Hello all,
Today's Toastmaster of the day was Peter whose theme was school starting soon, so children will be returning to school, and the tourist season dying down. The general evaluator was Marisa who had nothing but good things to say to how our Toastmaster ran the meeting today. There were two guests today visiting from other clubs, one from Australia and the other from Washington. They gave us some good insight into how to improve our meetings such as having a Jokemaster.
There were two speakers today, with Brian speaker working in the Competent Communicator. Brian was the first speaker, who spoke about how language can be confusing, like how we park in the driveway and drive on the parkway. He was evaluated by Laurie W who liked the humor in his speech, but asked for more visuals such as writing that the electrician is delighted, the musician denoted and the dry cleaners depressed so the audience could see. Kathleen was the second speaker, talking about how reading is important, especially teaching children to read. She was evaluated by Dave who liked her speech so much he talked about how he taught his sister to read.
The word of the day was veracity, or truthfulness, given to us by Laimons who said the political race needs more veracity. Paul was in charge of table topics, where the audience helped write his book. He gave us the title to a chapter, and an audience member would provide a story for that section of the book. Christa won the table topics award with her chapter, the Haunted Motel, where she told us the story of how she stayed at a sketchy motel six in Portland.
There will be an update for meeting roles posted soon.
Have a good day!
