178th Meeting

It is TV Sweeps Season, and today we talked all about the peculiarities of the TV industry. Alex was our Toastmaster and Maryam was our Table Topics Master. They both did a masterful job.

Our prepared speakers were Xiang, giving his Icebreaker, and Jordi, whose speech we will never mention again. They both did a good job and had a lot of preparation.

Their evaluators were Natasha (Xiang) and Mick (Jordi). The general evaluator was Kathy.

The supporting roles were Kathy (grammarian), Eamon (Ah Counter), Maryam (Time Keeper), and Natasha (Vote Counter). The word of today was chicanery, which was no joke!

Thanks everyone for another great week!

177th Meeting

Today's meeting was full of laughs! Our Toastmaster, Maryam, led us off with the topic of "St. Valentine's Day". The Table Topics Master, Jordi Calveras, gave us many chances to work on creating the typical romance story as well as some new creative ones. The word of the day was "revere."

Our first prepared speaker was Kalen, giving his first speech from the "Humorously Speaking" manual. Kathy gave the second speech--her first one (icebreaker)!

We had a few guests who tried their luck at our Table Topics -- one, Aakash, even won this week! Great work guys.

The supporting roles were served by Eamon (Grammarian), Xiang (Ah Counter, Vote Counter), and Alex Loh (Time Keeper). Guys, please try to sign up for roles sooner >.<. But no big.

The general evaluator was Alex, and the evaluators were Eamon (Kalen's speech) and Victor (Kathy's speech).

After the meeting was our monthly dinner social, where the rain kept us in to keep us socializing for even longer! It was a lot of fun (yum... 30 inch pizza).

Join us next week for the next action-packed episode of Lost! er, I mean, Toastmasters.

176th Meeting

Our speaker was Maryam, on The Toastmasters Educational Program (The Successful Club Series 10-15 min).

The General Evaluator was Jordi and Kalen was evaluated Maryam's speech.

Our supporting roles were served by Natasha (grammarian, Vote Counter) and Jordi (Time Keeper)

Thanks for the great week!

175th Meeting

We had a great meeting this week. Our Toastmaster of the Day was Justin, and the topic was "Why am I so AWESOME?" The word of the day was egomaniacal.

We had some guests--Megan, Marcel, Mick and Joshua--some of whom got to get their feet wet by speaking on the spot during our Table Topics session. Our Table Topics master was Alex and our general evaluator was Kalen.

Our speakers today were Jordi and Mick, our guest and area governor. Jordi's speech was a little unusual, a monodrama from the perspective of Isaac Newton in an advanced communicator manual. Jordi's evaluator was Maryam and Mick's was Alex.

The supporting roles were filled by Victor (Grammarian and Ah Counter), Maryam (Time Keeper), and Alex (Vote Counter).

All guests are welcome to join us next week!
