Celena,
The debate will be in the place of a regular meeting, although the date has not
yet been set. I'm guessing six or so weeks from now as there is a bunch of
work that needs to be done. This will all be discussed as we progress with the
planning.
I did not include in the list the need for two timers too.
Dirk

Dirk,
thanks for clearing that up!
When is this meeting to take place? will it replace a typical meeting, or is it
in addition to the normal routine? I would volunteer to be a debator, however,
I thought I was speaking this thursday, and I don't want to double book myself.
Celena Collins
Make it a great day!

Celena, thank you for your comment.
There is no competition to be a member of a debate team. I'm assembling a list
of people who would like to assume various roles in this meeing, including that
of a debater. If I have more than the desired number for a given the role,
we'll draw from a hat to assemble the teams.
For this meetin we need four debaters, a facilitator, a chief judge, four
judges, and a refreshment committee (2?). I have had a number of people
volunteer for various positions and am still seeking volunteers.
Please step up and volunteer for a role. It going to be an interesting night.
Dirk

all,
I am not clear on the "Compete for a spot" for debating, will someone clear
that up for me? Is this just as simple as Table Topics where each speaker gets
to argue a point back and forth, or is there more to it?
Also, take into account that this might seem too competitive or intense for
some, it even sounds that way to me right, now, so if I seem to have the wrong
idea here, please clear this up.
Celena Collins
Make it a great day!

I want to be one of the Debaters!!! What do you think about this? Instead of
table tobics one night we should compete for a spot to debate?

Friends,
Last night's meeting at Kathy's RNL Design conference room in Downtown Denver
was superb. We started a little late as some had issues finding the guard to
let the elevator go to the second floor. That said, I was a beautiful room and
gave us a chance to be in a professional environment with new obsticles to
overcome. Thank you, Kathy, for hosting the meeting.
At the end of the meeting we discussed ideas for the next theme meeting. Bill
threw out having a debate and everyone seemed to like this idea. This will
require some advance planning to put together and participation by the club
membership. I'll tell you that we've had three debates in the club since I
became involved, and each one was an unbeliveable experience for all involved
and quite interesting to observe.
For example, the following issues were debated in two of our events:
"Should the theory of Creation by Intelligent Design be taught in public
schools?"
"Should the phrase "under god" be removed from the pledge of allegience?"
So I'm asking for some feedback.
(1) Does having a debate in our club sound like a good idea to you?
(2) We need a number of roles filled, volunteers anyone?
Debators (4)
Facilitator (1)
Judges (4)
Timers (2)
Refreshments Coordinators (2)
If I have more people volunteer for one role than needed, we will have a random
drawing. Ideally the debate teams would be an experienced TM paired with an
inexperience TM. We've done this in the past and it has worked out well.
Your thoughts?
