November 22, 2012 Theme: Historical Events

Heidi started the evening off with the Call to Order and introduced our Chairperson for the evening, Apryl. 

Apryl took the lectern and with her opening remarks, as well as every time she spoke, gave us historical highlights on events that happened on November 22nd.  There were two agenda changes, the first is that Heidi would do the Joke of the Day and, second, John would be the Ah and Laugh counter.

Val led us into the traditional toast as the Toast and Timer for the evening.  She gave us the history behind the toast, fitting for the theme of the evening.

Leo was next with the Literary Corner.  He read a short story on the history of the first Canadian railway. 

This evening Tony did his speech using visual aids.  His topic this evening was his progression of footwear throughout his life.  He had a variety of footwear on display and explained how he had obtained and what he liked about them.  One minute for Written Evaluations followed.

Keith S. was out Table Topics Master.  He changed the rules a bit by making it two minutes in length instead of the customary one.  He had each member give him a number between one and twelve.  He then gave the member the associated question to that number.  Keith kept the Table Topics related to the theme and all the questions were historical events that the member had to relate to in their impromptu speaking.

Leo was up again as the General Evaluator.  He first asked for the reports to be given.  Keith M. was first with his evaluation of Tony's speech.  Val was next with her Toast and Timer report, followed by John with his report as Ah and Laugh Counter.   Last, Keith S. gave his report by announcing the winner for Table Topics.  Leo then gave his General Evaluator report.

The Quiz Master's Report was next.  Tonight this role was filled by Vern and he challenged our memory with various things said by members throughout the evening.

There were a few things discussed in Anything For The Good of Toastmasters.  One of them being the upcoming Christmas Meal and Gift Exchange on December 20th.  It was decided to have this evening catered.  Val then asked for volunteers to fill the roles for next week's meeting.

Apryl finished the evening by giving her closing remarks, ending another evening of fun and laughter.
