Minute 02/24/10

Good afternoon, Top O’ The Rockers!

We had a great meeting this afternoon! For those who could not come, you missed a great time! Jemerson Diaz gave his speech, Lesson from the Soup Kitchen, which was Project # 4, A Touching Story, in the Storytelling Advanced Manual. This speech is also his International Speech Contest speech. After his speech, Andrea gave the formal evaluation and then we had a roundtable evaluation. Some suggestions were made, and compliments were given. Jemerson will be doing his speech again before the Area Contest on March 20.

Sue Stack served as Toastmaster, William Clifford as Timekeeper, Steve Nguyen as Um and Ah Counter, Yeidy Feliciano as Grammarian, and Andrea Siracusa as Master Evaluator. Yeidy picked “faze” as our Word of the Day. As Toastmasters, we should not let anything faze us since we are training to be versatile on our feet!

You may have noticed “Backwards Day” on March 31. This meeting will be done backwards – in other words, evaluations before speeches. You might be wondering how that would work. Basically, the evaluator can say that the speaker did something in his/her speech such as saying, “La La La,” or moving their arms around, and then the speaker would have to incorporate that into his/her speech. It really keeps you on your toes since you have to remember to do what the evaluator said that you did. Same type of scenario with Um and Ah and Grammarian – whatever they said you did, you have to do. It should be fun and will definitely be different!

Everyone please note, as you will see on the attached schedule. The Area 12 contest is on March 20th and our Club meeting location will be hosting it. I hope to see a great turnout in support of our contestants and because the contest is being held at our club meeting location. A flier will be sent out over the weekend/Monday the latest

Thanks,

Sue
