It was not all fun and games like our Halloween meeting, nor was it meant to be. Lingo Advanced Communicators zoomed into our ninth(9th) year by presenting a workshop entitled “ReEngage, ReDiscover, and ReIgnite” your Toastmaster (TM) energy. Every member of the club and guest Violet were present to “rekindle” their TM juices. Sgt at Arms Edith B introduced our TM for the evening, Cherry C as a living example of how TMs helped her in her career to go from an accounting clerk to going after deadbeats. Throughout the evening, besides “ReEngage, ReDiscover, and ReIgnite”, these words were heard several times and attributed to Toastmasters: “confidence and competency.”
We had three presentations to further connect the dots: Eileen S talked about “Why Toastmasters?”, Dan Mc, gave a presentation on the overall value of the TM program, and Estella M spoke on setting and achieving goals. These presentations were of varying lengths but Eileen won best Speaker with her 5-7 minute speech.It was a full evening so we did not have Tabletopics but the evaluations were thorough as led by General Evaluator Xiao X. Rhys D evaluated Eileen’s speech, Craig B as grammarian kept track of the word of the day, and Edith was kept busy as timer. I do believe many were “reEngaged,” did “reDiscover,” and became “reIgnited.” And with that we look forward to our next event on Tuesday November 16/21 at 7 pm where Eileen will lead the discussion on “International Day for Tolerance.” Encourage a friend to zoom along with us.
