Francophone Traditions
Wayne called the evening to order
and introduced our chair for the evening, Leo.
With the theme of the evening being Francophone Traditions, Leo's
Chairperson's Welcome delighted everyone.
He said several quotes and slogans in French and translated them in
English, as well as telling some interesting and fun facts about Quebec and growing up in Cornwall.
For agenda changes, Wayne volunteered to be the laugh counter and
Vern took on the role of Table Topics.
Our guest, and newest member by the end of the evening, Tracy,
introduced herself and told everyone why she was joining Toastmasters.
Joke of the day was done by John. Toast and Timer this evening was Keith S. and
Heidi filled the role of Literary Corner.
From Heidi's reading came an interesting quote/saying, "Laughter is
like manure, it works best if it is spread around...”
Tony was next with his speech titled "I am
Canadian". Tony ended his speech
with having the members stand and join him in singing our national anthem. A minute was taken for written evaluations.
Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down, this was the theme for
Table Topics. Vern did an excellent job
of explaining how this worked and demonstrating it by going firsts. Pick a random topic and give both some thumbs
up and some thumbs down points. All
members participated.
Keith M. was next as the General Evaluator. He first asked for Apryl to do Tony's speech
evaluation. Tony had asked her to be
extra critical so he can grow his speaking skills. Next up was the reports. Keith S. gave his Timer report, Wayne his
Laugh Counter report (there were 27 laughs so far), And Vern his Table Topics
report. Wayne was this evening's winner for Table
Topics. Keith M. then gave his report on
the meeting itself.
The next part of the meeting was given to a review
of the Executive Meeting from last week.
This was followed by Anything for the Good of Toastmasters. Marg was next with her Quizmaster's Report.
The evening concluded with seeking a Chairperson
for next week's meeting, Guest comments and the closing remarks given by Leo.
