It was the first meeting in the New Year for Cedar Hill Toastmasters. What a night - we had 5 guests in attendance!
Paul was the Toastmasters and he very diligently explained the meeting roles throughout the meeting to help the guests understand the flow.
Eliot presented the Joke of the Day. Elizabeth in her role as a Word Master, introduced the word "benevolence".
Larry presented a dramatics speech entitled "Alone With Self", a project from the Entertaining Speaker series. In a creative and dramatic manner, Larry showed us a progression a person undergoes a transition in their life from a "selfish" newborn requires care and nurturing to a mature individual who cares for others and contributes to the family and community.
Anna in her role as a Table Topic Master, brought a whole array of questions starting with reminiscing about Christmas and New Years celebrations and ending with topics on New Year's resolutions. All members participated in the Table Topics, including some guests. Kudos to the guests!
Joyce evaluated Larry's speech. Elizabeth presented the Timer's report. Kevin served as a Grammarian and reminded everyone of the common grammatical errors. He also noted that several members used the word of the day skillfully.
Paul wore many hats at the meeting - Toastmaster and General Evaluator. He also took the roles for the next meeting which will be held on January 21.
Have a great weekend!
Respectfully submitted,
Martha Danielewicz
Secretary
