CAT meeting – April 22nd

This Thursday, TME Jenny Ni CC CL will lead us in a fun-filled meeting.

Table Topics Master Joyce Hu CC CL will warm up our speaking skills by challenging us to give impromptu speeches.

Remember the grammarian report that kept the audience laughing throughout it?  Larry Schuster will be training at the District 85 Annual Conference in May.  We’re honored that he’ll give CAT a preview of this workshop!

Learn how to use humor and exaggeration to correct and improve grammar problems in your club. In this workshop, you will find that a grammarian’s report no longer needs to be an unmemorable list of grammar and word usage errors. Using humor, Larry will show how to make routine grammar and word usage problems come alive in a way you will not forget.  Check out his very new Shanghai Grammar Blog.

We’ll have speeches from Aky, KC and guest Fei Hong from the Leadership club.

Our newest member Carmel Valencia CC CL will share her thoughts on our meeting during her GE report.  IEs include Susan Zhou DTM, Carlo Wolff ACB ALB, and Bill Wang ACB.

Don’t miss this meeting!
