Eagles,
Tonight’s meeting, led by Toastmaster Tom Corrigan,
showcased the greatness of our club and our members!
Many clubs have told us that they are challenged to find one
or two speakers for their meetings while their members take on multiple
functionary roles. At tonight’s meeting, Eagle Toastmasters filled the agenda
on very short notice thanks to the depth and experience of our membership.
Two of our more experienced Eagles stepped up. Kate Kelly
and Joseph Oddie. Joseph notified us of a last minute conflict which
provided others the opportunity to sign up….and sign up they did! Sandra
Centorino and Deb Haggett stepped up and signed up! Tonight’s
meeting blossomed into an educational/multi-media experience!
Speaker #1, Kate Kelly, gave us an overview of
Microsoft One Note via computer and overhead projector. She showed us several
interesting applications of the often overlooked Microsoft icon that is on our
computer. (Hint: it looks like a notebook). Congratulations to Kate as
tonight’s speech completed her Competent Communicator’s milestone.
Speaker #2, Sandra Centorino, gave a Facebook Live
demo using her iPad tethered to her cell phone. If you are Sandy’s Facebook
friend, you can see what she did by looking at her feed. If you’re not a friend
of Sandy, well……send her a request!
Speaker #3, Deb Haggett, used a prerecorded video on
a video monitor. Ironically, “video Deb” was the only speaker that observed the
timer cards hoisted by our Timer, Jaime Fisher.
Thanks to our other functionaries not mentioned above……Paula
Erardi - our Grammarian, Robin Corrigan – Quote of the Day and
General Evaluator, Brad Leete – our Jokemaster that told us about the
talking, lying dog, and Peter Penev – Ah Counter. Yours truly served as
the Topic Master and Evaluator. Allie Centorino and Jaime Fisher
served as Evaluators as well…….It is always refreshing when our newer members serve
as Evaluators as they offer fresh insights.
Our next meeting will be the Speech and Table Topic Contest
on March 6th…….We have a signup sheet for the contest (we have open
roles and would love to see more contestants) as well as a food signup sheet (note
that the club will provide pizza as our main dish).
Please be on the lookout for more messages on the speech
contest!
Tony Centorino
Eagle Secretary
