Greetings Fellow Toastmasters,
Toastmaster for the evening was Robin McIntosh. Theme was communication. (
or was it miscommunication). There were 11 members and one guest
(Monica).
Highlights of the evening
1. Susie Minskey speech was on bullying with a slide presentation.
Colette Smith was our 2nd speaker and her speech had selected members in
the audience that were to interrupt her while she was giving her speech.
Personally I think it would be a hard speech to give and Colette handled
like a professional.
2. Table Topics master was Jonathan Kolber and the chosen ones were to
select a paper with sayings regarding communication. Jennifer Dunne on
daylight savings. Monica with scariest miscommunication. And Kathleen
Jewby with I'm so glad I got the alien one. Wag my tail.
3. Kathleen Jewby was our General Evaluator. Robin mentions that it was
one of the best GE evaluations he's been a part of and I agree.
4. Jeff Stoll evaluated Susie. Watched for if I look like I'm staring off
into space. Jennifer Dunne evaluated Colette. Evaluated disruptions, not
the speech. Slowed speech so everyone can understand over disruptions.
5. At the end Robin asked Monica on what she thought of the meeting.
Monica mentions that if we were to text a chore like washing dishes and if
we were to end the sentence with a smiley face emoji, the task is more
likely to be done. :)
6. Ribbon winners:
Best Speaker: Colette Smith
Best Evaluator: Jennifer Dunne
Best Table Topcs: Kathleen Jewby
