Our
Toastmaster this week was Andrea who chose the theme of Victoria
Day. During introductions we were asked
to share how we spent the holiday. We
had 9 regular members out and 3 guests.
We were also excited to have Bonnie, our Area Governor visiting our
club. June was the Grammarian and she
chose the word “Fireworks” as the word
of the day to go along with the theme of Victoria Day.
Charith
entertained us with his speech number two entitled “Why we use
Technology”. He shocked us when he
explained that the first time they sent a man to the moon there was less power
in their computer then there is today in a cell phone. Wow, that is amazing.
Cathy
challenged Trevi with an interview question.
She was asked “what mistakes have you made in your job and what did you
learn from them”. Trevi sparkled as she told
us about three mistakes and gave us examples of what she learned from them.
One
of our guests was brave enough to answer the second question “tell us about one
of your most rewarding experiences on the job”.
Bonnie,
our Area Governor was our General Evaluator and she awarded the gold star award
to Cathy for her innovative interview questions as Table Topics Master. The gold star is awarded to a person who the
General Evaluator felt contributed the most to the meeting or challenged
themselves the most. A trophy is awarded
and you can enjoy it for the remainder of the meeting.
If
you are in Winnipeg and are interested in dropping by and visiting our club, we
meet Wednesdays from 12:05 – 12:55. We have currently “moved house” for
the summer to room 125 St. John’s in the University of Manitoba but please do
drop by and see what our members are up to next week.
