UM Masters Meeting - 2nd July 2014 - FIFA World Cup




For our UM Master Toastmaster meeting on July 2 2014. The meeting had a lot less people than anticipated however, our members showed great initiative and took on multiple roles during the meeting. The theme of our meeting was FIFA World Cup 2014 taking place in Brasil. Mohsin was the Toastmaster for the meeting, (his first time fulfilling the role) and the Grammarian. The Word of the day was Stalwart, which means someone that is loyal and dedicated or physically strong. Bev filled in for humor and told a great joke about a group of friends on a hot air balloon trip. Maimouna showed great leadership skills and filled in as a speaker at the last minute and spoke about her initial reluctance to move to Canada. Bev was her evaluator. Bev also conducted the Table Topic session and designed as a debate between Amy and Mohsin arguing for and against the FIFA Wrold Cup. Maimouna evaluated the Table Topic session. Amy was the General evaluator for the meeting. Overall, the meeting was a lot of fun. We added a new member Nora to our club and we looking forward to seeing her in our future meetings.
