Toastmasters
Our meeting last night was fun and it included lots of laughs according to the laugh counter. "Awesome" was the word of the evening and it was used over 15 times. Thanks to Lorna VanderPloeg, our Grammarian, awesome eh!
The theme; past, present and future is based upon the quote "Yesterday is History, Tomorrow a Mystery, Today is a Gift, That's why it's called the Present. The theme is also timely as we reflect on Remembrance Day and those who fought and have fallen for our country's freedom.
Jane Stoltz, who was chair for last night’s meeting, did a fantastic job keeping thing moving forward and on schedule as every meeting should be run.
This was the second week for our Youth Leadership group and it started with introductions which flowed into the Joke of the Day done by myself about a parrot named Moses and the dog named Jesus.
Youth Leadership participants; Lexi and Caityln both presented their Ice Breaker speeches last night and both presented very well for their first speech presentation. They were both evaluated and were provided with lots of glow points and at least one grow point to help improve their speech presentation for next week. Overall they were wonderful.
Table Topics was presented by Lucy D’Arcey. She had us all speak about a famous person and make us all believe that their success and achievements in life came from being in Toastmasters.
The Table Topics winner was a tie between Lexi and Caityln. Way to go!
Sample speech was provided by Valrie Hummel. She is so humorous because she appears so serious and makes you just want to keep laughing. Our Timer George Nichol who explained his role and gave us a toast to Canada.
All in all we had lot of laughs and lot of fun.
