Our meeting was full of potential (knock, knock). Toastmaster Rick L started the meeting telling us about Barry M, a fellow Toastmaster and his efforts in achieving what many of us would think is impossible. He gathered over 100 people to hear him speak. Well we didn’t have that many at our gathering but we did have a full meeting with two great speeches, table topics, evaluations and a song or two. Happy Birthday VP Ed Dan M!
Dan M gave a keynote address on how to give
killer presentations and Eileen S spoke/sang the praises of mentorship telling
us about her own Toastmasters journey. They tied for best speaker. Their
speech evaluators gave very thorough evaluations pointing out what they liked
and suggesting improvements. Rhys D won best evaluator - the second time this
week!Cherry C led Table Topics asking some very thought provoking questions causing members to dig deep into their past and day to day lives. Rick L won best Table Topics telling us how he applies “achieving the impossible” philosophy to his work every day. Grammarian Estella M had excellent listening skills in noting all the superb phrases used. Melanie juggled timing, evaluating and responding to a table topic, but she did it all with great audacity.
As general evaluator, Cherry C noted we didn’t achieve the impossible with a perfect meeting but we came close. And we are certainly going to try again next week when we celebrate Chinese New Years.
Come join us February 5/19 at 7 pm Revera Retirement Living in Riverbend. Cherry C and Estella M, with hopefully the assistance of Wendy L, will tell us all about the “Year of the Pig.” This will be of particular interest to those born in 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, or 1995. Learn why Pigs have a beautiful personality and are blessed with good fortune in life.
