Brian has fun with “My Favourite actor/actress is” theme at our weekly Toastmaster meeting. He skillfully chaired the meeting as he told each member why they resembled a famous actor or actress. The Toastmaster members were transformed into everyone from Mr. Bean to Judge Judy.
George did the call to order by telling us that the Linguists of Listowel Murder Mystery crew was his pick for best actors and actresses. George also gave a toast to Queen Victoria and to Canada. Jane presented two words for language enricher. Effusive: which is an adjective meaning excessively demonstrative. Topsy-Turvy: This means in utter confusion or disorder. Sheryl read an article for literary corner. Keith presented an Education Module called “Creating the Best Club Climate”.
Ken had fun with table topics. Half the members were the producers and the other half were the actors/actresses. There was no clear winner although Audrey did get picked many times. Keith presented speech number one from the Interpretive Reading manual. Jane presented a speech about Josh Groban and then played one of his pieces on the piano. Marie evaluated Keith’s interpretive reading and there was a round table evaluation for Jane. Audrey kept us listening and guessing for quizmaster. Linda P summed up the evening as General Evaluator.
Be sure to attend our next meeting on June 1st with the theme “The places you will see and visit during the holidays. Same Place – Same Time.

It was Book Review time at the weekly Toastmaster meeting in Listowel. It was an evening full of laughter and fun. It was a night where we used the language enricher word a record number of times. It was a night where we gained a new member. Thank you David W for joining our exciting club. Nicole was our guest for our meeting.
Sheryl started the meeting with a complimentary welcome to Brian, the chair for the meeting. Brian kept the meeting running smoothly as he introduced each member as a character from a book. Brian told us his favourite book is called “Hitchhiking Through the Galaxy”.
Gary toasted Canada by reminding everyone about our freedoms that we have. Freedoms to read any book we like. George was language enricher. His word was “Shilly Shalley”. It is a verb which means; to act in an undecided manner or to hesitate. The word was used 11 times during the meeting. One person used it three times in table topics.
Jane entertained everyone with tongue twisters. She had everyone in the room read one tongue twister. Keith presented the “Going Beyond the Club” Educational Module. Everyone had fun with Audrey’s table topics. She had each member take a book and do a one minute book review. Keith won this round of table topics.
Brian wrapped up the meeting with another humorous story. Please attend our next meeting on Thursday May 25th starting at 7:14 pm. The theme is “My favourite actor/actress is……..

Toastmaster had a fun time with the Mother's Day theme at our weekly meeting. Linda P skillfully and humorously had everyone laughing all night long. Linda told us her favourite motherly sayings.
Gary introduced Dave W, our guest for the evening. George provided us with a toast to mothers and to Canada. Gary provided the word “Slugabed” for language enricher. A slugabed is someone who stays in bed longer than they should. Audrey read a story called “How we Kept Mother’s Day”.
Brian provided his point of view on why Listowel needs a Recreational Centre and Gary provide the counter point of view on why Listowel does not need a Recreational Centre. Newest member Sheryl presented a 6 minute impromptu speech. Sheryl did an outstanding job considering she has not presented her ice breaker speech yet. Ken gave a glowing evaluation of Sheryl’s speech.
Jane presented table topics. She asked all members to pick up a garage sale item from the churches garage sale table. The members had to explain why they were giving this gift to their mother or spouse. Ken won table topics with his memorable “one boot in the grave” story. The evening ended with Keith as quizmaster and Audrey as General Evaluator.
Plan on attending the next meeting on May 18th with the theme of “Book Reviews”
