SDRAWKCAB (Backwards) Meeting set for September 17th

,sretsamtsaoT wolleF olleH  (Hello Fellow Toastmasters, in "Backward")

Our "Backward" meeting will NOT be this complicated, but it WILL BE FUN! Our agenda will look very different this week... call it upside down/reversed/backwards; it will take us outside the box and flip us over! Here is a general idea of how the meeting will flow, as long as we just "go with it."  There really is no wrong way to meet backwards. 

Our meeting will start with the gavel, adjoining the meeting by our Presiding Officer. She will then move to announcements (that are for real), guests comments about our meeting (that will be pretend), and awarding the Toastmaster of the Day (whom Dawn will choose for some fictitious reason, but it will be good!) She will then thank the Toastmaster (who would have normally "turned control back to her." The Toastmaster will ask for Toastmaster of the Day, and give closing remarks on the meeting.

The General Evaluator will ask for the Timer's report, who will give fictitious times (may prepare ahead of time if you'd like), give general comments on the great (or not so great) meeting and work through the Grammarian, Ah Counters reports who will give their made up versions of who said what well and who used certain filler words respectively.  Evaluator #2 will then get up and give an evaluation before hearing the speaker's speech (possibly based on their title?), and so on with the next evaluator.

The Table Topics person will call on people who will give a response to a question, not yet proposed, and THEN the Table Topics person will give the question. The next person will be called on to respond to a question they have not heard yet, and then the Table Topics person proposes the question. It will be fun to see what the question was that the respondent supposedly answered! Does this make sense?

The third speaker will then give their speech (No, not backwards.), and THEN the TM will introduce them, and so on. In other words, the speakers will speak in the 3,2,1 order. We will be on such a roll by now, and having a great time with the backwards theme! 

You will have an agenda to review and to use as your guide. We will be SO TRICKY, we won't be able to stand ourselves! Your role may take a little preparation and creativity to play along. But, it will be so worth it!

Thank you, Fellow Toastmasters for joining in on our reversed meeting with a "Backward"  theme, beginning with signing up for a role. There's nothing "backward" about this part. :)

Your Backweird Toastmaster,

Sandy
