Larry Everett served as TM with the theme “Reflections on Education", and Stacey Modahl served as the Table Topics Master, and did a wonderful job with selecting questions relative to the theme meeting.
Since this was MEA Week, the theme for the meeting was "Reflections on Education", and participants were asked to think about a teacher or someone who had a significant impact on his or her life. In many ways, all of us are "teachers" - helping children, family, and/or friends.
We had two speakers, Joe Muniz with a speech from the C&L manual, topic #2, Organize Your Speech. His title was “Find your Strength.” Hegave an impressive speech related to his work as a Marketing Sales Manager for a local IT firm.
Ravi Bakshi was our second speaker with a speech from the C&L manual, topic #8. The title was “Joys of Leadership – A Learning Experience”. His speech content related some of the challenges he has with serving as the Area 92 Governor for the current Toastmaster year. Ravi is repeating C&L manual.
General Evaluator – Pamela Sakayan (practicing her improvisational character - Olga Katrina). She is our club comedian, and helped to make the meeting livelier.
Grammarian – Ruth Fernandez with word of the day “inspiration”. All were inspired who attended the meeting.
Ah Counter – Tom Schmid
Timer – Lee Handwerger
Sergeant-at-Arms – Jennifer Ray
Toastmaster of the Day was awarded to Larry Everett for bringing the meeting together. There were a number of open duty positions open the night before the meeting, but concerned members appeared and help to make this an inspired meeting.
Since we only had two speakers, we had time for 4 or 5 table topics. Several members listed above had an opportunity to reflect on the theme, including Lynn Nodland, who was also present.
Three guests attended the meeting.
