Today we veered from our standard meeting format to have a
club contest. We had two categories:
International Speech and Evaluations.
Ash and Kate participated in the speech contest and Barb and Eileen
competed in the evaluation contest. The
winners will represent our club in the Area contest.
Pat Sultan, our Area Governor, was our guest today. She provided the target speech for the
evaluation contest. Though both Barb and
Eileen gave excellent evaluations, Barb won the contest. She will move forward to the area competition.
Both Kate and Ash gave inspiring speeches. Ash spoke of how
her life was like a monster truck.
Sometimes she was very powerful and she soared. Other times when she wasn’t careful she would
crash and hurt herself and those she cared about. Kate spoke of how she overcame a mental
roadblock by taking on a huge physical challenge. Both speeches inspired
members to face challenges with fearlessness and grace. In the end, Ash won the speech contest and
will represent our club in area contest.
We ended our contest with starting a membership drive. It will run from February 11th –
March 25th. Every guest and
every member who brings a guest will be entered into a drawing to win a $10
Starbucks card. Drawing will be held at our April 1st meeting. You must be present to win. No foolin’ ….you can be a winner!
Thank you for the update
ReplyDeleteThe speeches were inspiring and all contests are to be congratulated for their courage in stepping up and participating.
ReplyDeleteI loved the round robin evaluations where each member told what the winning speaker and evaluator did well and how they could improve as they move on to the Area Contest.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the minutes, Kate. We had fun!
