facilitating the meeting.” -- “I liked Jane’s 12 steps to grow a
friend – lots of good tips on how to make a friend.” --
“Pierre’s creative variation on Table Topics was wonderful.”
Diane C. was our Chairman and she ran a smooth meeting which had
a different agenda than usual. Diane managed to include
wonderful bridging throughout the evening. She warmly welcomed
FOUR guests and made them feel very at ease.
Wordsmith Carla W. explained her role well for the benefit of
our guests. The word of the evening was “honourable” -- a great
choice considering our theme.
Wizardress of Ah’s Barbara M. gave a detailed description of her
role – even worked out the money too!
Jan F. our Jokemaster gave us a treat with a joke that took more
time than usual – Jan you have the ability of sending us all
back in time so extremely well!
Pierre G. our Inspirator is a great actor and immediately
grabbed our attention, drawing us in to what he was saying.
A great job was done by Alicia G. as Timer – helping the
Chairman to keep the meeting on time.
Table Topics Session #1 was run by Jim S. – Jim’s questions were
challenging but the speakers answered them without too much
difficulty.
Toastmaster Jane A. gave us a 12-step program on how to “grow” a
friend which was wrapped up with the toast “To Good Friends”.
Table Topics Session #2 was run by Pierre G. who altered our
usual format into a debate style with 3 people teams. A
refreshing change.
Table Topics Session #1 & #2 Evaluationswas done by Christina R.
– Christina always manages specific phrases or actions of what
she liked – not necessarily just the content of what was said.
Thanks Christina.
Our General Evaluator Dave A. always manages to emphasize the
fun side of the evening and gave constructive criticism for
improvement to the overall meeting.
Thanks to Dave A. for the treats on the refreshment table.
Our next Toastmasters meeting will be on March 9th at 7:15pm in
our regular location. Come join us in "Learning Through Fun and
Friendship".
