Hello Toastmasters Family.
This meeting, there were 20 in attendance. That count included 5 guests: Michael Colson, Jean and Jazmin Smith, Justin Hitt and Ed Florey. Toastmaster of the Evening was John Harman. Table Topics master was Danita Fox. General Evaluator was Nancy Hogg.
Four speakers rounded out the program. Speaker #1, Christy Gardner, talked about "water, water everywhere" and only 1% is available as drinking water. Water treatment plants and nature's water cycle are how used/waste water gets back into the 'available as drinking' water status. Christy also discussed contaminants in drinking water and the role of the EPA in this subject. Speaker #2, Sandy Peterson, presented as her third manual speech the topic what happened to the dogs at the center of the Michael Vick dog fighting scandal. Janet Krenn, Speaker #3, talked about talking. Specifically, she said to prepare for a talk/speech you must organize, lead with (an) important detail and have an actionable opening to generate interest in/from your audience. Finally, Speaker #4, Wade Miner, discussed how to get past the "security guard" to make big changes. Make small changes over time to tackle the big effort/habit/problem, like a bricklayer lays single bricks to make a large brick wall. Janet Krenn got the Best Speaker ribbon.
