Recap Farm Theme Meeting

Very theatrical meeting today. Thanks to all who came out on a beautiful day to enjoy your fellow toastmasters and share many laughs.

Dawn did an exceptional job as Presiding Officer. Jenn Ray was Toastmaster. The theme was Old MacDonald.

We started with a resounding rendition of Old MacDonald had a Farm. I would suggest that Lisa and Dawn compile a TM's rendition to be sung at the opening of every meeting!!!

Three fabulous speakers, Lee Handwerger, where we learned of his skill in catching something, not necessarily fish. Lisa Jenks who kept us in suspense for the closing punch line, there always is one with Lisa. And a beautiful read fable from India, Winners Never Quit, from Ravi Bakshi.

Marlene Geyen as Table Topics Master had us all laughing at the great way she wove our theme into some pretty thought provoking questions for our members.

Sandy did a lovely job at evaluating an excellent meeting. Trichy, as Ah Counter; Shaun our Grammarian, word Theatrical; and Timer, Larry Everett kept the meeting on perfect time.

Thanks to all for coming. Jenn Ray won TMOD award. So good to be back!!!

Hope all have a great day!!

Godspeed,
Jennifer Ray
