**************************************
Thought for the day                       TM T.Aoyagi
Spring has come.

The atmosphere is mysterious.

On a bright day, my mind will be fine and calm.
I will want to do something fun under the clear sky.
On a cloudy day, my mind might be sad and blue.
I will want to be at home and may want to watch some serious movies.

The atmosphere of meetings of the Toastmasters club is the same, I think.

Today, the in-house speech contest is scheduled.
Today's meeting is a special one.

Fellow members and guests, let's make the atmosphere enjoyable and fruitful
more than usual.

Please make eye-contacts to the speakers.
Please make reactions to the speeches.

I hope the all contestants show their full performances.
I also wish we all can enjoy today's special meeting.
