What a great way to spend a cold and rainy Friday afternoon! We got off to a great start by inducting another new member, Lt Col Bill Gibbons from Fleet Numerical. We also celebrated the fact that Alec Metz has completed all his speeches for Competent Communicator - congratulations Alec!
Glenn Woodson, in his fourth time as TMoD this year, ran an exciting and innovative meeting with the theme of "Leap Day" - or "Bisextile" as we learned. Being a "Leaper" himself, he shared interesting information about the history and meaning of February 29.
Table Topics Master Leena Oh challenged Elie Ishag, Warner Howser, and Masami Maeda with questions on the theme of Leap Year. When the voting was finished, it was Elie who was declared best Table Topics speaker.
Emilie Staryak led off the prepared speeches with her Swim, Bike, Run, the second speech in the CC manual. Emilie took us through the experience of competing in a triathlon, and she was awarded Most Improved speaker. Arnie Buss followed with his "Icebreaker" speech (his third one) The Education of Mr. Spock, telling how he is learning to be more right-brained. Alec Metz finished with his first speech as a fresh new CC, My Dinner with Arnie, relating his experience the previous afternoon visiting the Talk the Line Toastmasters club in Soledad Prison. Alec got the nod as Best Speaker for his speech, the first in the advanced manual "The Entertaining Speaker."
Three terrific evaluations followed: Elie, in his first speech evaluation, evaluated Emilie. Carl evaluated Arnie, and Angi won Best Evaluator for her evaluation of Alec's speech.
