We had a very successful meeting today with the theme “For the love of pets”. Everyone shared little stories about their own pets at home.
Dianne as always did a great job as our toastmaster of the day. She offered toastmasters pins to 3 new members. Congrats Christian, Eranga and Laura!
Al was our Grammarian. He explained the word of the day and also some correct use of English grammar. He is a student in linguistics; many members were interested in talking to him even after the meeting to learn proper use of different terms we speak every day. Al will definitely be a great resource for our club.
Eranga,a new member who joined this month did his Ice Breaker speech. He was courageous enough to do his very first speech without using notes and explained why he joined Toastmasters and, explained details about his interests and personal background. Tiffiny evaluated Eranga’s speech and gave some valuable growth points for his future speeches.
Laura was our Table Topics master. She asked a question regarding pets. She called me and our guest Durdana to answer to her question why ….? Oh, I forgot her question so I ended up talking about answering questions :) Durdana was very enthusiastic and answered to her point very well.
Ehsan as Table Topics evaluator explained how he enjoyed the table topics session, he also gave tips for each speaker – points to grow.
Nichole had carefully counted Ahs and Ums for each member during the meeting. Our timer Christian did a great job as Timer for the first time.
