Triskelion Meeting Notes - October 22, 2009

Thursday's Meeting of the Triskelion Toastmasters brought a "gregarious"* group! Toastmaster Connie Pshigoda opened the meeting with trivial "palaver"* on the numerous celebrations, observances and holidays in October.

Krystyna Noworytta gave her 5th CC speech titled: Coco Chanel: Her Character as Fashion Designer. Gary Fuller evaluated her presentation. We now know that the name of Coco's perfume, Chanel #5 comes from a winning race horse!

Dan Pratt challenged us with Table Topics following the October theme. We gained wisdom from Jeanne's grandmother's life tips; learned that "elk are where you find them" according to Don's father's wisdom; and Dan's retirement account is full of holes . . . donut holes, that is.

We always have a great time and learn from each other as we build our speaking skills. Please join us next week as Dan Pratt leads the hour as Toastmaster. Roles may be filled on the website: www.3skelion.info Have a great October!
