A Day To Celebrate in Winnipeg Toastmasters

Our Winnipeg Toastmaster for the day, Deb, chose the theme “Birthdays” and oh what a celebration we had !!  She brought a bright pink boa for us to wear when we went up to speak, she had party favorites for us and even a goodie bag for us when we left.  Fun was had by all.

During the introductions we were all very excited and happy when Marc announced that he had been accepted into Medicine.  Congratulations Marc – another great reason to celebrate. 

Dianne announced that the club had been awarded a certificate for achieving Select Distinguished Status in time for the Power of One Party in the Park – May 15th, 2011.

Andrea was our speaker and she was working on the 8th speech – get comfortable with visual aids.  Her title was “From Dream to Reality”.  She explained that if a goal is not defined and planned out, it is only a dream.  Goals need to be “SMART” – specific, memorable, action oriented, realistic and time bounded.

Table Topics were so much fun that I did not want them to end.  Cathy, our Table Topics Master had everyone write down something about themselves that hopefully no one knew.  The participant picked a paper from the pile and then had to guess who the person was and why they felt that.  Too much fun…………

Anxiously waiting for our next meeting where we will have 3 members speaking.
