Dave A ran an on-time and efficient meeting with his low key and
very effective chairman skills, “great bridging between
speakers”.
Jan F. “gave us another wonderful inspiration, and left us
thinking”
Carla was “ruthless” with her fines! “Carla did a great job of
explaining her role”.
“Karen was very “succinct in describing her role as timer, easy
to understand”
Rob did a great job as our Tabletopics Master-a First timer he
had great questions, really made you think, lots of possibility
to answer the questions in creative ways.
Well done to all first round TableTopics participants: Bahmen,
Christina, Jan F, Karen, Diane, Dave & Carla, we learned
something new about each member!
As a new member “Barbara has captured the essence of
evaluating”, she “offered great suggestions and thorough points
for all”.
Our second round of Tabletopics was a change from the regular,
“it was nice to switch it up a bit”. We had a roundtable where
everyone was given the opportunity to briefly answer different
questions such as “Who did you most admire?”, What was your
childhood nickname?” and “What is your favourite saying?”
Christina did a thorough job as the general evaluator, “didn’t
leave out a point”, “left me feeling inspired as a new member”.
“Another evening full of great speeches and good laughs”
Our chairperson Diane did a great job of giving applause after
introducing our guests, very welcoming”, Diane’s opening
comments on “being daring” was a fantastic mini speech that set
the mood for the evening.
Eva did a fantastic job as the Wizard of Ah’s this evening. Full
of great descriptions, an unexpected pleasure!
Congratulations on being inducted this evening, also want to
congratulate Alan who was inducted last week but could not make
this week’s meeting-great to have you both as members!
“Delene’s inspiration was based on her husbands experience
assisting 9-11 year old with public speaking. It was truly
inspirational”
Barbara did a great job of timing. “Her explanation was very
thorough”.
Our return guest Pierre, did a great job in tabletopics with his
“meowing”, his gestures made us “see” his neighbour on the roof.
Jim’s tabletopic was textbook in terms of body language,
structure and vocal variety, great job.
“Great to see Jim at our meeting tonight”
“
Bahmen’s tabletopic about his daring experience travelling from
Iran to India-a daunting experience on your own-and
congratulations on winning tabletopics this evening.”
Great job by Rob as our TableTopics master for the second time
in a row! Loved Rob’s “sense of humour and his ability to bridge
between each speech-well done Rob!”
Loved Dave A’s expression “use your fingers as visual aids”,
Dave A’s evaluation of Tabletopics was “the best I have ever
heard from him”.
Christina did “another thorough job as our toastmaster this
evening”, “I liked her examples of the definition of bravery vs
being daring, her introduction of Carla was excellent”
A wonderful Ice Breaker speech from new member Carla. “Very
informative, loved hearing of her experiences and her warm sense
of humour. Already a very good speaker-Congratulations Carla! “I
look forward to hearing more!”
Join us next week: Monday Dec 1, 2008 for another evening of
“fun & friendship”
