Good Morning Fellow Toastmasters.
Another great meeting was held last night at the Golden Barrel Restaurant. Audrey started the meeting and she did a fantastic job. Thank-you Audrey. Dianne B. did the toast to Canada and also did an excellent job. You both deserve several rounds of Applause. I chaired the meeting and with the theme being Home Remedies we had fun. Linda P was our Language Enricher and she used the work Poultice how appropriate. Grace gave us all some great ideas when she did Literary Corner. Do you realize how good onions and garlic are for you.
Some awards where handed out and we will soon have the opportunity to hand some more out. Congratulations to everyone.
We had two speakers last night, John did point of view and Brian did counter point. Lets get together around a campfire some evening and continue on with this discussion, it would be fun.
Jane was our table topic master and this was fun also, Thank-you Jane.
Our next meeting will be held at Keith and Jane’s place, the following one at John and then the next one at the SCHMIDT HOUSE. I am looking forward to seeing you all there.
Good Luck to John and all the new executive for the following year.
Once again thanks to everyone for your great support this year.
Have a great weekend and remember No matter where you go, There you are.
Keith, keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up.

June 16, 2005 Meeting
What a lot of laughter and fun! Our theme was antonyms. Diane Bender commenced the meeting
with a doctor joke aimed at John, however the audience was much amused. John chaired the evening with his awesome wit and humour throughout the entire meeting. Allan took the role of toast and timer with much ease considering he was asked on the last minute. Audrey Orth presented the club for the evening with the word ideogram which means a picture or symbol. George gave the members a humourous fishing story from Chicken Soup for the Father's Soul. Grace awed the audience with an impromtu speech on What Were You Doing on the Hottest Week in June of 2005? She retold her story of building a brick walkway to their new gazebo. Linda Piper spoke with ease and grace on Going Beyond the Club educational module.
Table Topics gave the members an opportunity to introduce someone in the club who were present and talk for one minute on their bad points and then quickly speech on the person's good points. Way to go Linda Moore on such a great idea! Jane was general evaluator for the meeting. The meeting ended at 8:40 p.m.

June 9, 2005 Meeting
It was a fun night as Toastmasters gathered to celebrate the theme of Potluck Suppers. Ken got the meeting started with a funny story about eating. John was the chairperson. John used his humour throughout the meeting by telling funny “potluck” stories about each of the members.
George presented the club with a Loyal Toast. He made us proud that we are Canadians. For Language Enricher, Keith presented the word ameliorate. Ameliorate is a verb which means to improve. Example: I am trying to ameliorate my writing ability to make this column more enjoyable.
Linda D was in charge of Literary Corner. She spoke on a book written by David Kuhl MD called What Dying People Want. This was a very educational and enjoyable literary corner. Diane B. presented her 10th speech to earn her Silver. Congratulations Diane B. Diane gave a very entertaining speech called The Nourishing Power of Laughter. She told us how important it is to laugh and how more laughter will bring more members to our meetings. Ken did an outstanding job evaluating Diane.
Linda P gave us an Educational Module called Creating an Introduction. Linda taught us the importance of creating an outstanding introduction. We had lots of fun as Brenda guided us through Table Topics. There were too many laughs to count as each member tried to speak for one minute. Ken was today’s winner in table topics.
Allan wrapped up the meeting as General Evaluator. He gave us many glow points and some grow points. Thank you Allan for your participation in this role.
Make sure to attend our next meeting on June 16th. The theme for the meeting will be antonyms. Our summer banquet will be held on June 23rd at the Golden Barrel restaurant in Listowel. Please contact Harvey to let him know if you are NOT coming.

The theme presented the solution to no scheduled speakers at our June 2nd meeting.
Besides Linda D Aunt Emma joke,
Ken’s florist friars Toast & 2 Timers report,
Jane’s Ayr newspaper article on “Women’s work is never Done” 1900’s, (despite labour Saving Inventions) the current exhibit at Princeton, Ont Museum,
Linda P memory taxing Quiz &
Brian’s constructive evaluation,
George challenged us with ‘mendacity & mendacious’ which means untruthful!
Marie led the 10 of us through Table Topics with Quotations from ‘the famous’ such as Einstein, Caesar, Hitler, Mark Twain, Napoleon, Al Capone. Who said something like the following: Imagination is greater than knowledge; Don’t interrupt an enemy when he is making a mistake; Scent is remembered most or best; Wear a smile or carry a gun!
After Break, Keith refereed the Improv Games Questions only? Shake hands with emotion; Teen & parent at 3 am, & my favourite Hitchhiker.
We had a great time & you who missed out are the losers.
Hopefully, you’ll laugh & learn with us next week.
By Brenda who may have forgotten stuff (but not that it was fun)
