Nine members (including two from Bayview Toastmasters) and one guest attended NPS Toastmasters 3rd monthly “Smedley Saturday” on March 24th. Smedley Saturday allows members needing to make progress in the Toastmasters educational program to have an additional opportunity to give manual speeches. Past Area Governor Rachelle Onishi of Bayview did an outstanding and professional job as Toastmaster of the Day. All but one of the speeches were from various advanced manuals, which often require more time than the standard 5-7 minutes. The speeches presented were:
Karen Woodson - C&L Manual #2: “Make a Difference in the Life of a Child”
Arnie Buss - Communicating on Television Advanced Manual: “A Parcel of Rogues”
Robin Walker - Interpretive Reading Advanced Manual: “The Cremation of Sam McGee”
John Lente (Bayview TM) - Specialty Speeches Advanced Manual - The Sales Speech: “Turn your Fat into Fuel”
John Lente (Bayview TM) - Specialty Speeches Advanced Manual - Speak Off the Cuff: “Being an Arab Linguist”
Mary Lineberger - Public Relations Advanced Manual - The Good Will Speech: “I Love Toastmasters”
Robin Walker won Best Speaker, having recited perfectly the very long poem “The Cremation of Sam McGee” from memory! Fred Sadler was Best Evaluator, and Karen Woodson, for the 2nd day in a row, Most Improved. Congratulations to all!
NEXT UP: Regular meeting on 30 March at NPS Glasgow Hall Room 389.
