Meeting of Monday, September 27, 2004

Another good turnout tonight with Grace as chair and the theme TV Commercials We Like/Dislike! Lots of input for this one!

Welcome to our guest Troy on his first visit to the club and to Bruce, our Area 80 Governor, who made his club visit to Tillicum – and a terrific night lay in store for them!

Anita and Mihaela were inducted as our two newest members! Congratulations and best wishes to you both in your Toastmaster experience.

Mary K, our elequent Secretary, also acted as Grammarian and gave us the wod: Persuade; as a verb: to cause to do something urgent or inducement; and as an adjective: having the power or tending to persuade. Example: “It was a very persuasive advertising campaign.”

Fun and games took place during a 7-member Table Topics, hosted by Hal. Mary K won the Best Table Topics Award with her vivacious and persuasive reality TV presentation on how to gain weight and keep it on! Well done Mary – now back to the Twinkies!

Rosemary informed us with her 2nd project, this time on Winning Evaluations, and has now completed her Competent Leader. Congratulations Rosemary on achieving ATM B and CL in a few short weeks!!

This brings our club goals to 4.5 and you can see the full breakdown of how Tillicum is doing as we meet the half-way mark to our goal of President's Distinguished Club. Well done Tillicum!

For members who are renewing, please contact Judy as dues should be paid by Thursday, September 30th.

Maureen mentioned the Pizza Night that is scheduled for Monday, October 25th. It was such a success last May, that we are pleased to do the same again – with the same varieties: Deluxe, Vegetarian and Ham and Pineapple. Just $10 buys pizza and a contribution towards club funds. Such a deal!! Maureen will collect monies on October 4th and 18th, and last minute payment on the 25th!! Please contact Maureen with your choice of pizza so we know who wants what!!

BIG REMINDER!!! The club’s Humorous Speech and Table Topics Contest is next Monday, October 4th – so come one come all to our contest this fall! It will be fun, so don’t miss out on such an entertaining evening!

Do check the Calendar of Events and Assigned Roles that have been posted for October to December.

Best wishes, and look forward to seeing you next Monday, October 4th at the club contest.
