Open House: 182nd Meeting

Thanks to everyone for a great Open House!

For our spring semester Open House, we had 12 guests including our area governor, Mick Normington. We had excellent speeches given by Jag and Jordi on their fears, fitting our theme of the evening: Snakes, Clowns, and Public Speaking.

Kalen served as both meeting coordinator and Toastmaster, while the Table Topics master was Justin who peppered us with excellent and hilarious questions concerning all of our fears.

Victor and Maryam made the decorations and food a hit:

Thank you to all the guests for being open minded in participation and attendance, and we hope to see you all again!

Spring Break

Dear Toastmasters and guests,

Because of Spring Break at the University of Texas, we will not be meeting on March 16, 2012.

If you are in town during March 9-18, you may wish to attend the South-by-Southwest festival which features a vast number of public speakers sharing their ideas. A list of free events is listed here.

Be sure to join us back on campus on March 23!

179th Meeting

Hello one and all! During our 8th Meeting of 2012 we discussed "Fast Food." There were lots of contentious arguments and even a couple of impromptu cooking shows. We were led by Jag, the Toastmaster of the evening, and Victor provided us with a fun Table Topics session as Table Topics Master.

The speeches today were given by Maryam, who presented a thrilling and well-conducted impromptu speech on the Occupy movement. Eamon gave speech #4 from the CC manual called "A dice game you can always win." Their evaluators were Alex (for Maryam) and Justin (for Eamon).

Our General Evaluator was Kalen, and he managed the supporting roles of Grammarian (Marcell), Ah Counter and Vote Counter (Kathy), and Time Keeper (Alex).

Thanks all for a great week at 5:55pm in PHR 2.110!
