Toastmaster (and Immediate Past President) Melissa had us on a fun meeting with the theme “Dog House”

Opener Bill had a funny story about building a dog house for his dog “Moonshine”. After he built it, Moonshine refused to use it…..

Barney did one of the speeches from the Interpersonal Communications manual, using Steve as his partner. This is a 3 part speech, with a lead in speech, a role play dialog with a partner, and an evaluation of the topic. We had an interesting, if short, round robin evaluation as part of the presentation.

James hit a nerve with a discussion about a home improvement project…he needed to make a change from doing the work to managing the work. Fortunately, he’s done the Project Manager role before, so it was not a disaster…..

Julie did a reading of a poem from her childhood.

Table topics Master Yao had a relatively small group to torment tonight, since we were thinly attended.

General Evaluator Richard led the Evaluation Team. Bill evaluated Barney’s speech, Dale evaluated James, and Steve evaluated Julie.

Toast of the Day went to Everyone, for pitching in to fill all the roles, and have a seamless meeting

Most Improved Speaker went to James

Best table Topics went to Scott

Best Evaluator was a 3 way tie: Richard, Dale, and Steve.
