Our newest "Competent Communicator" (CC; formerly CTM) Scott Ceremuga showed his public speaking mastery by completing his #10 speech in the Communication and Leadership Manual , as President Glenn Tolle led the April 6th meeting with his theme of "Mastery". Scott used the occasion to do a "dry run" of the speech he hopes to present at the upcoming Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS) graduation, and won "Best Speaker" in the process! Scott is in competition with several other graduating MIIS students for the coveted assignment of commencement speaker. Good luck Scott, and congratulations!
Glenn Woodson jumped in as a speaker following a last-minute cancellation, and presented his #5 speech describing his experience with the sport of rowing. His evaluator, Eric Timmerman, came away with the "Best Evaluator" award.
In a variation of the normal schedule of events, Table Topics followed (rather than preceded) the speeches. TT Master Pete Blouin called on six (!) members to answer questions centering on the word "Master". They were:
* Master of Puppets: Angi Anderson
* Blaster Master: Robin Walker
* Master Card: Warner Howser
* Master of Ceremonies: Fred Sadler
* Masters of the Universe: Brian Anderson
* Jedi Master: Luke "Skywalker" Lazzari (he won "Most Improved")
Karen Woodson served as Grammarian, Shahid Abrar ul-Hassan raised a lot of money as "Ah" Counter, while Angi Anderson did a great job as a first time General Evaluator. We had a good crowd with 18 members and two new guests.
NEXT UP: 13 April meeting - see emails from Toastmaster Luke Lazzari.
14 APRIL: Division A Contest, 12:30PM, Agricultural Conference Center, 1432 Abbott Street, Salinas. Cost: $5.00. Come and support our Table Topics contestant, Angi Anderson!
