December falls always into our lives suddenly and surprisingly; and the last meeting of the year, on the Tuesday 21st December 2010, is there. With double enthusiasm, because the performance has two acts, the first at Casa Orlandai with the regular meeting, and the second , the Christmas Party at, La Cave, a nice restaurant and wine cellar in the neighborhood.
The regular party was governed by the symbol X. The X, the double XX and the triple XXX can have a number of meanings, like a wildcard, can be adapted to a number of situations, as the Toastmaster of the Day, Florian, explained.
Irene, new at the role of Table Topic Master, stimulated our imagination with various challenging situations where Table Topic speakers had to put into scene (put a // ..air controller…torero.. football player.. opera diva..toast master…. president of government..// …. in your life!!)
Speeches by Alvaro, selling hot air balloons, Alex, with his Guinness record (not official) of time to prepare a Competent Communicator project, and Rose, our banker, making clear that bank services are always cheap.
The second act was the most important, the Christmas party at La Cave, a very nice place and an attractive discovery for most of us. The game there (besides an excellent dinner) was playing with bottles, but only with the bottles, not with its content! There are so many bottles of all categories at La Cave, magnificently organized and described by poetical sentences! Topic Table impromptus revealed the hidden relationship of the speakers and the bottles.
Next year will be a good year for toastmasters, no doubt. This is the advantage of the activities where you only can improve!
Till the next,
