Thursday December 10th - A Chilly Meeting Recap

"Brrr, It's Cold Outside" was the theme for the Marsh Winds meeting last Thursday. BUT, it was warm and cozy around our Toasty table! Roles were filled as needed with Susan Budig as Ah Counter, Leslie Smith as Grammarian and Dawn Anderson as Timer. Betty Liedtke gave a speech that not only warmed our hearts, but added steam to our Toastmaster bonding by sharing a story of Toastmaster "goodness." Betty's evaluator, Jean Keating gave her piping hot feedback with extra marshmallows! Having simmered some thoughtful Table Topics, Stacey Modahl elicited responses of tales of adventure in our winter wonderland. Larry Everett, as General Evaluator, gave our meeting some warm, fuzzies of approval. Our guest was hot "spot on" with her Table Topics response and report of her Toastmaster experience with us.

In the end, having delivered some hard, cold facts such as: We can think about getting past our fears of public speaking, but the only way to overcome them is to prepare and practice (in a safe environment such as Toastmasters), Toastmaster, Sandy Ryan, wrapped up our meeting (which ended with a blanket of applause). Betty Liedtke was awarded Toastmaster of the Day! She is so hot! :)
