Meeting Notes - July 16, 2009

Thursday's Toastmaster meeting was full of high spirits. Connie started a new manual and the first project was storytelling. We all gathered in a circle and listened to her telling of the story of "The North Wind and the Sun". She picked this story for it's moral of gentle persuasion. It is a great lesson for us as a club as we strive to meet our goals.

Don was Toastmaster, Dan served as General Evaluator, Linda evaluated Connie's speech, and Doris was our timer.

Our Table Topic Master was Ed. He asked each of us to define the word "gelogenic". Most thought the word had the Latin root gel, but it is actually Greek meaning laughter. Don won the table topic thinking the word sounded like an Italian bicycle team. The true word of the day was "ebullient".

This week we will be meeting in a different room, so please gather in the lobby. Linda will be our Toastmaster, Laura will give her Ice Breaker and Ed will evaluate. We hope to see you there!
