Meeting Notes - 23 July 2009

This week’s meeting was great! We had four guests: Tom Hobbs, fellow Toastmaster and area 5 governor, John Graham and Nicole Fatchaline from the Kiewett Company and John Cannata a coworker of Don Lyman.

WOD – was fruition which was presented by Linda Holm.

Laura Drury gave her “ice breaker” speech, “Be yourself – everyone else is already taken”. Laura captured us with childhood events and how she became herself as a young adult, college graduate and computer professional. Laura credited her love of traveling and of meeting people with the person she has become.

Don Lyman evaluated Laura’s speech giving out positive and done right feedback.

Doris Steffe was our table topicmaster. Doris challenged volunteers to help “sell” and “defend” unusual housing/living quarters. Volunteers found themselves living in Titan Missile Silos, Off-Shore platforms, Nuclear Power Plants, etc. Tom Hobbs was voted best table topic with his story about living in a missile silo.

Dan Pratt was our General Evaluator. Meeting started promptly. Many thanks went to Cindy Castilow and Connie Pshigoda for being our timer and grammarian/Ah counter. Everyone was well within their time ranges. There were some tenses that did not match and several people had Ahs. We did not have a theme for the meeting which Dan would have liked us to have.

The meeting was ended with the TM testing us to remember definitions of past “Words of the Day”.

Connie Pshigoda will not be in attendance the next two weeks.

Toastmaster for the next meeting will be Dan Pratt. Thank you for volunteering Dan!

Don Lyman has volunteered to be a speaker. Thank you for volunteering Don!
