It was good to see four visitors at our meeting. Elizabeth, (Glad we didn't scare her off last time) and Inga, Chelsea and Melissa who had met some of our members stall at the Einbunpin Festival.
It's Show Week in Brisbane. The Exhibition or "Ekka" began on Thursday, so it was the theme of our last meeting. The theme was used in Liz's Round Robin, Jennine's Table Topics and even the Raffle, which was a sample bag filled with goodies by Trish. Kerry took on the role of Toastmaster for the first time and kept the meeting running smoothly.
Another first timer was Nicole, who gave an excellent speech evaluation.
There were three speeches. Kylie's very topical speech "Everyone Counts" was about the census.
Jonathon's speech "A Webi What?" explained what a Webinar is and convinced us of the benefits.
Lynda's speech was about "Motherhood"
Sharyn presented an Educational on "Giving Effective Feedback."
The Business Session, chaired by Leesa was a lively session with plenty to discuss.
Somehow, we still managed to finish on time and president Sharyn presented the awards for the evening.
Great entry Marlene! Not only as a record of another interesting meeting, but also informative for members not able to attend that night, plus those considering attending for the first time.
