google Docs and Hope for the Opiod Crisis - We Learned New Things and Practiced Our Speaking Skills

This week's Merrimack Motivators Toastmasters meeting saw great speeches and several off the cuff mini speeches. Everyone participated.

Julie Ann took home first prize in the impromptu speaking portion of the meeting - "Table Topics."

We also heard interesting speeches from our members on how Google Docs can be helpful in work and home as well as learning about the opioid crisis and pharmaceutical companies that are bad actors.

The speakers' performances really highlight their improvement.
