June 27th meeting

The Toastmaster of the day was Paul, whose theme was celebrating summer. He talked about how the summer reminded him of using sunscreen, seeing all of the green around him, and going on roadtrips. Peter was the general evaluator of Paul. In his evaluation, he said that he would share some of his feelings about summer, including his feelings about the tourists who come to town.
Christa Colway was the speaker of the day, whose speech was called Faking It. In her speech, she talked about being in a prize winning marching band at school. Christa was a horn player with choreographed gestures. During her speech she talked about how she practiced and practiced to look just right while marching. Laurie was the speech evaluator for Christa's speech.
Because the meeting lacked a second speaker, Paul had everyone participate in a Reader's Theater drama "My Brain: The All-hands Meeting".  Laurie Weitkamp was the Chairperson of the Brain trying to conduct a serious mid-morning "board meeting" with board members named Coffee, Antidepressants, Sleep, Sugar, Protein, Water, Exercise, Therapy, Meditation, Alcohol, Weed and P.M.S. The one page drama by Hallie Cantor was in The New Yorker, August 24, 2015. Because this was an impromptu and round robin speech, there was no evaluator for it. 
Laimons was the Topics Master of the day. He challenged 4 members to impromptu speaking, including Vicki, John, Brian Haggerty and Peter Boris. The winner of the Table Topics trophy was Peter. 
Viki was the grammarian of the day, whose word was insanity. John was the timer of the day.
