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.

Review of May 14th
The Toastmaster of the day was Dave, for his last time as a Toastmaster for Newport Toastmasters. He talked about how he has made a lot of friends at our club, like Peter who he enjoys talking about fishing with, and Paul who has been a friend through church and Toastmasters. Brian was the general evaluator who said that Diane, our grammarian, gave a great description of her job, and Dave had a smooth meeting.
There were two speakers of the day, Avital and Christa. The first speaker was Avital, who gave a practice speech for a conference she will be speaking at soon. She talked about how she used to work for Microsoft before she was diagnosed with a disease that changed her life. After that she left her job to find a way to heal, which she did. Now she goes around to teach others that life can be better than it is now. Lauralee was her evaluator who said that she was very energetic and expressive with her hands. Her volume was really good, and she was expressive in her facial expressions. One thing that Lauralee did point out was that her speech was a very brief overview on how Avital has her eyes on the goal and how she puts service first. Something Lauralee suggested was that she adds some specific examples of how she does that.
Christa was the second speaker of the day, who gave her second to last speech for her competent communicator. She talked about why fish need managers. During her speech she talked about the tragedy of the commons, which is a theory about how if there is a field to graze, shepherds will continue to grow their herds to exploit the land to get more money. Similarly, fishermen would continue to fish to gain more and more profit, which would cause overfishing, leading to the collapse of the population of fish. To combat this, there are limits on how many of a type of fish you can catch, there are plans put in place to protect populations of fish, and bolster fish populations that are endangered. Lee was her evaluator who said that she did a very good job on applying why fish need to be managed to our live because of the way Newport is supported by the fishing industry.
Paul was in charge of table topics today, who decided to try something new for table topics today. He had the members write down their own table topics and allow people to choose from the three table topics prompts their neighbor wrote. Brian, a guest, talked about why he came to Toastmasters. He said that since his mother was a Toastmaster, and Lee had invited to come see what Toastmasters was like, he decided to try it out. River talked about how she had a Volkswagon beetle that she learned how to drive a stickshift on. She said that her dad took her around the back roads in Texas to teach her how to drive it, and assured us that she did master being able to change gears and not roll backwards on hills. River was the table topics winner.
John was the timer, and Diane was the grammarian of the day with the word of the day being elevate.
