Our Meeting
Toastmaster: Nancy
created a fun agenda highlighting her theme, “The Origins of Halloween. Throughout
the meeting she offered Halloween tidbits like black is for the death of the old
year and bonfire was originally bone fire.
Our President: Barb welcomed our guests from last week, Bob and
Midori. We hope they’ll join.
Grammarian and Word of
the Day – Adilene chose
‘Other-Worldly’ to fit with our Halloween theme.
Ah Counter – Lynne volunteered to count our ahs,
ums, and other speech distractions. This will help us avoid them when we talk
and become better speakers.
Timer – Kate used the green, yellow,
and red cards to help us keep our talks on time.
General Evaluator
– Jean evaluated the meeting
and found it to be excellent.
Our 1st
Speaker – Robert entitled
his talk, “Playing Games with Sheldon.” He shared 3 unique childhood
games involving a silver dollar, a penny, and a broomstick. He told us about a
salt-shaker game he and his friends played in college while they were waiting
for food. We were eager to play his games but alas, we were on zoom.
Our 2nd
Speaker – Lucelly’s title,
“Wish It, Plan It, Do It,” sparked our curiosity. Lucelly delivered. She
left Puerto Rico with a master’s in Industrial Psychology. When she moved to
the U.S., she knew the quote by Wittgenstein, “The limits of my language mean
the limits of my world,” applied to her. She is now studying English to
understand the questions for her boards as a Behavior Analyst Professional. She
shared her proposal to study every day using the mock test for her exam. She
has one year to pass it. We believe in you Lucelly.
Our 1st Evaluator – Jim enjoyed Robert’s games
and noted that Robert shared a “unique slice of history” when kids made up
their own games and played them for hours.
Our 2nd
Evaluator – Barb admired
Lucelly’s persistence and drive to learn English. She noted Lucelly’s wonderful
gestures and vocal variety. Barb also marveled at Lucelly’s improvement in
speaking English.
Our Table Topics Master – Mara set the stage for an
extended story about Halloween, a mom, and trick or treating. Everyone took
turns in expanding the story. So fun!
General Evaluator – Jean

the meeting including Nancy’s Halloween tidbits and agenda, the fabulous talks,
and the fun table topics.
