Fellow toastmasters,
Thursdays meeting was a very engaging affair. Toastmaster Don shared with us some moving locker room speeches by Knute Rockne and Bear Bryant; and one not so moving speech by Gary Barnett. Humorist Doris amused us with the football watching habits of her husband (I can relate). The word of the day was "austere".
Connie came out of the gates with her first speech from the "Humorously Speaking" manual. She warmed up the audience with tales of stupid criminals. She then showed how some very smart thieves discovered ways to fight the bubonic plague as they robbed graves. She left us with a very useful remedy for fighting illness adapted from the thieves' formulas.
We then listened to part 2 of 3 of Rory Vaden's speech "Take the Stairs". Rory helped us see how sacrifice and persistence are keys to success.
Dan won the table topics contest by drawing wisdom from both the Rolling Stones and The Who.
We have a new member! Please welcome Tony to the club. We have an old member! Nathan joined us this week and it was great to see him too.
We need all roles filled for next week. I'll make you a deal: if you fill a role, so will I.
Thanks,
Don
