Paul, as sergeant at arms, started the meeting by pointing out three members of Cedar Hill Toastmasters, Joyce, Elizabeth, and Martha had a group photo in the April issue of Toastmasters magazine.
Three guests were present.
As Toastmaster for the evening, John Calderbank pointed out that April 7 was "beer day."
The word of the day, aphorism, was given by Joyce. Several people gave examples of aphorisms during the evening.
Larry gave the joke for the day.
Marla gave her Ice Breaker speech telling of her fear of public speaking and how it influenced her psychology path in college.
Kevin practiced a speech he will be giving at the Area Speech contest.
Larry, doing Table Topics, had people pull words out of a bag and talk about that word, such as family, religion, and Spring. One of the guests participated.
Paula, as General Evaluator, called on Anna to evaluate Marla and Eliot to evaluate Kevin. Kevin also asked for general comments from members as to how he could improve his speech.
Anna gave a detailed grammarian report. Paul gave the timer's report.
After the meeting was adjourned, John reminded people of the Area Speech contest, Friday @ 6PM, 256 Church St, Middletown.
Larry presented certificates for the Speech Contest.
