Meeting # 565 - September 12, 2006
We had a good meeting on September 12, 2006. Our theme this week was Passions and we were capably led by Toastmaster Angie. We had one return guest and two new members!
Toastmaster John S. provided us some new vocabulary with two possible Words of the Day: effect (noun), which means purpose, intent, essence, or something that inevitably follows an antecedent (as a cause or agent) or (transitive verb) which means to cause to come into being AND affect (noun), which means the conscious subjective aspect of an emotion considered apart from bodily changes or (verb), which means to make a display of liking or using or tend towards. Toastmaster Kathryn then provided another Word of the Day (rather than a Quote of the Day): Passion (noun), which means intense, driving, or overmastering feeling or conviction.
We then moved on to our speeches for the day. First we heard from Toastmaster Carrie with the objectives for our first speaker's first Competent Communicator (CC) speech. Toastmaster Warren then gave us his Icebreaker speech, telling us a bit about himself, as our new member. Toastmaster John H. then provided the objectives for our second speaker's speech. Toastmaster Rebecca then entertained us, with a speech from the Advanced Communicator manual, The Entertaining Speech.
We had a few items of club business - we'll be having our club Humourous Speech and Table Topics Contest on September 26.
We then had an opportunity for impromptu speaking with Table Topics, led by Toastmaster Angie. Three volunteers, Toastmaster Louise, Toastmaster Carrie, and Toastmaster John S. then used their creativity to speak on the proposed questions.
Then we moved into the evaluation portion of the meeting. First was an evaluation of Toastmaster Warren's speech from Toastmaster Carrie. Then was an evaluation of Toastmaster Rebecca's speech from Toastmaster John H. This was followed by the General Evaluation of the meeting from Toastmaster Louise, who was ably assisted by Toastmaster Kathryn as Grammarian/Ah Counter and Toastmaster Aldo as Timer. Turns out it was a very successful meeting!
Toastmaster Angie returned to ask the guests for comments, review the agenda line-up for the next meeting, and to adjourn the meeting.
Looking forward to seeing you on September 19!
