Fellow Toastmasters,
Thanksgiving was the theme of our last meeting. Connie Pshigoda presented cornucopia as the word of the day.
We heard two well-delivered speeches – Jeanne’s Icebreaker and Don’s 9th manual speech. Jeanne related her interest in books and their influence on her life. Don presented us with a moral dilemma – selfishness vs. altruism. He made a good case for not feeling guilty if you end up on the selfish side regularly. I don’t think his position was quite as extreme as Gordon Gekko’s in Wall Street, but Ayn Rand may have influenced him a little. Don was voted best speaker.
Evaluations by Linda Holm and Connie followed, with Connie winning the “good ear” prize.
The theme of Thanksgiving was extended through table topics, presented by Krystyna. Over the river and through the woods, we heard various vignettes on how our members spend the holiday. Dave Trzupek took top honors, describing how for the first time he was invited to two different feasts and loved every minute of it.
Have a great Thanksgiving, everyone. As always, feel free to visit http://3skelion.info to sign up for December 3rd roles, or e-mail Don Lyman or me.
Best regards,
Dan Pratt
