Hello Fellow Toastmasters,
Last
night’s meeting was certainly an ‘adventure,’ as we heard an array of
vibrant stories and speeches from those in attendance.
Martin
started our meeting off with a wonderful Invocation, followed by Migo
as our Joke Master who soon had us laughing out loud. Al was our first
time Toastmaster and did a great job ensuring the meeting flowed
smoothly and on time.
Our
Table Topic portion of the meeting was soon underway as our Table Topic
Master for the night, Terry, took the stage. He printed questions
relating to the theme ‘Adventure’ on pieces of paper and asked each
speaker to pull one out of a baggie and speak on it. We heard many
wonderful stories about travels, adventures, and mishaps. Alex, our
Table Topic Evaluator, very succinctly provided feedback for all the
speakers and gave them pointers to improve their speaking.
Refreshments last night were provided by George, thank you!
The
second half of our meeting is the prepared speeches, and last night’s
meeting hosted three great speeches. Daniela gave her 9th manual
speech about the power of giving and provided great examples of giving
back to the community. Garvin shared with us an impromptu speech about
the two most influential people in his life titled ‘A Tale of two
Friends.’ He asked the audience to think about what they wish their
legacy to be when then pass this world. Our third speaker was Hesty,
giving us her Ice Breaker. Her very well organized speech told us about
her name, her career and her hobbies. We learned a lot about Hesty;
congrats on completing project 1!
Following
the speeches were the evaluators. Byron was up first to evaluate
Daniela’s speech and provided feedback. Fabian followed with his
evaluation of Garvin’s speech and also provided pointers to make his
speech more impactful. Last but not least was Migo who evaluated Hesty
and gave her great ideas to improve her future speeches.
Our
General Evaluator George did a great job of recapping the meeting and
also providing additional feedback to the speakers, evaluators, and for
the overall meeting.
We
finished up the meeting just two minutes after the hour, but we had a
jam-packed schedule and an audience eager to speak and learn. We hope to
see you next week for another exciting meeting!
