July 19, 2022 Joint meeting: Beating Inflation


Well we did not get the inside scoop on “beating inflation,” but the subject was discussed at the joint summer meeting July 19/22 hosted by Fabulous Facilitators, with Lingo Advanced, Riverbend, and Golden Mountain Toastmasters Clubs. Sgt at Arms/TT Evaluator Cherry C started us off and TM Cam B took it from there. 

We were treated to two speeches: 1) Lynn B spoke about the “safeguards” of beating inflation mainly in bouncy castles and with mattresses when camping and 2) Guest Harriet T gave us a trial run of her contest speech “Six Words” and its human connection.  Well done speakers. Harry P evaluated Lynn’s speech and suggested a stronger closing and we all provided comments to Harriet’s questions on her speech. Best of luck, Harriet. 

Tabletopics led by Lynn B brought a 😊 to our faces, especially when Craig B described several of us racing in inflatable suits, winning him the best TT award. While I was not the 🤡on the tricycle, as grammarian, I did picture myself in my 🙉 suit. Estella M was precise in her timing as was Lochlan K, as quizmaster, in asking questions.

Dan Mc, a General Evaluator, gave us lots of concrete suggestions for enhancing our evaluation and other roles. We were happy to also have Eileen S, our financial wizard or expert on the price of butter, and Richard M, aka “Hot Air” join us. 

We are already looking forward to our next joint summer meeting on August 9/22 hosted by Riverbend TM Club. Stay tuned for details.
