Good Day to Everyone
Last night May 26th. the Awesome Linquists of Listowel met again. Our Theme was Yard Work.
Brian started the meeting with the call to order and a great joke. Gentleman, if you are going to fool around make sure you do not end up hiding in a refrigerator. Thanks Brian for a good laugh. I chaired the meeting and had fun. How can you help but not to have a great time with the members we have. John was our Loyal Toast and Timer and Brenda was our Language Enricher. Great job by both of you. We had four speakers, Felix who spoke on a New Phase in Farming, Diane, whose speech was titled A Healthy World For All People and Jane who spoke from the Special Occasion Speeches manual to do a roast. She roasted her husband Keith. Stay tuned to next weeks meeting and we will find out how their evening together was when they went home.
Audrey did an Educational Module on Building a Team. All the speeches where excellent and Audrey’s Module was very interesting. This is something that a lot of Companies should listen to.
Brian stepped up to the plate and did Table Topics, this was fun, Keith won the award for the evening, congratulations Keith.
Keith, Ken . and George where our evaluators for the evening. Thank-You.
For Audrey we had a round table evaluation and likewise for the whole meeting.
Our next meeting will be June 2nd and after the regular meeting we will be having an Executive meeting.
Our year end Banquet will be June 23rd. we will be going to a Restaurant but no decision has been made as to which one yet.
Once again Thank-you to everyone for your great support.
Remember if you are going anywhere watch out for the car in front of the one behind you and keep the rubber side down
Yours Sincerely
Harvey

May 19, 2005 Meeting
Hello Fellow Toastmasters.
Last night was another fun filled evening. We did not have a lot of members out however this only proves that our club can be small but still fantastic.
Allan did the call to order. He had no chance to prepare anything as he agreed at the last minute to do this.
Good job Allan. Brenda was our Loyal Toast and Timer, Thanks Brenda. Audrey was our Language Enricher and with the theme being Victoria Day she choose the work Prudent which when you think about it, this word well describes the Queens such as Queen Victoria whom we have to thank for this holiday. We had no literary corner, I rushed out of the house and forgot to take the material along that I had prepared.(sounds like a cheap excuse to me).
Jane was our gracious chairperson and Jane, you did a great job, you took the time between speakers to share some history with us about this special weekend coming up. Like always, you where well prepared. Thank-you Jane.
We had two speakers, Linda D and Linda P. Both speakers where well prepared and gave excellent speeches. Congratulations to Linda P who will now be receiving her CTM. Brenda and Harvey where the evaluators.
Adrienne was our Table Topics Chairperson, Adrienne gave us all a chance to speak on what we would do if the Queen stopped in for a visit on the long weekend. Allan won this contest, he said he would be processing bull calves and that he would include Her Majesty in the activities, this I would like to see.
Keith was our Quizmaster for this evening. Thank-you Keith.
I was General Evaluator for the evening, I could only come up with one grow point for the whole evening.
When it came to anything for the good of Toastmasters, Brenda filled us in on how our club was doing this year and she also mentioned the officers training that is availabe in June.
Thanks to everyone for the great evening

Greetings Fellow Toastmasters.
Another great evening was enjoyed by all who attended last night. It was Election Time.
John (President Elect.) started off with the Call to Order and then our new Seargeant At Arms gave the Toast.
I chaired the meeting and it was fun. We now have a new executive in place for the following season and at this time I would like to congratulate everyone of them and wish them the best.
Even though the meeting was running a bit late we still took time for Table Topics. Brenda chaired this portion of the meeting and Ken tied with Erinne one of new members.
Erinne along with Linda D and Felix where inducted last night. (We need to get some more pins and also their name tags made up).
After the regular meeting we talked a bit about the Year End Banquet, however a decision was not reached.
We decided to wait until next weeks meeting to take another vote as to whether we would like to have a pot luck dinner at the church or go to a restaurant, this is something you may want to think about before the next meeting.
Linda M gave a wonderful speech for Jane who could not be there last night, Jane was elected as our new Vice President of Education.
I know Jane wrote her own speech but the way Linda presented it WOW. Linda, did you ever think of getting into Politics?
Thank-you Heidy for filling in for Linda F last evening as Secretary, and to everyone else for stepping up to the plate and helping out.
Adrienne did a fine job as General Evaluator, Thank-you Adrienne.
Once again thanks to everyone for your great support and I hope to see you at the next meeting.
