A VERY INFORMATIVE EVENING! We had three guests; great Table
Topics session that required us to think before we spoke; with a
topping of good humour.
Some comments were: “Lively as always with great humorous
imagery!” – “Enjoyed the group evaluation – makes for a nice
change.” – “Friendly atmosphere” – “A chance for members to
contribute.”
Dave A. opened the evening with a whollop of the gavel and
warmly introduced our Chairman Karen A.
Once again Karen A. as Chairman ran a smooth meeting and had
some good bridging in between speakers. Doubling up as Wordsmith
Karen gave us the word “change” to incorporate into our speaking
while up at the lectern.
Wizard of Ah’s was Jane A. “who gave a great new explanation of
her role as a listener” as she diligently found a few morsels
that would sustain our Piggy-bank.
Jokemaster, Jan F., is skilled in this area and tonight was no
exception!
Our Inspiration for the evening was done by Robert G. who is
always very entertaining and leaves us wanting to know more.
Li-Ying K. as Table Topics Master was in top form with her
questions tonight.
Timer, Delene B., certainly assisted in keeping the meeting on
time and was very kind with the bell for a few of our speakers.
Diane C. gave a great structure for the Group Evaluation – we
should do this style of evaluation more often. It is
motivational when speakers receive some positive feedback and
some gentle constructive criticisms.
Albert L. speech on Hinduism was extremely interesting and shed
some definite light on a rather complex topic.
Jane A. evaluated Albert’s speech and complimented him on his
choice of topic. Albert you certainly are improving!
Christina R.’s speech really gave us pause to think about the
appropriateness of the education system for boys. “She has such
a great tone to her voice that we are always relaxed and
interested in listening.”
Barbara M.’s evaluation of Christina included great examples of
components in her speech, so we know exactly what we did well.
Thanks to Diane C.’s Education Session on the TM Manuals –
making it clearer as to what is exactly required for the
projects in the manuals. She mentioned that if you have any
future questions please ask her. If you need your speech manual
signed she can do that and if you need your Leadership manual
filled in then anyone on the executive can do so.
Thanks to Diane C. for refreshments!
Our next Toastmasters meeting will be an OPEN HOUSE on Monday,
September 22, at 7:15pm in our regular location. Come join us in
"Learning Through Fun and Friendship".
