November 7th 2007

Toastmaster of the Day Edith drove the evening on history lane with Guy Fawkes, and the audience showed high motivation using English proverbs throughout the meeting. More humor from Marie, our recent Humorous Speech Contest winner, with her skit on salvaging men/women relationships. In continuation, Christian gave tips to the gentlemen on how to satisfy women (uff, hot stuff!). Back to more serious talk when Jeff in a genius way and at very short notice told us about Marcus Tullius Cicero, one of Rome's greatest orators. He shared with us one of Cicero's tips on how to memorize speeches. In her Table Topics session Marly squeezed the members' fruit of imagination by asking them - as writers - to reveal their book (fiction, travel etc.). The juice was delicious. Then a blackout, the lights went off. But Melinda, our VP Education, managed her training on How to Evaluate to Motivate without any slides. Evaluations remain the highlight of our TM sessions. Xavi, Veronika and Rose gave very constructive and motivating feedback to our speakers. Thanks to David and Jose Antonio for promptly covering the timer and ah counter roles in the very last minute.

Fellow Toastmasters, please volunteer for roles on the website! For recordings of the meeting, please contact Xavi Anguera. Thanks & see you in the next meeting!
