Good evening Toastmasters! Thank you to our Toastmaster Pat Haugse for delivering a FUN meeting this week! Way to pick up the reigns. and LEAD! Now we all have Food for Thought.... and more insight to the one of his favorite things to ponder.... FOOD... He never met a Pizza he didn't like! MANY of us connected with the theme (quite literally)..as we shared the Donuts that Detective Haugse shared! He knows ALL the best spots to grab a donut! With two guests in attendance... Rumor has it we might have a couple NEW members real soon! Think about who in your SOI you might invite to our club. guests make our meetings MORE fun. we all have to step up our game and ensure that we explain who, what, when, where, why, how ..Toastmasters do what we do! Prepare for your roles.by answering these questions yourself! Our meeting had a tight timeline with 4 Prepared Speeches... and Elizabeth Vidmar hosted a GREAT round of Table Topics relating to FOOD... The questions were simple ... fun and easy to speak to. Well done Elizabeth! Though the WOD: Neophilia ...proved to be a bit of a challenge to incorporate...but a good word to add to your vocabulary! Congratulations to the Winners Best Table Topics: Colette (guest) - Colette was asked to describe herself as a FOOD. She is now known as a Fruit Flan... something light and small... which she aspires to be herself! Best Evaluator: Amelia Autrey- delivered an encouraging evaluation inserting the right amount of constructive feedback sprinkled with humor to help Cody grow on his Toastmaster quest. Best Speaker: Ray Pezolt - speaking to THE #1 threat to our Electronic Banking System... Cyberterrorism. This is a serious & interesting topic ... Great Job Ray! *Kathy Barrett the Riveting reviewer shared: "Can I be an Officer? YES, YOU can!" Having been an officer myself I agree with Kathy 100%! When you challenge yourself to participate and get involved in the Leadership Team of the club and you WILL GROW! Be sure to read the e-mail sent Wednesday by Feliks regarding : Officer Nominations <<<.LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD.>>> We all come to Toastmasters for different reasons, if you are finding yourself "Comfortable" at the meetings... maybe you're not doing enough to challenge yourself!
