The meeting Wednesday night went smoothly for the seven members and two guests who were there. Our guests were students of SPC who were attending as part of the course requirements.

Robert was Toastmaster of the meeting. Speeches were given by Jonathan, Elan, and Loretta.

Jonathan is continuing to build on his surprising strength as a story teller. He revamped the traditional Goldilocks fable to make some points on the subject of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine.

Elan confessed to starting a marketing campaign to move a nutritional product. He asked for comments about the best way to use media for hand to hand marketing. If you weren’t there you missed the insightful comments from members and guests.

Loretta gave the talk on the Distinguished Club Program. Her theme was “written goals.” You could just about see Brian Tracy, Tony Robbins and Bob Proctor in the background nodding their heads.

Arnie was General Evaluator and also evaluated Jonathan. Kim evaluated Loretta and also led Table Topics. Elan got a written evaluation in the manual.

If Mel or Pam had been there we might have had an Ah Counter and Grammarian. Timing is the one task we cannot defer, and Alison handled that very well.

At our next meeting Kim will step up for her first time as Toastmaster of the meeting. Speeches are looked for from  Alison and Robert. Jonathan will serve as Table Topics Master. Loretta will be General Evaluator. That leaves Arnie and Elan to pick up what slack we can as Timer, Evaluators, Grammarian, Ah Counter and word of the day.

One idea that got discussed was allowing the Timer to select the word of the day. If I get to be Timer, I’ll have a word.
