Hello,
Today's Toastmaster of the day was Dave, being evaluated by Lauralee. Instead of a normal meeting, today was the Table Topics contest. Because of this, we had extra long "open" table topics, instead of a second speaker. Since this was a contest, we had a Table topic question of the day, which was "Flozy".
Marisa was the only speaker, being evaluated by Peter. She spoke on how we all have some bias in our judgement. To start out her speech, Marisa told a story of a boy who was in a car accident with his father who died instantly. The boy was rushed to the hospital where the surgeon walked into the operating room, and then exclaimed "I cant operate on that boy. He's my son!" She then asked if we were confused, and we raised our hand if we thought the surgeon was his mother, or second father. Peter talked about how she made everyone think about their own views on life, and was sneaky with her ending being so quiet.
Christa led table topics asking us to define "Flozy" in some way. There was a race to the lectern by the end of the meeting, with all but three of us talking about what "Flozy" meant. The word was defined as a teenager finding their way, by Anjanette and the feeling of jazz music by Laura. Flozy meant that you were in the zone by Laurie; floating on the river by Peter; and had to do with alcohol by Dave and Marisa. The original meaning of this word made up by Christa was feeling cozy in the fall. Brian was the winner for the table topics contest, making up a story of his "aunt flozy" who walked with a flow in her step.
Our word of the day was empathy, provided to us by Laimons. Brian was the timer of the day, who helped to make sure everyone qualified for the table topics contest. Lauralee reminded everyone to not abandon the lecturn, and said that Dave did well with transitioning between the speaker and the contest.
We would like to welcome back Laura, and loved her story of the jazz music in the woods. Schedules will be posted soon.
Have a good week!
