Meeting #556 - June 20, 2006
We had a great meeting on June 20, 2006, though our numbers were down a bit again. A sign of impending summer, perhaps? Our theme was Rollercoasters and we were visited by a returning guest.
We were ably led by Toastmaster Carrie. Toastmaster John S. brought us a Word of the Day: vacillate, which means to sway from one side to the other; to swing indecisively from one course of action or opinion to another; or to hesitate. Visitor John v. brought us a Quote of the Day. And Toastmaster Marcos then provided a Joke of the Day.
It was then time to move to our first speech for the day. We initially heard from Toastmaster Louise with the objectives for a Competent Toastmaster (CTM) Speech #2. Then, we heard Toastmaster Robert's second CTM speech, "Thankfulness". Next up was Toastmaster Angie with a Competent Leader (CL) speech, "Roles and Responsibilities".
Being slightly ahead of time, we had some time for club business. First we heard from Toastmaster Kathryn. The club is going to have a shorter break this summer. We will continue to meet weekly up to July 18; then we will have a break of three (3) weeks and restart our weekly meetings on August 15. Toastmaster Carrie also came forward with some club business regarding a get-together to celebrate the end of the Toastmaster Year 2005-2006. There will be additional information about this later, but the idea is to go to a restaurant for lunch early in July.
We then moved in to the evaluation portion of the meeting. We started with an Evaluation of Toastmaster Robert's speech from Toastmaster Louise. Then Toastmaster Kathryn provided a General Evaluation of the meeting, assisted by Toastmaster Bill as Timer and Toastmaster Sharon as Grammarian/Ah Counter.
Toastmaster Carrie returned to review the agenda for next week and we adjourned.
Looking forward to seeing you on June 27!
