Meeting was called to order by Shyam Narayan where he
welcomed our guests Tim and Ray. He
introduced Karen who provided our thought of the day, led us through our pledge
of allegiance and introduced the Toastmaster, Richard Archer.
Richard announced that we will not have a theme for this
meeting. He introduced Alex, our Jokemaster; Dale, our Grammarian; Thomas, our
Ballot Counter; and Georgia, our Timer.
Each individual described their role and provided examples to the
capacity they were serving.
Matthew introduced his no theme for Table Topics, yet he
asked some humorous questions.
Ray answered the question, “If you were invisible, where
would you go?” His response: The girls’ bathroom
Tim advised he would pass a law where parents had to take a
parenting class before they become parents when he was asked, “What law should we
have that we currently do not?”
Karen went to her Jetson days when she answered, “If you
were a mad scientist, what would be your invention?”
Thomas had to convince us the best way to use him before
shredding if he were a piece of paper.
He advised us to write your true thoughts and feelings down.
Georgia had to convince the audience junk food is healthy
and made a plug that she works at McDonalds by discussing their healthy food
items.
Matthew confirmed that everyone qualified except for Ray to
vote for the best Table Topics Speaker.
Richard explained that we will have first time speakers as
well as seasoned speakers and began to introduce our speakers for the day.
Sunitha provided her first speech, “My Journey to
Toastmasters” where she introduced us to herself and we learned that she is a
determined individual always looking to improve. She also told us her names mean well behaved
and polite. She fits her name. She also smiled the entire time she delivered
her speech.
Bill explained the “Sociology of Knowledge”. If you’re 55% right, you just made it; 60%
right, thank God; 75% right, be suspicious and 100% right, be very suspicious.
Al spoke on the “Real Super Hero” where he grew up admiring
comic book heroes, but learned later in life that our military, fire, police,
medic, educators, ministers and the like are our true super heroes.
After we returned from a brief recess, Shyam called Sharon,
Cynthia, and Thomas to provide feedback.
Since everyone qualified, Shyam invited members to vote for
the best speaker and evaluator.
He provided his overall evaluation of the meeting after
allowing Dale to provide his report.
Shyam gave control of the meeting to himself and discussed club business
by reminding us of the club contest next week.
Dale offered to our members to join him hiking on the 28th
and 29th.
Roles for the 28th meeting were confirmed by
those present.
Thomas presented awards:
Tim- Best Table Topics
Al- Best Prepared Speaker
Thomas- Best Evaluator
Karen- Ah Stick
Meeting was adjourned at 10:02 am.
