Eagles,
October 3rd was a lightly attended meeting with a
heavy mix of our more seasoned Eagles, and two of our newer members. Our
meeting showcased the strength of our club….We started the evening with two planned
speakers (Tony and Chris) and ended up with four as Amy and Deb pulled speeches out of their hip pockets!
-
Chris
gave a poignant speech about “The Most Important Person You’ll Never See”……he
gave us a very unique perspective on 911 operators.
-
Deb
gave a speech about how one can earn a college degree without the big expense.
-
Amy
taught us about how to write a stellar resume.
-
Yours truly took another run at “The Book”
Ute led Table
Topics about Fall/Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday). Paula served as our Grammarian and Ah Counter…..As usual, she was
on her game and kept us on our toes. Ian
served as General Evaluator, and evaluated Chris’s
speech. Sandy, Amy, and I all served as evaluators. Deb provided our humor and Sandy
our quote of the day.
A special shout out to the Newbies….Maryanne and Joe. Ian conducted a round robin evaluation
of my speech, which gave them an opportunity to critique my speech. They
provided the kind of fresh perspective rarely offered by our seasoned members.
Please know that every
Eagle is qualified to sign up as an evaluator. In many ways it’s easier than
signing up for a speech…..you simply give a mini speech based on the evaluation
criteria that you complete during the break. Please think about this as you sign
up for the next meeting!
A couple of programming notes…..
The Area B 24 Contest will take place on Thursday October 11th at the
Lucy Robbins Library in Newington at
6:00 PM. Amy will be competing in the Evaluator Competition, and I will
compete in the Humorous Speech Competition. Please consider attending and
supporting our club. Contests are a lot of fun to watch!
Our next Eagle Meeting is on 10/17 at 7:15….Virtually every
role is available, including Toastmaster. Please considering signing up for
something!
Tony
Eagle Secretary
