February 21 meeting

Hello All,

We had a bit of a 'quagmire' for our meeting today. Thanks to all those members who did not give up and followed our direction. The university  was experiencing a power outage which caused many buildings to be closed. We had to make a quick decision in moving the meeting place. Thanks to Stephen for his quick suggestion in using the U of M Armes building close by.

In spite of the set back, the meeting went well. Helen as Toastmaster was calm, confident and professional in her leadership role.  She conducted  the meeting with ease from beginning to end, was efficient in updating the agenda by filling in the available roles. Congratulations to Sam for delivering a speech from the Competent Communicator manual about conflict resolution. Additionally, shout out to Ben as the Grammarian who chose the word of the day to be "Quagmire", a very fitting word. Stephen led the Table Topics Session and did an excellent job as well. Congratulations to our guest  Sherif, for stepping up to the plate  and taking part in the Table Topics session!

Overall, another wonderful meeting session for UMMasters group!
