President Belinda kicked off the meeting with a series of rhetorical laurels she awarded to all members who had made the Division Conference three days earlier a great success; several cheeks of front-runner Edith turned red... TM of the Day Liam smoothly carried us through the program. In one of his multiple comical remarks he pointed out that Frank's speech titled "Here" had to be discarded from the agenda because, actually, Frank was not here... Table Topics master Maylen made three of us comment on some socially critical images, one of them showing a child soldier. While doing so she fought hard with our disliked word fillers scrutinized by Maria.
The speeches. In the run-up icebreaking Carol Ann was nervously sitting next to Florian who didn't really help her with his overblown comments. But then she did a great job. No fillers, extraordinary content. We really got to know her personality well. Congratulations. Veronika made her body speak explaining to the audience why a "Kangaroo" ended up in Barcelona, and Rose practiced her vocal variety skills painting us a vivid picture of her last trip to Malaysia. Chris not only did a great job keeping the time records for the speeches, but also for the three following evaluations by Jeff, Florian and Belinda.
After some constructive criticism by our General Evaluator Peter and closing remarks by Belinda the meeting continued in a close-by tapas bar.
Hope to see you all back next time when we continue to raise the bar on May 2nd.
