Meeting attendees were; George Nichol, Vern Noseworthy, Audrey Orth, Leo Brisebois, Keith McCluskie, Brent Jemmett, Jill Wagemans, Marg Van Donkersgoed, Val Hummel, Tracy D'Arcey and Heidi Menzi.
Vern called the meeting to order and introduced our chairperson Heidi Menzi. Heidi provided opening remarks and reviewed agenda changes. Jill provided the joke of the day and Brent provided the loyal toast to Canada and kept time during the meeting.
Keith was the grammarian and provided the word of the day "adventurous" which was used 17 times during the meeting. Marg kept track of the number of laughs during the meeting which totaled 30 good laughs in all. Keith had the role of literary corner and read an article about a young boy's struggles waiting for a kidney transplant.
Tracy did a great job presenting her first speech (The Ice Breaker speech) which was entitled "Just About Me". Vern practiced a toast that he was going to present during a lunch celebration for 25 years of success in business.
Leo presented an educational module about finding new members for your club. Val was the Table Topics master and she kept everyone on their toes in anticipation as she called out their number and the corresponding topic that they had to speak for 1 minute about.
Vern evaluated Tracy's speech and reflected on what she did well during her presentation. Audrey was the general evaluator and reflected on what went well with the meeting and some suggestions for improvements for the next meeting. Audrey also happened to be the winner of Table Topics.
George had us all thinking/remembering as he provided us with snip-its of conversations during the meeting with his role as Quiz Master. Heidi had her closing remarks and adjourned the meeting with an invitation to enjoy snacks and some social time following the meeting.
