April 23th
The Toastmaster of the day was Christa, as a first time toastmasters! She had a busy schedule, with two ten to twelve minute speeches. During the meeting she told us about some of her first, like her first time going on a boat for work, and being sick. The general evaluator was Lee, who said that one thing our evaluators need to work on is making sure that we are using the sandwich method when evaluating since both evaluations lacked a balance of good statements and constructive criticisms.
There were two speakers, Peter and Lauralee. Peter speech on a fictional business he was "running" to give an example about the mindset of ruling through overpowering your employees, and intimidation. His theme was motivation in the tongue and cheek speech. He used three baseball bats to emphasize his speech. In his speech, he talked about calling business owners to have them buy into his product. Peter also talked about how it does not matter how his "employees" made the deal, but they needed to make the deal. Laimons was the evaluator for Peter's speech who said he would have liked to hear the steps of a business plan he was presenting. One thing Laimons did say was he added humor into a speech that could have been boring, and that he used the bats as a good prop.
Lauralee was the second speaker, evaluated by Dave. In her speech, she talked about the soul of Spain, and how the music is the heart and mind of a country. She went back through history to show how Rome had taken over the country for six centuries, and then the Moors took over for another 700 years until Christopher Columbus came to America. After giving a brief history of the country, Lauralee showed examples of their music. Because of the Moors, flamenco music came to be as a combination of Moorish scales from the Moors, and Greek scales from the Roman influence, a combination found only in Spain. Another example she gave was how the Catholic church employed several musicians, who travelled back to Rome and brought their ideas to Spain, creating songs like Ave Virgo Sanctissima (Hail Holy Virgin). Dave was her evaluator who said that she did not make enough of a connection between the history of Spain and why it was relevant to the music. He also said that he did not like how much time she spent on the history of Spain because the music was the topic of the speech.
There were no table topics today because of the length of both speeches. John, a prospective member, stepped in as timer today. Brian was the grammarian of the day.

Table Topics April 18th
Several people got to try their hand at ranting. It was very therapeutic for several of the members. Dave was the table topics master of the day, whose theme was rants! There was a three way tie for table topics today between Peter's rant about tourists, Paul's story about setting a house on fire, and Christa Colway' s rant on the loss of her application. Peter talked about how tourists do not realize that stopping in the middle of the highway is not a good idea. He also said that sometimes the decision of wear to go next can be overwhelming, so much so that tourists stop in the middle of the crosswalk deciding which way to go next. Paul talked about how he did a study on how to loose friends when he accidently set a friend's house on fire by turning on lights that his wife had draped wet clothes on to dry. Christa spoke on how the government lost her application for a job she had already interviewed on, but had to reapply for it anyway. When trying to reapply, the government website informed her that she had in fact applied for the job and could not reapply. John talked about how the traffic in Portland is horrendous and the housing costs had encouraged him to move from the city to somewhere less expensive.
April 18th meeting
The Toastmaster of the day was Lee, who talked about the weather of Newport, Oregon. Some of his facts were how August 25th normally is one of the warmest days at 65 degrees. He even said that there are more sunny days here in Newport than rainy days. The general evaluator was Peter who said that the rant idea for Table Topics was a good idea. He also said he liked the theme of the day from Lee, though said not to tell the Chamber of Commerce his idea.
The speech of the day was River, who gave her introduction speech. River talked about how she has traveled to different states, and countries. She also talked about how she has taught special education, but the job she really loves is being a life coach. Laimons was her evaluator and he said that it was nice that she presented herself calmly. He did say that her ending needed a bit more of a finish, a bow to tie it all off.

Table Topics
Lee's speech
Lee spoke about the pinewood derby that happened this last weekend. He brought in a box of pinewood derby cars to help demonstrate what the derby is like. In the speech, Lee showed how each of the kids gets a car building kit, and what that looked like. Next he showed how they would piece together the cars. After that, he took several cars from his box to show what the cars could look like. Some of the cars he brought were made by his children, and some were examples from other people. Lastly, he showed a picture of the different cars that raced last weekend. Lauralee was Lee's speech evaluator. She complimented him on giving so many examples and bringing us into his story with word pictures, like his example of a dad who brought in the car "his kid made" on a velvet pillow with tassels. Another thing Lauralee brought up was talking to the box while he was getting his examples out.
Dave's speech
There were two speakers today, Dave and Lee. Dave spoke first on how he wanted to be an airborne ranger, and got his wings. He talked about how he was called a TURD, Trainee Under Rigorous Development, and they got to do a lot of exercising. They even were woken up in the middle of the night to do PT. After awhile, they got to learn how to jump out of perfectly good airplanes. During the jumps, the jumps got progressively harder. One day, Dave said he questioned whether he really wanted to go out of the plane in the darkness of night. After jumping out of that plane, and being stuck in a tree with his lines crossed for over an hour, he decided he no longer wanted to be a ranger. Peter was the evaluator for Dave's speech. He said that while Peter had heard this speech before, he liked how Dave brought his life into each of his speeches, and complimented Dave's storytelling ability. Another thing Peter said is that he liked how he added the whimper and sound effects to the story. One thing he warned against is rocking while he is talking to the audience.
Toastmaster
The Toastmaster of the day was Paul, who talked about how adults can still have fun. He claimed that playing and having fun does not end with childhood but should continue throughout your life. At the end, to prove that adults can still be childlike, he threw cotton snowballs at us. Avital was the general evaluator for the day, and suggested the evaluations focus on the speaker, but also be general enough for everyone.

Laimons was the Table Topics Master, who asked about several topics. He asked Peter advice he would give his children about choosing a career. Peter said he had been asked by his daughter about what she should do. He told his daughter to do something that will sustain her and that she liked, at least a little. Later she could do something that she liked, as she split her time between the two activities. She now works with tracking atmospheric data, and plays in a jazz ensemble. John, a visitor to our meeting, was asked about singing. Laimons asked what makes a good singer, to which John said something about the person's voice needs to be unique and recognizable to make it in the music industry. He also said they need the basic features about singing, such as good pitch and being able to carry a tune. John won table topics today.

What is the competent communicator
The Toastmasters program helps you through manuals such as the Competent Communicator, but is not a formal course such as Communications 111. There are no grades or tests, but instead you have Table Topics and the Ice Breaker Speech. Club meetings help you to work together to study and practice your communication and leadership skills.
You can work with introductions, perform roles during club meetings, and work on projects, such as the ten speech projects in the Competent Communicator. In this manual you build speaking skills with each new project. Most of the speeches are five to seven minutes focusing on a single skill. It works on everything from organization, to body language, to researching a topic. This will help you learn to speak with clarity and confidence.
With each speech you give, you will be evaluated to help you grow and learn. They will point out strengths and offer suggestions on how to improve the speech. This manual focuses on the basics of public speaking, and your evaluator will focus on the basics as well. If you are working on vocal variety for your speech, they will also focus on it when giving your evaluation. The manual will help you gain the skills through it's ten projects, then you will receive the Competent Communicator Award.
Want to learn more than just the basics? There are plenty more manuals for communication that you can work on, ranging from storytelling, to career related learning. After you have finished the manual, Toastmasters International will send a letter to your employer if you wish them to, notifying them of your achievement. This is especially nice if your work has a program to pay for you to be in Toastmasters.

What is a Toastmaster
Toastmasters may seem like a funny word. The word can make weddings and toasts come to mind, while it does help with those types of toasts, that is not what Toastmasters focuses on.
The toastmaster of the day is the person who leads the meeting. After the president calls the meeting to order, they hand control over to the toastmaster of the day.
Here is what the toastmaster does:
They will invite the general evaluator to introduce their evaluation team.
They will invite the general evaluator to introduce their evaluation team.
Welcomes the speaker, and tells what their speech is about, the title, and if it is a manual speech.
The toastmaster of the day also welcomes the topicsmaster, and makes sure there are good transitions between the speech(es), and table topics.
They also need to get the times of the speeches, both prepared and impromptu.
Toastmaster welcomes the general evaluator, and asks for the table topics award to be given. After this, they give the meeting back over to the president.
If this seems overwhelming, don't worry!! After joining the club, you will not be assigned to be toastmaster until you are comfortable with the meeting, and know what the rolls are. At Yaquina Toastmasters, new members are usually assigned timer for their first roll, which is easy.

Table topics winner
April 4th meeting
Today was the business meeting, which was a bit longer than normal. Lee explained about our event this Friday, where Dave will be the speaker, and Lee will be the speech evaluator. Brian will be the Toastmaster, and we will do a short table topics session. Dave presented Brian's competent leadership award today! He also talked about next year's officers.
The Toastmaster of the day was Dave, whose theme was his recent vacation to see his fiance. He talked about how her cooking was just as good as he remembered and some of the places they went. Laurie was the general evaluator of the day, and she complimented Dave on his smooth transitions. One thing she suggested was for Brian to give balanced criticisms and compliments even if they are small.
Paul was the only speaker of the day, and talked about his trip to New Zealand. He talked about how his wife was in a group invited to sing with the Sweet Adelines. During his talk he showed us pictures and a video of singing in a restaurant. There were pictures of hobbiton in Matamata, New Zealand. Other places he highlighted were restaurants, like the picnic he went to that had three very large bowls of food and landscapes. For hobbiton, he showed a picture of him standing by one of the outside's if a In the speech, Paul also talked about how one of the beautiful catholic churches was damaged by a storm, and was being held up with blocks. Brian was the evaluator for Paul. He complimented Paul's gestures, but warned that while Paul speaks with his pictures, his gestures are mostly to his right side.
Lauralee was the impromptu table topics master of the day. Her table topics were based off of the currently popular Facebook game would you rather. She asked Peter if he would rather have a lion or elephant as a pet. His reply was that his cats would not like him if he got a lion, and they would be hard to feed, so he would prefer an elephant. Laurie said that she liked audiobooks and paper books equally depending on the activity, when asked if she prefered one over the other. When driving for long periods of time, she likes having an audiobook with her. In contrast, she likes to snuggle down with a good book at home. Laimons won table topics after being asked if he prefers jazz or rock and roll. He said that in Gothenburg, Sweden he heard The Delta Rhythm Boys, a jazz gospel group, but he did say that he could tolerate Rock Around the Clock because it was more like jazz.
The word of the day was occams razor. The timer of the day was Lee.
