Today's meeting summary
We had a fun and full program today as our guest Dave Bovard observed. Eric Peterson won best speaker for his "company reorganization" briefing, Connie Pshigoda won best evaluator for her insights on Mike Angel's speech, and Mike A. won best tabletopics.
Toastmaster Janet Reese added her speech contest commentary:
Have you ever competed in a speech contest? If so, congratulations! If not, consider the challenge.
I competed in our area M5 contest last Saturday and was happy to win. Joyce Feustel of the Mid Day club won the speech contest and our own Mike Angel placed second.
Competing is a valuable experience--you speak before a larger audience in a competitive setting. Entering a contest, you help to make it more competitive by increasing the number of contestants from your club and area.
The time to prepare is now. Here's how:
The winning formula: Tell a story about an event, person or experience that impacted or changed your life. Motivate and inspire the audience with the lesson you learned that they could take away.
Tell us in 5-7 minutes (without using notes): The story, how you were you impacted, the lesson(s) you learned or the moral of the story.
Start now so you have a speech in your hip pocket by fall when another contest rolls around.
word of the day--- • egregious • ê-gree-jês • adjective
Flagrantly bad, outrageously offensive.
Rev. Wright’s sermons were egregious.
See you next week!
