While the weather was
cold and icy and the attendees were few, Lingo’s latest meeting was hot! Eileen S., aptly opened
the meeting adjusting
the time through colourful TI timer app.
We learned lots about
social media from our participants. Toastmaster Edith B. set the stage by
noting even though some say “Facebook is for old people,” she really enjoys
the “connections” (knock/knock) she has around the world, especially
through the Official Toastmasters International Facebook group. One item she
learned was advanced clubs give “MEAN”* evaluations and last night was no exception.
Estella M., along with
Melanie K. as radio host, professionally demonstrated a radio talk interview
discussing the use of various video channels as a social media marketing tool.
Rhys D., resident guru for
the D99TM Fan Facebook group, presented an excellent presentation on “Marketing
Toastmasters Through Social Media.” He discussed several
social media platforms and only mentioned “the cat” a few times.
Cherry C., efficiently pulled
double duty as both Table Topics Master and General Evaluator. Guest Midi (Riverbend
TM Club President), not
only won the best Tabletopics speaker, telling us about monitoring social media
of her teenage daughter, she also gave a “MEAN” evaluation of Estella’s speech,
noting the value of vocal variety especially in a radio talk setting where you
are not seen.
”MEAN” - “Meaningful, Educational, Applicable and No-nonsense.”
Melanie K., provided us
with a sneak preview of Lingo’s next meeting on November 19th, promising us a “Scent-sational”
good time. I hear “scentsational” prizes will be awarded. Think of your
favourite or not so favourite scents and be prepared to share. You don’t want to miss out!
We also learned that if
a meeting does not have food, you may want to stay home and send emails instead. It’s a good thing Lingo always
has food, so please visit us on the first or third Tuesday of the month at 7 pm at Revera at Riverbend (103 Rabbithill Court).
