“A totally enlightening meeting.” “Wonderful full house! Great
to see so many guests and three of them returning for the second
time,”…“this is very encouraging so early in the season.” “The
growth of this club proves the quality of our meetings.”
“Jim was, once again, an excellent Chairman – upbeat,
enthusiastic, clear, and as always ..great humour.” “A
lighthearted approach to the theme, ‘light’.” “He runs a meeting
that rivals Swiss efficiency. Humour intact! Bravo!”
“Jan K.’s well chosen Word of the Evening was so well used that
it helped illuminate the meeting and undoubtedly set a new club
record ”
“So great to have her back!”
“Money makes the world go around…Good joke Jan F!”
“Jessica C.’s sunny Inspiration was a Highlight.” “I really
liked her quote: ‘Carry some of summer’s sunlight with us into
(our Vancouver) winter.’ Sunlight has the power to illuminate.
It has a positive power over us. A very timely Inspiration.”
“Delene’s Wizard of Ahs performance was an especially refreshing
one.” “Great opening dramatization demonstrating her role!”
“Loved her humour: ie. ‘The hour has come to add up your
transgressions.’ ”
“Atta’s irrepressible humour made me giggle! What a Timer!”
“The Table Topics session was tons of fun.” “The topics were
very intelligent and gave all of the Speakers (including 3 of
the guests!) a chance to share.” “Some of the topics made people
think a bit, but they all attacked their theme well.” “I
particularly liked Jessica C.’s ‘too true’ topic highlighting
the challenges of group projects.” There was a tie for Best
Table Topic Speaker between Jan K. (who is obviously still quick
thinking on her feet even after a long break!) and Hilary (who
has now won this honourable achievement two weeks in a row!).
“Karen’s astute Table Topic Evaluations of all 9 participants
were very well done.”
“Li Ying’s dynamic delivery of her Toast and her natural use of
humour were exceptional. Boy, does she know how to make us
laugh! She also used her role as Toastmaster to accomplish a
special manual project. In this regard, she gave herself an
excellent self-introduction ”
“Both Speakers presented themselves very well.” “I liked Jill’s
evaluation of Li Ying’s special project ‘Introduce the Speaker’.
It involved a lot of thought and good suggestions.” “I liked the
honesty in her evaluation, admitting the uniqueness and
therefore difficulty of evaluating such a different kind of
speech. She is a good role model for us all: We don’t have to
know everything in order to attack a role with excellence and
enthusiasm.”
“Leila’s Ice Breaker speech was very impressive. No notes, very
relaxed, and very natural. I am very much looking forward to her
future speeches.” “I really enjoyed her Ice Breaker, and her
wonderful sense of humour. She pulled at my heart-strings with
her disappointment at being denied jobs because she was
‘overqualified’.” “This was a fabulous speech – First speech, no
notes, and very confident up there!” “Pam’s evaluation of Leila
was great; good points.” “The personal and personable approach
to her evaluation was highlighted by her enthusiastic gestures.”
“Dave S. gave a comprehensive review of the meeting. He was
genial, jovial, and relaxed!” “He makes us smile.” “He gave a
very entertaining General Evaluation.” “It was humorous, and
touching, and very instructive.” “I was particularly glad that
he acknowledged the passing of our late member, Stuart Manning.
And also glad of the valued advice he gave to our new incoming
Club Officers that they be sure not to lose sight of tradition
while guiding and mentoring our club.” “Thanks, Dave, for
readjusting our halos!” There was a tie for Best Evaluator, too,
bestowed upon Dave S. and Pam.
“Thank you fellow Toastmasters for lighting up my Monday and
making me laugh!”
Our Open House will be next Monday September 24th. Everyone is
welcome to join us in “Learning Through Fun and Friendship”. We
are hoping to see many more guests .
The food is always better and the Break is longer on these
special nights so that we have a chance to reconnect with old
friends and make new ones. See you there!
Club 1085

“So great to have her back!”
