Hello Fellow Linguists of Listowel and Friends,
At this past Thursday's Linguists of Listowel, we had a very enjoyable meeting. There were 9 members in attendance. Keith McCluskie called the meeting to order by introducing Sharon D'Arcey as our chairperson for the meeting. Sharon introduced our theme for the evening of "Social Media" by telling us what social media is and how it is used in today's society.
I took on the role of Joke of the Day by telling a couple of jokes about Facebook. George Stevers held the role of Toast and Timer and he gave our toast to Canada. Keith Stoltz for the role of Literary Corner read a story from Gold Wing Magazine about a trip that some Americans took on their motorcycles through Western Canada.
Our first speaker was our newest member, Karen Bott's Icebreaker speech called "All About Me" and we all got to know more about her. Our second speaker was Rich Boertien had a very entertaining and informative speech called "Reduce the Stress in Your Life".
Sharon D'Arcey also filled in for the role of Table Topic master and had us all speak about the pros and cons of social media. The winner was Leo Brisebois.
I tested everyone's listening skills as Quizmaster and Heidi Menzi took on the role of general evaluator, where she introduced our evaluators and went over what we did well and some grow points during the meeting. Keith evaluated Karen's speech and Leo evaluated Rich's speech.
Hope to see you all at our next regular meeting on Thursday with our theme "Boost your Hometown".
Also, remember Tuesday is Mt. Forest's workshop on "Be An Exceptional Presenter!" by Gary Mull.
