Meeting Minutes - November 5

During the last meeting, Paul was the Toastmaster. Word of the Day was introduced by Larry - "xenogeneic". Paula made us laugh with the joke she presented. We had two amazing speakers. Anna, our newest member presented her Icebreaker. We learned a lot about her and her job as a court interpreter. Elizabeth delivered a speech "Acts of Kindness", project 10 - Inspire Your Audience from the Competent Communicator manual. Elizabeth truly inspired us to act kindly in everyday situations and make a difference one person at a time. 

The Table Topics theme, presented by Larry, was the fall and the holidays celebrated during this time. Thanksgiving, fall colors, favorite apples - topics that everyone could relate to. 

Kevin evaluated Anna's speech and Eliot evaluated Elizabeth's speech. Martha was the General Evaluator. Her evaluation team also included Joyce, the Grammarian and Paul, the Timer. Our Grammarian reminded of unnecessary use of filler words. Kudos to the members who used the Word of the Day. 

Paula, VP Education took roles for the next meeting on November 19.
