Oct. 25, 2007 Meeting Notes
We welcomed our two guests, Cris Wood and Ron Sexton, who we hope return and join. Toastmaster Janet Reese carried out the Halloween theme with chocolate treats and trivia.
Deron White entertained us with his theatrical performance, a dialogue where he played two different people. That could be confusing, but he kept the players straight. Karen Lang informed us in her speech about "your brain" and the different types of thinkers. She effectively used visual aids to help us follow along.
Luayne Trujillo challenged us with goolish Table Topics where we had to apply the word-of-the-day, "grotesque"-distorted and unnatural in shape or size.
Evaluators Gary Fuller and Paul Sadowski gave their speakers constructive feedback.
Karen won best speaker, Gary, best evaluator, and Cris and Paul tied for Table Topics.
Thanks to Deron for creating a guide for Triskelion TM, a useful tool for old and new members.

Toastmaster-Deron
Speaker 1- Dave T.
Speaker 2 - John Wierzba
Evaluator 1 - Karen
Evaluator 2 - Open

Oct. 18, 2007 Meeting Notes
We were entertained and informed today by our two speakers, Gary Fuller and Nick Samoylov. Gary enlightened us about the management of hunting and wild game in Colorado. Nick performed a monologue with an imaginary "cranky old man."
Janet led table topics from her "book of life questions." Everyone came up with insightful answers using the word of the day "ephemeral" meaning short, temporary.
Mike Stablien evaluated Gary's speech and Luyane, Nick's. Both offered tips and compliments.
Our guest Aaron Sapp--who we hope joins the club--was our timer. Aaron jumped right in to Table Topics.
Gary Fuller took speaker's award, Luayne won best evaluator and Mike Stablien won best table topics.
