Hello all, I hope everyone is doing well as classes end and we get into exam season. Our last meeting went well, and we thank everyone who was able to come out!
This meeting's Toastmaster Heather got us started with a theme that's on all of our minds, which is the Spring season. During introductions we shared what things we like most about Spring, including the anticipation built up over the Winter and the beginning of being able to enjoy the outdoors and warm weather again. Heather also provided good bridging between speakers to keep up the flow of the meeting. Chi Chi was our Speaker, and she spoke about a topic that's been at the centre of a lot of debate and media attention lately, which was the carbon tax. She did a great job of picking a topic that was relevant and caught the interest of her audience, and explained different sides of the issue effectively and with enthusiasm. Table Topics Evaluator Charith was thorough and gave solid and specific feedback to participants. General Evaluator Norman evaluated those that hadn't been evaluated yet, and brought up good points about speakers and how the meeting went.
We thank all who joined us for our first meeting in April. We welcome all members and guests to join us for our next meeting this Wednesday!
A Toastmasters club in Winnipeg at the University of Manitoba. Our goal is to help members become polished communicators.

March 27 Meeting
Hello all! We wish everyone the best as we head into April and the last month of the school year for students. The club got back to our regular style of meetings after our contests the last couple of weeks, and we thank all who were able to come out!
The Toastmaster of the day was Sam, and his theme of the meeting was "instinct". This brought about some interesting discussion during introductions about when we should trust our instincts and how we can mix taking them into account with thought and analysis. Our Table Topics Session included discussion about Toastmasters and what our opinions were about various aspects of it, which gave us all the opportunity to analyze Toastmasters in a compelling way. Speech Evaluator Charith gave a concise evaluation while providing relevant feedback, and Table Topics Evaluator Seongtaek was thorough in his analysis of the session. General Evaluator Heather gave a well structured evaluation of the day's meeting, and provided insightful observations to the club.
It was good to get back to our normal routines and hear everyone's contributions to the meeting. We had a good time and thank all members and guests for coming out. We welcome all who are interested to come join us for our upcoming meeting this Wednesday!
