Happy Cinco de Mayo! As always, it was great to see everyone! Stanley Dalziel was Toastmaster of the Evening. Nancy Hogg was General Evaluator. Wade Miner was Table Topics Master. We were pleased to host 3 first-time visitors: Al, Jermaine and John. Al and Jermaine serve in the Air Force. John is a William and Mary student and Tribe football player. We had 16 members in attendance and 4 speakers.
Speaker # 1 was Janet Krenn, evaluated by Rick Boyer. Janet presented a "Persuade with Power" project from Competent Communicator manual. Janet is our Club Treasurer and in her speech she proposed to purchase a much-needed screen projector. As of today, the club does not own any AV equipment. Such a purchase would help members address their need for using powerpoint in their presentations. At the end of her speech, Janet asked club members to vote on this matter. The majority of the club was in favor of the new purchase.
Speaker # 2 was Christy Gardner, evaluated by Magda Brugos. With new officer elections on the horizon, Christy used this opportunity to speak about responsibilities of each Toastmaster officer role. She also talked about the benefits of being a club officer. She wrapped up her presentation with a question and answer session.
Speaker # 3 was John Harman, evaluated by Juan Martinez. John presented project # 7 from CC manual. He spoke about the Lewis and Clark expedition. He used visual aids and had done a great deal of research while preparing for his speech.
