Meeting Notes - 14 May 2009

Hello Toastmasters and guests:

Today's meeting may have appeared to be unorganized, but with great aplomb club members stepped up and presented an A+ meeting with six members and three guests attending.

Connie Pshigoda served as Toastmaster, introducing guests Martin Cobb, Area Governor; John Graham and Maureen ( ) from Kiewit and speakers Krystyna Noworytta and Dan Pratt.

Krystyna's Ice Breaker Speech gave the audience insight to the remarkable achievements she has made in her life---including learning the U.S. tax structure once she became a citizen.

Dan's speech, #5 from the Competent Communicator Manual, titled "The Planet Play" was an amusing account of a day in the life of anthropomorphized celestial bodies. Dan played the part of all of these bodies.

Gary Fuller and guest, Martin Cobb served as evaluators,sharing valuable suggestions for growth and improvement. Dan Pratt took Best Speaker Award and Martin Cobb Best Evaluator.

Connie closed the meeting with her Advanced Manual speech: Mastering the Toast. She provided the bubbly for all in attendance to toast the Triskelion Club for excellence in communication, leadership and confidence.

Please join us next week. Rev up your passion for your Toastmaster Club---it's a happening place!
