Eagles,
Tonight’s Super Meeting was our third in four weeks with 22
members, 2 of which joined this evening! Paula
Erardi, tonight’s Toastmaster, presided over an action packed meeting.
Welcome to Jeannette
Bronsord and Peter Penev, our
newest members!
Tom Corrigan, our
Topics Master encouraged all members, newbies and seasoned members alike, to
create new sports using combinations of equipment that ranged from pool cues,
playing cards, and boxing gloves among other things. The goal was to replace
the Super Bowl with a new sporting event…….Or maybe Tom was just trying to
empty his garage of sporting goods collected over the years. Let me just say
that the Super Bowl is safe – for now!
Robin Corrigan was
our Humorist for the evening, and Joseph
Oddie served as our Quotemaster.
Kate Kelly,
Speaker #1, overcame her fear of needles to give blood. Her speech persuaded us
to do the same. Joseph Oddie,
Speaker #2, told us the parable of the Frog and the Scorpion, teaching us a
life lesson along the way.
With only two schedule speeches, we had an opportunity to add
a couple of items to the agenda. Sandra
Centorino requested help on some speech ideas for a Keynote Speaker Project
that she is considering. True to our Eagle Values, Sandra received a lot of Super
advice.
Thom Knowlton, generously
shared his DVD with the time remaining to show us a speech from World Champion
Mohammed Qahtani…..Thank you, Thom!
Special thanks to the functionaries not mentioned above….Robin Corrigan as Evaluator #1 and Tony Centorino as Evaluator #2 and Grammarian.
Heather McKelvie served as our Ah Counter,
Deb Haggett, our Timer, and Amy Demas as our General Evaluator.
Some Housekeeping…..
