Subject: FRTM - Recap from January 17, 2019

Good morning FRTM,

Jennifer Dunne started the meeting asking what members have learned from FRTM.

Jeff Stole was Toastmaster, with the theme "Everything You Wanted to Know about
FRTM (but was afraid to ask)." The plan of getting aggregate data on
Toastmasters through clicking technology didn't work out when a funny thing
happened on the way to Toastmasters and Jeff needed a computer cord. Since
everyone was excited to be quizzed, Jeff has promised a follow-up coming in the
future.

Roles for January 17, 2019, were:
Lori High: Ah-Counter and Timer/Joker
Robin McIntosh: Grammarian/Word of the Day
Kathleen Jewby: Gesture Master and Quizmaster

Word of the Day: indubitably

The first speaker was Dirk Kittredge with, "Remember Me," about how memory
works and tricks to remember. He provided pieces of watermelon candy to half of
the audience for an experiment.

Ray Pezolt followed with, "Facebook No-Nos," filled with memorable visual aids
warning us what not to post on Facebook.

Colette Smith finished the speeches with, "She Can Talk, but Can She
Communicate." She examed her direct communication style.

Monica led Table Topics for the first time with an interesting challenge. She
had pieces of paper with a year and a role or action and we had to describe.
For example, Robin started it with what a date looks like in 1300 C.E., which
was, naturally, flogging.

Luis Estrada was our General Evaluator.
Savanna Langan started Dirk's evaluation with, "We already know you are great
at tone, voice, etc. so I'll skip all that."
Alan Wong, continuing his goal of no notes, observed how well Ray met the
purpose of his speech with effective visual aids.
Jennifer challenged Colette to speak more about the impact of being a direct
communicator by providing a personal example.

Winners for the awards
Evaluator: Jennifer Dunne
Table Topics: Alan Wong – He's out celebrating the B.C.E. holiday, Multi
Organism Day.
Speaker: Ray Pezolt

Dirk enlightened us with the results of his experiment. We were given a quiz to
see if there was a difference in the amount those who ate candy remembered
compared to those that did not – unique flavors aid memory was one of his six
tips. Those who ate the candy remembered about 30% higher than those that did
not.
