Our meeting tonight was chaired by myself (Judi).
The word given tonight by James was "EMANCIPATE".
It was his 1st time presenting "The Word "
Well done James".
A few members were absent tonight which meant some of those present had to wear two different hats .
Anne gave us the Toast tonight when Aaron was an apology , Tanya delivered the Soapbox in place of Rick, Glennis became our General Evaluator in place of Rick .
I did the evaluation for Anne's speech in place of Rick .
Well done everyone......
Thats what Toastmasters is all about being able to step up at short notice and do things off the cuff.

A very BIG "THANK YOU" to all who gave up their Saturday time to help out. ****************************** Eastern Division International Speech Contest Sunday 18th March was the Eastern Division International Speech contest held at Club Toukley and some of our members were fortunate enough to have been present to hear 6 FANTASTIC speeches. We saw what EXPERIENCED TOASTMASTERS are Capable of WOW. !!!! There were also 6 really great evaluations of a test speakers speech . If you weren't there you missed out on hearing some great speeches delivered by some very experienced Toastmasters. The Winner of the Eastern Division Speech Contest was PREMA De Cruze from Wyong Toastmasters who gave a fantastic speech about how Toastmasters is like Marriage . You have to be "In It For The Long Haul. During Prema's acceptance speech she explained that although she had been runner up at several Division Contests she was "IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL" and had kept on trying, finally being successful and taking home the TROPHY.... She said she had been the bridesmaid several times and finally through perseverance had become the Bride Well done Prema ....  ************************************ Thought for the day ...... Comfort zones are lovely places to be in , but nothing ever gets done there. ! ********************************** OUR Next Meeting 2/4/2018 This meeting is going to fall on Easter Monday April 2nd. It will be a shorter meeting than usual as the club closes early. Hope to see you there. If you are not able to be at a meeting please let Glennis know 0428 532 272 so that she doesn't include you on the agenda . ********************************************************************* |
