General
Evaluator: Tom Corrigan
Evaluator
1: Richard for Uta—Uta made the story come alive
through the vocal variety of the characters.
Evaluator
2: Uta for Sonia—Sonia’s poise revealed that
Sonia has stood in front of people before.
She didn’t use much in notes and had courageous body movements.
Evaluator
3: Elaine for Lucy—Lucy is an experienced
speaker whose personality and eye contact allows her to have a marked presence
in front of an audience. She was
entertaining as well, with her allusion to her early days as a Perry Mason
fan. Ironically, though not a lawyer,
her responsibilities include making sure others abide by the law.
Grammarian: Tom P’s suggestion is for us to use “I hope”
as opposed to “hopefully” in order to overcome this grammar flaw. We also should eliminate the words “a lot”
and “kids” to increase our message’s effectiveness.
Kate: Open House is May 7, Monday; Tom Piekarski is
Chairperson, asking all to fill roles and bring in refreshments.
