Fellow Toastmasters:
The meeting today was lead by yours truly. Don graced us with Speech 4 which he titled "The Super Power of Social Proof." In it, he explored the various means by which we, as social beings, influence and are influenced.
Speech two was an impromptu speech. Gary filled in for Linda, who was pulled away at the last moment. Gary delivered an uplifting speech about finding love and acceptance amidst family and faith.
The illustrious Dan Pratt provided the word of the day, "Indolent", and lead a stout storytelling round of table topics.
Our guest today was Shaw engineer Christina Nowarita. Christina hails from the East bloc and Poland specifically. It was a special treat to have her among us.
Included herein is a Christmas poem I thought you might enjoy. Roles for the upcoming meetings are shown below.
As we close out the year let me say as President, 2008 was great. Membership continues to flourish. We draw speakers from all walks of life and all experience levels. Meetings are healthy, happy and fun. We continue to meet the ever present challenges of educating ourselves and each other.
Every journey of one thousand miles begins with a single step. The roles we take in meetings are the small steps we all take to becoming accomplished speakers. I have watched everyone grow as orators. It is a pleasure. Thanks to your support I too continue to grow as a member and as a leader. Toastmasters is truly a "win-win".
