Meeting of Monday, March 9, 2009

Another full house tonight and we welcomed our first time guests Khosro (friend of Michelle P.) and Una, visiting from Quay Speakers in North Vancouver (friend of Natalie), and Paul, our returning guest. Many thanks for visiting and glad to hear you enjoyed the meeting!

Julie as Chairperson did an excellent job in keeping the meeting to theme and on time. Favourite Desserts was a favourite topic and, like the desserts themselves, was well received!

Brian
as Grammarian chose Prodigious – meaning sizeable, with the example: “He ate everything in sight with his prodigious appetite!” Thanks Brian for this word of the day, used quite often during the evening!

During the Business Meeting both Ray and Sohale were inducted into Tillicum – congratulations to you both; may you enjoy your membership and learn from Toastmasters!

John was, as usual, excellent in any role he plays and tonight was no exception! As Table Topics Master he presented five scenarios all relating to desserts and Maureen won the Best Table Topics Award, complete with cha cha routine! Thanks to Antonella for her good evaluation of the “contestants”!

Thanks too to Natalie for her contribution of desserts for the break, following which she took on the role of Toastmaster. Three program speakers: Andrea (#6), Jennifer (#7) and Michelle L. speaking from the Advanced Manual all presented so well. Congratulations to Andrea on winning the Best Speaker Award and to Rosemary for her evaluation of Michelle’s speech.

Brian will chair the March 16th meeting with the theme “Your First Car”, so please assist him when he calls on you to fill roles.

On a personal note: due to extending work objectives and personal reasons, I have decided not to renew membership with Tillicum at the end of March. I know I will miss our Monday meetings and I wish you all at Tillicum the very best. May you strive to meet your objectives and achieve much from your membership.

Thanks too for your support and best wishes,
God bless,
