Highlights

The Toastmaster of the day was Lee, whose theme was the history of Toastmasters. He talked about how the club officially started in 1924, but meetings had been held before that. Christa was the general evaluator, who complimented the speech evaluators on their balance of comments, and talking about the mentor program.
Diane was the first speaker of the day, who spoke about how online classes make it easier for students to complete their degrees that they started. She said they are generally more focused on their schooling than on ground students, and participate with their peers through online discussions and projects. Her evaluator was Brian, who complimented her flow between topics in her speech. The only thing he would have her work on is more frequent eye contact.
Avital was the second speaker of the day. She told us the story of her friend who survived a diagnosis of cancer. Avital talked about how her friend learned the different plants that made up her chemotherapy medicine, and became more encouraged. Kathleen was the speech evaluator for Avital who said that her speech used pauses really well, and her presence giving her speech.
Lauralee was the Table Topics master of the day, who focused her table topics on the manuals. Laimons sold a vacation package to Hawaii, where he asked if everyone had good health, and enjoyed warm days? Brandy, our guest, said that her brother in law went to a Toastmasters meeting in Utah, where he has learned a lot of skills. Because of his progress, she decided to come to a Toastmasters meeting near her. Christa Colway won the table topics trophy after persuading us that Disneyland is great if you have the time to wait in a line for two hours, in the heat, and pay a lot of money to go there.
Paul was the timer of the day, and Peter was the grammarian with the word sarcasm.
