Hello Fellow Linguists of Listowel and Friends,
On Thursday's Linguists of Listowel's meeting, we had another very enjoyable meeting. The theme for the night was "Jeopardy". We had 11 members and one guest (Karen Bott) in attendance. Brian Camacho called the meeting to order and gave his thoughts on what the theme of Jeopardy meant to him. I was the chairperson for the evening and opened the meeting by giving the definition of Jeopardy and talked about the game show Jeopardy which I used throughout the meeting.
Keith Stoltz held the role of Toast and Timer where he gave a timely toast to Canada. The Grammarian role was done by Heidi Menzi and she challenged everyone to use the word "Wabash" and it was used 5 times. Wabash means good man or an Indian word meaning did it well.
Our speaker Richard Boertien presented speech number 2 in the Advanced Communication and Leadership Program which was "Resources For Informing". He told a very entertaining speech called "I Call It Home Now". It was about his hometown of Listowel and it was very informative. The speech was evaluated by George Nichol and he gave great feedback. We also had an Educational Module where we learned what goes into creating an outstanding Club climate which was given by Audrey Orth.
Leo Brisebois did a good job as Table Topics Master and had us all ready to play some baseball. He started telling a story of a baseball game and we had to keep the story going to explain how the winning run was scored. The winner was George Nichol. Jane Stoltz was our Quizmaster and she challenged everyone's listening skills with some of the good phrases for the night. Sharon D'Arcey took on the role of general evaluator, where she went over with everyone what we did well and what we could improve on.
A Challenge from the President to the Linguists of Listowel - I will give a prize to the member who brings out the most guests for the month of February during our Open House month.
Hope to see you all on Thursday for our next meeting.
