July 1, 2010 marked the beginning of a new Toastmasters year. Happy New Year!
Thank you, all outgoing officers who served the club so well for the past year.
We had such a great meeting! It was an evening we will remember for a long time.
Stanley Dalziel was inducted as our new Club President. Congratulations, Stanley! We have great confidence in you as our new club leader.
Christy Gardner served as Toastmaster of the Evening. Jessica Ledbetter was General Evaluator.
19 were in attendence, including a "repeat" guest, Greg Eremeev. Thank you for coming again, Greg!
We listened to 4 speeches:
First was Linda Williams, evaluated by Stan Dalziel. Linda's speech was on the subject on fibromyalgia. Linda gave an account of her first-hand experience of living with fibromyalgia. Linda was diagnosed with this condition 20 years ago.
Second was Magda Brugos, evaluated by Bonnie Parker. Magda talked about her favorite summer memories and the importance of creating memories.
Third speech was delivered by Lois Boyle, evaluated by Tim Tonkovic. Her speech, "Just for today. The choice is yours", not only encouraged us to stop and appreciate the beauty in our daily lives but also to get rid of hurry and inattention.
Last, and certainly not least, was Dr. June Montgomery. June's Icebreaker speech, "Who am I?", melted any ice if there was any. She treated us to a beautiful live performance of the song "My Funny Valentine". This Icebreaker was certainly unforgettable! June's speech was evaluated by Wade Miner.
Rick Boyer was a Table Topic Master. Rick showed us a different twist on table topics. Participants (Stacey Wallace, Wade Miner, Lavorise Love and Adam Gold) were to show off their communication skills at a country court! The defendant (Wade) was accused of stealing a pig from his neighbor (Lavorise). Thankfully, Wade had two high-profile witnesses on his side (Stacey and Adam) and the jury decided Wade was NOT guilty of stealing the pig. They were all great and fun to listen to and watch. Great idea, Rick!
Ribbon Winners of July 1 Meeting were:
June Montgomery for Best Speech
Adam Gold for Best Table Topics Speaker
Wade Miner for Best Evaluator
CONGRATULATIONS!
