"Those Were the Days" August 20, 2009 Meeting Recap

Larry Everett served as TM with the theme "Those Were The Days", and Betty Liedtke served as the Table Topics Master, and did a wonderful job with selecting questions using the song lyrics "Those Were The Days" by Mary Hopkin as a source for questions.

One Speaker - Ravi Bakshi - Speech Title: Blowing in the Wind.  Ravi was a blimey speaker today, because with a title he chose, no one knew what he was going to talk about until he got into the speech.  No, he was not just shouting into the wind, he was describing some of the points about flying an airplane and "blowing in the wind".  Some members learned something new today about Ravi, and his pilot license from years ago -
Yes, those too were the days.


General Evaluator - Sergeant-at-Arms - Jennifer Ray
Grammarian - Tom Schmid with word of the day "blimey" - interj Brit & NZ slang an exclamation of surprise or annoyance.  But no one was annoyed today.
Ah Counter - Trichy Pasupathy
Timer - Shaun Jamison's daughters
General Evaluator - Pamela Sakayan, practicing her improvisational character speaking as a blimey Brit.  She really did a super job with the British accent. 

Toastmaster of the Day was awarded to Betty Liedtke for her wit with Table Topics.
