Hello Fellow Linguists of Listowel and Friends,
This past Thursday's Linguists of Listowel's meeting was an extremely enjoyable meeting filled with many laughs. We had 13 members in attendance and one guest (Marilyn Miller's sister - Georgina Salter). The theme for the night was "'St. Patrick's Day Celebrations in Listowel" and Keith McCluskie called the meeting to order by introducing Sharon O'D'Arcey who was our chair for the night. She went over the history of St. Patrick's day and what the day means to her.
Audrey Orth started the laughs going with the role of Joke of the Day by telling three Irish jokes. Lorna Vanderploeg took on the role of Literary Corner where she shared some facts about St. Patrick's day. I held the role of Toast and Timer where I gave a toast to Canada where we are able to celebrate all different cultures. The Grammarian role was done by Jane Stoltz and she challenged everyone to use the phrase "Luck of the Irish" . It was used 19 times and Jane counted 93 laughs.
Our first speaker was George Nichol and did an interpretive reading of the monodrama from a George Bernard Shaw play entitled "Getting Married". Our second speaker was Marie McCutcheon and she gave us a very informative speech and discussion about the dangers of microwaving food. Next Jane Stoltz did an Educational Corner on the different levels at Toastmasters. Keith McCluskie evaluated George's speech.
Keith Stoltz did a great job as Table Topic Master and asked us all questions dealing with St. Patrick's Day. The winner was Keith McCluskie. Marilyn Miller took on the role of general evaluator, where she explained her role very well and gave us feedback on the overall meeting.
Hope to see you all at our next regular meeting on Thursday.
Brent
