Robin, I’ll bring my flogging cat-o-nine tails for you tonight. Don’t be so
hard on yourself! This whole thing is practice! Geesh!
Though, Kathleen deserves the praise for her outstanding contributions...

Although he had plenty of time to do his general evaluation, Robin McIntosh
had two glaring flaws (please note the word, “glaring”, I am sure there were
more) in his general evaluation. Ironically they both involved Kathleen
Jewby. He forgot to mention her Inspiration and her Table Topics. Her
Inspiration was spectacular (A+). Anytime you make a breakthrough with an
employee and they finally “get it”, it is a real-life inspiration. Kudos to
Kathleen for sharing. Her Table Topics was also extraordinary and fit
perfectly into the meeting theme (A++). I have been anxiously awaiting this
recap to send my profuse apologies to Kathleen for failing to mention either
of her roles. I would give myself a pass if I was pressed for time, but I
wasn’t. Lessons learned, find a script and stick to it!

Hello Toastmasters,
Luis Estrada thoroughly enjoyed filling in as el Presidente. Important
upcoming business includes:
Elections are around the corner. An email about nominations will be coming
soon.
June 13 will be a speech-a-thon run by Pattie. Please let her know if you
would like to participate.
We are 5th in the district for advance communication.
Toastmaster was Pattie and the theme was Yard Sales. She gave us some great
information on yard sales and a number of humorous observations. Some people
are able to pay for their vacations with yard sale profits. She is begging
people to take items.

We had three guests: Blu, Issac, and Susie Minskey.
Ray was our first speaker. His speech Shots Fired, Now What? was filled with
rotten tomatoes. His incredible focus, delivery, and content on what to do in
case of a shooter (Run–Hide–Fight, in that order) engaged even the most
difficult audience members. His evaluator was Luis who appreciated how well
done the speech was and gave a couple of suggestions for managing the rowdy
crowd.

Jeff gave us The Science of Getting Your Sacroiliac In Gear. We learned how
you can be half dead and still make your morning coffee with Jeff's hand
visual aid of the brain stem, limbic system, and cortex. His evaluator was
Colette who praised Jeff for a well-organized speech that finished on time.

Dirk spoke on the Sequence of Verbal Communication. He reminded us to be
aware of our audience and any physical limitations with his illustration. He
did not have an evaluator.

Kathleen was the table topics master and created a blind yard sale.
Participates picked a dollar amount (without knowing what the item was) and
then explained why they were excited about their newly acquired item.
$0.10 got Dirk a Vanilla Ice CD.
$12 earned Robin a new desk.
$6 landed our gest Blu an ice cream maker.
$5 added 32 NFL mini helmets to Zachary's collection.
$0.25 secured a screwdriver for our guest Issac.
$0.99 was enough for Jeff's faux fur cost.
$6 for a set of Martini glasses made Sparky money.
$9 horrified Bill with cat high-heels.
$10 purchased a stroller for Susie.
Robin was the general evaluator and gave everyone grades with some good
feedback on how/why they earned those marks.
Winners...
