It's Fabulous February and the Triskelion Toastmaster Club celebrated appropriately with chocolates and sparkling cider. Toastmaster Connie Pshigoda opened the meeting with light-hearted comments on the numerous events celebrated this month. Some noteworthy dates include: Groundhog Day, Valentine's Day, Mardi Gras, Winter Olympics, Chinese New Year, President's Day, American Heart Month and Leap Year.
The Word of the Day was: effulgence (ih-FULL-junss) a noun meaning radiant splendor; brilliance.
Krystyna gave her 6th speech from the Competent Toastmaster Manual, titled: Education of Roman Boys During the Roman Empire. Part of their education included Orator School. The art of public speaking was a highly valued skill then as it is today. Dan Pratt evaluated this speech.
We listened to part 3 of an audio speech by Rory Vaden . . . completing his Take the Stairs campaign promoting success in speaking, careers, health, finances and life.
Table Topics were presented by Doris Andersen. Participants were asked to select a budget and mode of transportation to create their ideal Valentine Get-a-way. There was a 3-way tie for the winning speech.
New member, Tony Pollack was initiated into the Triskelion Club and received his official TM pin.
Please join us next week for more exciting speeches, Table Topics and inspiring conversation!
