Before the meeting begun, Joyce introduced some housekeeping items related to filming of our club'sToastmasters meeting. Paul, Sargent of Arms began the meeting with a moment of silence to honor those who lost their lives in the Egyptian plane crash. Paul served the role of Toastmaster of the evening and explained clearly the sections throughout the meeting since we had three honored guests in attendance.
The word of the day " gaucherie" was presented by Joyce. Eliot put his humorous hat on and delivered some entreating jokes. We had two speakers - Larry and Lyn. Larry delivered a speech "Trains" from the Entertaining Speaker series, revealing his passion for watching trains. He gave some insight on this hobby and provided additional entertainment with the use of visual aids. Lyn presented a speech entitled "Inspiring Sustainability" from CC manual, Project 8 - Using Visual Aids. She introduced the inspiring sustainability ideas such as composting, permaculture, roof top gardens and vertical gardening just to name a few.
Table Topic session was shared by Elizabeth and Mohamed. Their questions challenged the imagination of the participants. It's not everyday question on what you would do if you were invisible or had the super powers.
Martha was the General Evaluator. Kevin evaluated Larry's speech and Paul evaluated Lyn's speech. Joel delivered the Timer's report along with some helpful tips. John was the Grammarian who presented a thorough report and some helpful suggestions.
