Tonight's meeting was a magical celebration
of learning through fun and friendship. Our CHAIRMAN,
Randall, began the meeting with a great and topical opening by
relating the theme of the evening "Magic" to
toastmasters. We were then introduced to our welcomed guests,
who all had different reasons for improving their speaking
skills.
Our INSPIRATOR, Mike S., made a dramatic speech that
demonstrated his improved public speaking skills. He certainly
inspired the audience by reminding us of the Olympians who
worked hard to achieve glory for Canada and make us proud when
we say, "I am Canadian".
Next, our TABLE TOPICS MASTER, Diane, posed questions
about magic. Our guests also participated in this session and
presented us with their unique views about questions such as:
whether a magician should disclose their tricks, or whether it
is better to watch magic shows live or on TV. Mike S. also used
the opportunity to perform live fake magic show filled with
humor.
After the break, our TOASTMASTER, Richard, presented a
toast on specific instances in history where people who saw
something for the first time would think of it as magic. There
was also a personal story incorporated in the speech to remind
us that as children we have thoughts of some things being
magical before growing up and realizing it was not in fact
magic. Our SPEAKER tonight was Adel, who presented a
speech on the benefits and harms of having the ability to make
choices when making a purchase. He reminded us that having too
many choices in the things we buy could lead to time and energy
being wasted. Mike S., as SPEECH EVALUATOR, evaluated the
speech and presented his positive suggestions for improvement.
Pierre, as GENERAL EVALUATOR, completed a detailed
general evaluation before we heard from our guests and our
chairman who wrapped up the magical evening.
