Triskelion Toastmaster Meeting Notes for July 30, 2009

The theme of Thursday’s meeting was “Excuses, Excuses” led by Toastmaster Dan Pratt, who attempted to invent several excuses for not having a printed agenda. No problem, however – a dog ate his list of excuses.

We had two guests – Tom and Jackie – who are local marriage counselors.

Jason Carty delivered his 5th speech, entitled “To Tile, or Not to Tile.” He related his experiences during a recent home improvement project and gave us all tips for doing a great tile job. Although it seems like a lot of work, I’m sure Jason will want to repeat the process for anyone who has a large bathroom or Roman courtyard they would like finished. (Just kidding, Jason. Tile work ranks up there with helping someone move their grand piano up eight narrow flights of stairs.)

Don Lyman presented table topics which involved ethics questions based on Randy Cohen’s column which is syndicated by The New York Times. There were very thoughtful responses, with no one choosing “the dark side” in their solutions.

We concluded with a challenge to all our members to bring not just a friend, but also another member.
