Another full house tonight and we welcomed our first time guests Jasenka, Paul and Richard, and returning guest Brad. Thanks so much for visiting and glad you enjoyed the meeting! We were also joined by Dr. Doug Thiessen, Ph.D., who is the District Lt. Gov. Education and Training on this his first visit to Tillicum, and we were so pleased to see you!
Las Vegas was the lively theme of the evening, congenially chaired by Lutz, who began by advising how Las Vegas got its name (The Meadows) and ongoing colourful history!!
Susan as Grammarian chose Imprudent (adj.) as the word of the day. Meaning unwise, injudicious, rush, imprudently (adv.) with the example: “Fred imprudently bet all of his money at the roulette tables.” Used with some continuity, imprudent seemed an appropriate choice for those who are sometime gamblers! Thanks Susan!
Michelle L. as Table Topics Master kept to the theme of the evening and called on five members to interpret situations such as What kind of games do you like? (Craps from John) Apart from gambling, what would you do in Las Vegas? (Natalie chose to read). Maureen won the Best Table Topics Award for offering to take her special guest Daniel Craig (aka James Bond) to Las Vegas – yeah, in your dreams!!
Maurice was our most amiable Toastmaster and introduced two program speakers: Lindsey Ann who charmed us with her Ice Breaker and Mariam, speaking from the Storytelling Manual and who relayed a fable. Great going both of you, and congrats to Mariam who won Best Speaker Award! Tom and Julie tied for Best Evaluators. Congratulations to all winners!
Congratulations too go to Andrea who was presented with the Nickel Award for completing her 5th speech some weeks ago. Only five more to go Andrea when you can proudly boast of becoming a Competent Communicator!
Mariam is chairing the March 2nd meeting, so please assist her when she calls on you to fill roles.
Best wishes,
