We had a great meeting on November 2nd at the VFW Post.
Janice B. was our Toastmaster and we had a nice full agenda.
Our word of the day was Miasma – an adjective which generally means - which is a vapor from a swamp or a fog, it can also be an influence that can cause one to be depleted or corrupted.
We then all enjoyed a joke about healthcare.
Janice P. presented a prepared speech tonight that was from an advanced toastmaster manual – The humorous speech and it was entitled “My Nemesis”. The speech revolved around all of her humorous encounters with mice over the years.
Our Table topics master for the evening, Rob, asked the question – “If you could invite anyone, living or dead to dinner, who would you invite, and what questions would you want to ask them?
Our Revolutionary fathers, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and the others involved in the revolution were the guests of many of us. But some others would like to speak with Tony Robbins, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. One person wanted to speak with the characters of the TV show Mad Men and ask them some questions. Another member wanted to speak with himself, 50 years from now.
We then listened as the evening’s speech evaluation was presented and the timer and the grammarian and Ah Counter presented their reports.
We were lucky enough to have a visitor come and hope that he had enough fun to return soon.
We look forward to our next meeting on November 16, at
