Meeting #550 - May 9, 2006

We had a small but lively meeting on May 9, 2006. Our theme was Electoral Reform: What's your take? We were capably led by Toastmaster Rebecca. We had one guest/turned member - Toastmaster Robert!

Toastmaster John H. amused us with a Joke of the Day.

It was then time to move to our first speech of the day. First, we heard from Toastmaster Kathryn with the objectives for our speaker's CTM* #6 speech. Toastmaster Bill then showed us all some vocal variety, with his speech The Basis for Democracy, a nice symmetry with the meeting's theme. We then heard from Toastmaster Guy with an Advanced Leader (AL) presentation on Working in a team environment.

While we had to dispense with Table Topics, we did have a bit of time for some Club Business from Toastmaster Guy, who helped us welcome our new member, Toastmaster Robert.

We then heard from Toastmaster Kathryn again with an evaluation of Toastmaster Bill's speech.

We then continued in evaluation mode with the Meeting Evaluation. Toastmaster Sharon, ably assisted by Toastmaster Robert as Grammarian/Ah Counter and Toastmaster Angie as Timer, informed us that we had a successful meeting!

Toastmaster Rebecca returned to review the agenda for next week and we adjourned.

Looking forward to seeing you on May 16!

* CTM = Competent Toastmaster
