Full house tonight with 16 people in attendance.

Congrats to Marc Ventura who completed Level 1 of yet another Pathway: this time, the pathway in Visionary Communication!

Rae Jean Wong won best speech ( and wore the cutest hat ever!). Luay Issa talked to us about perfectionism and Silvio Estrada gave his ice-breaker speech!

Abel Mkulama gave us the word of the day: salubrious! It was a tough one but we managed to use it often.
