11-19-2008 - Meeting Minutes

Good morning fellow Top O’ The Rock Toastmasters,


We had a productive meeting on November 19.


First we voted in our newest member Flor Lepervanche. Welcome Flor!


We opened our meeting with an invocation provided by Jose Lepervanche. Flor Lepervanche provided the word of the day – kinetic; kinetic means relating to motion; energy.


We had two speakers, Andrea Siracusa and Jeanne Hammond. Andrea presented her 10th and final speech in the Competent Communication Manual. Her speech entitled Dedication…Says It All focused on a fictional setting in which Andrea worked to inspire employees to work hard in 2009. Sue Stack was the evaluator for Andrea’s speech. Jeanne presented her fourth speech in the Competent Communication Manual, entitled Long Ago and Far Away. Jeannne took us into her experience in living in Hyde Park in Chicago. Wanda Brown was her evaluator.


Congratulations to Andrea who was voted Best Speaker and Sue Stack who took the honor of Best Evaluator.


Jose Lepervanche organized our Table Topics which focused on acting out emotions. Individuals had to act out the emotion that they chose unknowingly from a pile created by Jose. The person that was to speak next, had to guess what emotion the previous person was acting out. The emotions that were acted upon included anger, happiness, friendship, joy and stress. Congratulations to Jacqueline Rudloff who was voted as the best Table Topic Speaker.


Thank you to Catalina Agustin who was our um/ah counter, Jacqueline Rudloff our time keeper and Juan Carlos Perez our Vote Counter.


Reminder: We will NOT be meeting on November 26, December 24 and December 25, all in observance of the holidays. Enjoy the break! We WILL STILL MEET on December 3rd and 10th. On the 10th we will meet at Prudential and celebrating our Holiday Party.


Club Officers: We would like to meet December 3rd after our meeting, to discuss possible considerations for the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009. So please be sure to note that we want to meet for about 20-30 minutes after the meeting. If you can not attend please send Jose or Andrea your officer update so your information can be distributed during the meeting.


Thank you

Andrea Siracusa

Secretary
