May 23rd review

The Toastmaster of the day was Peter, whose theme of the day was relationship humor. He was evaluated by the first time general evaluator, River. She said that Peter made us groan by his jokes, but ran efficiently. River said that Avital had a great balance of compliments and improvements that she told to John. Diane was complimented for her thorough evaluation of Laimons.
There were two speaker of the day. Laimons spoke about healthcare, and his recent open heart surgery he went through this last year. He talked about how the healthcare his family has, bluecross and medicare. He said that our healthcare system is broken and we need to work on our system, so we are not stuck with it. Diane was his evaluator, and she said he was very passionate about his topic. and used his voice to convey his message.
The second speaker was John, giving his ice breaker speech. He talked about how he loved going fishing and camping when he was younger, but decided to be a doctor during his first year at OSU. After second guessing his plan, he moved to to University of Oregon, where he pursued the humanities. In 2008, he decided to go into environmental science. Now he works for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. His evaluator was Avital, who said he had good volume, and did not heavily rely on his notes. One thing she did suggest was for him to be more open with his gestures.
Brian was the table topics master of the day. He asked River who her favorite pet was, and she talked about her dog Sadie. She, River's dog, is a 15 year old Jack Russell mex, and tries to play with a soccer ball that is way too big for her. Paul said his favorite animal was a sloth, since that is how he felt when he fell back asleep this morning. Diane was asked whether she preferred scales or fur, and he told us about how she enjoys scuba diving. She said she enjoys taking pictures of these fish. Paul and Diane were the winners of table topics.
Lauralee was the timer of the day, and Lee was the grammarian of the day, with the word Avow and Aver.
