Review of July 19th 2016 meeting

We would like to welcome our newest member Christa, who be giving her ice breaker speech next week! Newport Toastmasters would also like to welcome Ben, a visitor, and thank him for coming to the meeting.
July 19th meeting had two speakers Kathleen and Lauralee being evaluated by Peter and Liamons. Peter was moved by Kathleen's speech on school's needing to offer more trades as electives that he talked about how he had personally seen this need in schools and how students were struggling to get on "the right track for college". Liamons helped to improve Lauralee's speech by talking about the importance to have clear concise slides on a PowerPoint, and to use gestures while giving your speech.
The toastmaster of the day was Dave who used a play on words saying politics meant that poly is many and tics, as a play on ticks, were parasites. He also buttered up the general evaluator Pen, by saying how wonderful she is as a part of Toastmasters. Following the theme, Brian being the table topics master, asked different members about their view on politics. It was Christa who said that her favorite politician was imaginary that took the prize for the best table topic.
Lee was our grammarian who helped to count our umms and ahhs. For the umm award, our general evaluator Penn won.
See you next week!
