First-time Toastmaster of the Day (TMoD) Luke Lazzari wowed us all with his smooth running of our Friday-the-13th meeting using a theme of "luck". With only two scheduled speakers, Luke continued the format of last week with speakers/evaluators first and table topics second. This permitted no fewer than seven (7; count 'em!) table topics participants, with Brian Anderson's smooth presentation coming away as the winner.
Our resident Mongolian Mashbat Otgonbayer presented his #3 speech which expounded on the importance and advantages of traveling to different lands. And Area Governor Arnie Buss gave a short-notice but hilariously funny "hip pocket" #5 speech on body language, with a title of "Breaking Through the Fourth Wall". Arnie, already an ATM-S, is working on his second CC award and is halfway there! Arnie won Best Speaker while Mash was Most Improved. Fred Sadler won Best Evaluator, in part for pointing out how Arnie was setting the example for the rest of the club (second CC, hip pocket speech, and various speech techniques).
Welcome to our newest member, Scott Wilbur! Once we voted him in, Scott was one of 17 members and 4 guests who thoroughly enjoyed this meeting.
NEXT UP: 20 April regular meeting. Details soon!
