June 5th Meeting
Lee was the Toastmaster of the Day, whose theme was graduation. He announced that his wife, Kathleen will be rejoining us full time after she retires this year. She gave a speech at the Siletz High School graduation, where she challenged everyone to leave the world a better place than when they arrived, and each be themselves. Christa was his evaluator, who said that he had very smooth transitions and a great theme. For Brian N and Cody, she suggested working more on the sandwich method instead of going through your evaluation in a linear style.
Lauralee gave her folk tale speech called Tale of Three Brothers, written by JK Rowling as part of the Tales of Beedle the Bard. In the tale, three brothers created a bridge across a treacherous river where travelers usually drown, and angered death. He gave them a prize for evading them, but then searched to take them for his own afterwards. The oldest brother received the Elder Wand, before he was killed by another wizard who stole his wand. The second brother was given the resurrection stone to bring back the girl he loved. However, she was separated from him by a veil, and he died by suicide to join her. The last brother asked for an object that would allow him to leave Death without being followed. Death then gave him a cloak of invisibility. When the third brother grew old, he shed the cloak and departed with death as a friend. Lauralee then said that the three brothers were Antioch, Cadmus and Ignotus Peverell. She then flipped up her hood, held up her stone and wand saying whoever succeeds in uniting all three objects become Master of Death. Brian was Lauralee's evaluator, who said she did a good job at incorporating vocal variety into her speech. He also complimented her use of gestures in this speech. One suggestion he had was to make sure and avoid a sing song tone.
Kristina was the second speaker, who gave her leadership speech. She said that she had a democratic style of leading, meaning she wants the input of the group to to help make decisions. Her opposite style is authoritative, where they use enthusiasm to encourage those they are leading. Giving an example from her own life, she is now working at Salishan Adventures where she is creating the entire program from scratch. This includes five different segments of the program, and she needs to get all new equipment and a staff to run the program. She has been given two months to do this project, and said she has been learning how to embrace techniques of other leadership styles to help her be successful in this job. Cody was her evaluator, who complimented her vocal variety and adding humor into her speech. One suggestion he had for Kristina is to look each member in the eye as she spoke.
Jalene asked Dave what degree he would get if he could. He said he would get a degree in Bovine Scatology, because BS is one of the best skills people can have. Svetlana said that she remembers how formal and dignified her daughters graduation was, which she appreciated. Laurie said that she would tell the graduating classes that life doesn't have to be as serious as we take it. Dave won the table topics trophy of the day.
