A great welcome back to all of our guests who attended the Open House to our meeting this evening!
Maryam gave a moving speech set on a cold New Year's Eve, while Kalen retold the history of Perseus and the slaying of Medusa.
Later this evening I asked the audience to describe something they know well -- such as swimming, football, and photographs -- to someone (be it aliens or Tarzan) who might be unfamiliar with these objects and actions. The theme this evening was Explanation Station.

207th Meeting
Open house!
Out halls (single lecture room) were bursting out the door (a couple of chairs left) for this once-in-a-lifetime (semester) event!
Food was aplenty this evening as our members and new guests discussed why they love to speak, or why they want to speak. Our member Alex posed many questions to the audience designed to get people focused on different methods as they spoke.
As always, guests are always invited, and we hope to see all of our Open House attendees back!

206th Meeting
Tonight we held a club Table Topics and Tall Tales Contest in preparation for the district competition this upcoming Monday. We heard quite the tale of bravery from Kalen, a member who has traveled to Mars to fix Curiosity. Against him, our member Alex spoke about his recent experience in the Netherlands.
Our Table Topics contestants all envisioned a new degree program around any activity of their choice, varying wildly in their interpretations.
There are always many competitions a Toastmaster member can become a part of during the year for improvement. Competitions are held at a club, regional, national, and international levels.

205th Meeting
We were bursting to the limits this meeting, as a group of English teachers from Japan paid us a visit this week! Many of the UT Sciences Toastmasters group are international. We actually have quite the mix of members - undergraduates, graduates, staff, and those who just can't bear to leave! All our welcome to our meetings, as long as you want to practice speaking in a warm environment.
Appropriately, our theme of the evening was Colors. Members and guests all spoke about their favorite colors, or the colors that most represented them or their work, in our impromptu speech section.
Guests are always welcome!
