Our Toastmaster Club practices, “Talk low, talk slow, and
don’t talk too much.” ~ John Wayne
That’s why we time our talks. Only those who keep within
their allotted time can vie for the blue ribbon.
Our President, Barb, opened our meeting with Kate, Jamie,
Cindy, Cary, Kyle, Casey, Ken, Juliet, Jan S., Tracy, Mihaela, Jean, and guests,
Kathy and Colleen.
Lynne’s, first turn as Toastmaster of the Day, succeeded
perfectly. Her theme was ‘Cats.’ The members easily included cats in the
program.
Kate presented “Hunt,” our word of the day as in cats
hunting for mice or Kate hunting for bargains. It also was well used during
the meeting.
Jamie, our first speaker, said he’s known as the 'King' in his
family, that is, the king of sticking his foot in his mouth. He related 2
incidents that both humored and shocked us. He keeps improving with every
speech.
Jan S. evaluated Jamie’s speech by praising his gestures,
eye-contact, and organization.
Mihaela, our second speaker, is the master of “Cool Design.”
Her interactive speech included the audience with answering questions, a white
board, and her magical drawing of cats. She knows how to make a talk
interesting and fun.
Barb evaluated Mihaela’s talk with glowing remarks about her
props, organization, and excellent teaching methods.
Our Table Topics Master, Cindy prepared fortune cookie
questions.
Both Cary and Kyle shared stories about cat’s named “Big Boy” and “Tiger.”
You can tell by their pictures, they had fun.
Ken, our general evaluator, offered praise and shared suggestions

My advice to Jamie is to stay away from coffee. It seems to be the cause of the "foot in mouth" disease!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Ken about the coffee. It was a great meeting yesterday. I love our club! It is so great to see everyone facing their fears of public speaking and getting up and overcoming them.-Jamie
ReplyDeleteMichaela gave such an awesome speech! Great pictures!
