Grammarian – word of the day: Royden McCoag challenged us with the word MAXIM which means a short rule of content ie Look Before You Leap" It was used at least two times during the meeting
The evening had the most interesting speeches from our
speechcrafters and it was lots of fun! They are so terrific and well
on their way in getting their butterflies flying in formation. The
speeches talked about the stresses of finding a topic to speak about,
the drama determination of teenagers, living in a heart beat of a
changing work place, cub experiences as a youngster and aging with
grace. They were followed by oral evaluations by seasoned toastmasters.
