“THE RADIO” WAS OUR THEME TONIGHT. – Our Highlight
comments included: “Loved Bahman’s Table Topics-lots of fun” –
“Loved the walk down memory lane with CJOR-remember Monty
McFarlane?” – “Pierre’s evaluation of Alan-different and thought
provoking” – “Alan’s speech-well done, no notes, great pacing
and we learned quite a bit about his life-look forward to
hearing more.” – “Really enjoyed Jane’s Table Topic response…she
danced around the question but then weaved her response back
into a response to the question.” – “Barbara, wonderful pearls
about good bits of advice Christina gives.”
Despite some very last minute changes the evening was a great
success!
Our ever competent Diane C. Chaired tonight with ease – loved
her many bridging comments that tied in so well with our theme.
Wordsmith Pierre G. thought of a very appropriate word tonight,
“transmit” – I think that word helped get our brains to work
better when thinking on our feet in Table Topics.
Alicia G. was our Wizardress of Ahs and her listening skills are
showing improvement as our piggy bank got a good helping of
food.
Jokemaster, Jan F. gave us a bonus tonight with 2 jokes which
made us laugh twice as much setting up the atmosphere for the
evening.
Inspirator, Christina R., got us thinking when she compared
radio with Toastmasters – take simple ideas and stretch then in
new ways.
Our hero tonight was Dave A. who filled in as Timer tonight and
certainly helped Diane with keeping the meeting on time. Thanks
Dave!
Congratulations to Bahman S. who was our first-time Table Topics
Master. Bahman, your questions were really good – I must
remember next time to make eye contact with you as your choosing
your victims.
Table Topics Evaluator was Jim S. – nice to see you again Jim.
We have missed your matter-of-fact evaluation deliveries –
always excellent feedback and good constructive suggestions.
Toastmaster Jane A. toasted to “Radio and the Summertime” – roll
on Spring!
We were in for another rare treat, Alan B. gave his Icebreaker
Speech and did a great job! Alan you certainly gave us a glimpse
into another world – we unfortunately take our freedoms for
granted.
General Evaluator, Barbara M. did a thorough job in evaluating
the overall evening. Barbara had some great suggestions and has
a very good ear.
Thank you Pierre G. for the variety of snacks and goodies for
the refreshment table – boy were they good!
Our next Toastmasters meeting will be on Feb. 16th, at 7:15pm in
our regular location. Come join us in "Learning Through Fun and
Friendship".
