Greetings Fellow Toastmasters,
This was our annual toastmasters at the park. 9 members were in attendance and
no guests. Richa and Issac were the food chair and a big thank you to them for
putting it all together. Getting the food, microphone, and lights and all the
behind the scenes work and effort was all worth it. Thank you.
Robin was our toastmaster for the evening and he was the host with the most.
He addressed himself in 3rd person which I thought was hilarious.
Highlights from the evening
1. Katelynn Pau was grammarian and her word of the day was Temperate. Colette
used the word of the day in her recap describing everyone's gestures were
temperate. And Colette was right. With the entire park as our stage, we all
choose to stand around in the same spot.
2. Jeff Stoll with his joke comparing bread and sun. The sun rises in the
east and sets in the waist.
3. Two speakers with Richa Acharya on networking and myself with Best day
Ever. The common denominator with the two speakers were that they had only a
few days to put together a speech. Despite the lack of preparation, I don't
think it showed. Good job Richa. Good job Alan. (see, 3rd person is
hilarious).
4. Notable Table Topics: Jonathan on a decapitated canary. Richa, hot
springs, clothing optional. Luis with Bambi and deer meat. Robin with Geese
chewing up grass the size of a golf hole and feeding the geese to the homeless.
5. Jennifer Dunne was evaluator to Richa and her great comment on Richa
starring at the members in the audience until she got a response. Robin
finally was picked on and he responded with "I'm not a good example".
Ribbon Winners
Best Table Topics: Robin McIntosh
Best Evaluator: Jennifer Dunne
Best Speech: Alan Wong
Final Thoughts for the evening.
I always find that when there's a small amount of members in attendance, it's
always more personable. Big numbers are great too but there's something
special with smaller groups. Maybe it was the root beer. Maybe it was the
food. Maybe it was the company. Maybe it was the park. Put it all together
and it was another great meeting.
Quote from the internet: I wish I were a glow worm, A glow worm's never glum.
Cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
Until next week, I am your humble secretary.
