Fellow toastmasters and most welcome guests,
We had a successful meeting on March 21st, 2008. Twenty six people participated in the meeting including two new guests. Thank you for coming and helping to make the meeting successful.
The opening remark was held by our president, Al. His entertainment made everybody laugh and got ready for the meeting. The Table Topicmaster was our veteran member, Leonette. She initiated the table topic by asking the participants to make stories based on the pictures that she brought. Although some of the pictures seemed to be difficult to interpret, the variety of pictures made their stories very interesting and entertaining. Great job, Leonette and thanks for wonderful impromptus speech done by the 6 participants.
In the prepared speech session, two members Eric and Merlyne gave their brilliant speeches. In his sixth speech, Eric talked about ‘Values’ by telling us about research that proves that usage of work affects child development. We all could related this story since we are pursuing to improve our speech skill. The next speaker Merlyne gave her sixth speech too. Her title was “What would you do? – the real consequences.” Her speech was involved in vocal variety and this made her point very clear. Nicely done two of you. Good jobs!
In the evaluation session, Cathe and Chet gave their wonderful evaluations. The ah-counter was Nadia and the timer of this meeting was Michael Jackson. The meeting was finished at about 7:40 pm right on time thanks for Al’s good control of time as the toastmaster. Overall, it was a wonderful meeting! Thanks everyone and see you all next Friday in the same room on March, 28th 2008!
