Description: Description: cid:image001.jpg@01CC68A9.310562A0 From: frtm-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:frtm-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gary & Bev Wheeler Sent: Saturday, June 16, 2012 9:55 PM To: frtm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: FRTM - Recap: June 14, 2012 Toastmasters Meeting Hello fellow members and honored guest Cheyenne Ruffin, who was visiting our team. Cheyenne would love to develop her speaking skills to use in continuing her education. I would like to recap our meeting from last Thursday, June 14, 2011. The theme of the night was Power Questions! David Hassler our V.P. of Toastmasters performed as President, instead of Kathy Barrett our President. He was also our Greeter, and he provided our table topics for us. He provided everyone with quite challenging questions and everyone did a fantastic job! Shannon Silva did an excellent job as our Toastmaster of the evening! A Great Job Done! Thank you Shannon! Our Word of the Day was provided by Beth and it was: "dis-cur-sive - moving from topic to topic without order or rambling." The example provided was: "The speaker's discursive style made it difficult to understand his point." A few weeks ago a speech was presented on history. This week the speaker showed us a book that is very hard to find and everyone would love to have. The name of the book is "The Amature" by Edward Kline. It is a book about Obama at the White House and contains over 200 interviews. It is recommended that everyone try to read it prior to election time. A person may be able to order in from Barnes and Noble or on-line; however, it sounds as if a person will have to special order it as many people are looking for the same book! I know I will certainly try to order one from Barnes and Noble or from Amazon. Our prepared speakers were: #1 Brittany Jones, who is a new member and did her Ice Breaker Speech, #2 Lisa Marty, who gave her Ice Breaker Speech, and #3 Elizabeth Vidmar, who did her organized speech. Congratulations to all the Speakers of the night! Pat Sanchez was our general evaluator of the evening and did an excellent job. Evaluations were done by Adam Vesely for Speaker #1, Dirk Kittredge for Speaker #2, and Bill Farrand for Speaker #3. Ah Counters Report was provided by Collette Smith who did an excellent job doing this for her first time. Congratulations! The winners of the speakers of the evening were: Lisa Marty and Elizabeth Vidmar! Congratulations to both of you! The winner of the Evaluator was Adam Vesely! Great Job! The winner of the Table Topics was Ray Pezolt! His topic was "What has brought you the most fullfillment in life"? Contratulations! In the closing comments we had a question as to who is responsible for preparing the name cards for members who do not have one yet. Perhaps in our next meeting we will have an answer to that? Next week on Thursday evening we will have the FRTM nominations for Officers of our Toastmaster's Club! See everyone next Thursday! Sincerely, Bev Wheeler
