Fellow Toastmasters,
This is the second in the new series of meeting wrap-ups for NPS Toastmasters, and has been approved by the club’s Executive Committee.
Breaking news…. Our very own Glenn Tolle once again emerged as a humorous speech contest winner - this time as the Division A champ with his victory this past Saturday October 8th in Aptos! Next level is the District 4 contest in Milpitas on November 18th… where Glenn will compete with the winners of the other seven Divisions in District 4. (District 4 consists of over 200 Toastmasters clubs from San Francisco south through Monterey County.)
We had another great meeting this past Friday 7 October with 19 members and 10 guests present. Once again, we had to bring in chairs from the next room! Four of those 19 members were voted in and inducted at the beginning of the meeting - welcome aboard to Mary Ann Kleine, Dave Mazur, Ned Powley, and Glenn Woodson! Mary Ann is from the outside community, the other three are associated with the Naval Postgraduate School. This brings our total of new members since 1 July 2006 to 17, with at least one more being voted on this coming Friday.
Friday’s meeting was a real treat - Toastmaster Mary Lineberger and GE Robin Walker shook things up by restructuring the normal order of participants and bringing some fresh thinking into our programming! Speakers were first, then Table Topics, and then evaluators. That gave the evaluators extra time to prepare contest-quality evaluations, which is what Robin as GE expected them to do. The speakers were an “all-Anderson” team, with Angi giving a very unique icebreaker and Brian delivering his #4 speech. Angi beat out her husband as “Best Speaker”, while Brian received “Most Improved”. Warner Howser was “Best Table Topics”, while President Brendan Epps took “Best Evaluator”. Congratulations to all!
Treasurer Fred Sadler announced a “pot-luck” club social to be held at his house in Carmel on Sunday afternoon November 12th. He’s providing details, but put the date aside now!
For better listening, thinking and speaking,
- Carl
