January 16 Meeting



Hey everybody, hope you are all having a good start to the new year and are really getting the ball rolling now that we're into the middle of January. We appreciate all that made it to our last session!

Heather transitioned smoothly in her role as toastmaster of the day, and gave life to the meeting with her warm smile. Thomas who was our grammarian introduced the word of the day, grateful. During introductions we all had the opportunity to share what we are grateful for. Someone noted that it is good to be grateful for the ‘little’ things that happen in our daily lives because they add to the bigger events.

Chichi did her icebreaker speech  titled “Dear World”. She introduced herself in the form of a letter to the world. She talked about her journey through primary, high school and university and her hopes for the future. Chichi’s speech had a poetic touch, and she used the basic structure of a speech.

 June was our table topics master and as usual, she presented us with some fascinating questions. One of them was “If you were not allowed to sleep, what would you do with the extra hours?” One of our guests, Ifan, took a proverbial stab at it and mentioned she would use the time to complete some chores, school work and other important tasks. Norman evaluated the speech, while Sam evaluated the table topics session. Both evaluators gave constructive, clear, and elaborate evaluations highlighting ‘glow points’ and ‘growth points’.

We concluded with a general evaluation in which everyone gave their feedback on their opinion of the meeting. Most of the attendees found it pleasant and enjoyed the ambience.

Thank you all for your participation, we look forward to the next meeting.
