| Past President John T & President Steve |
Steve welcomed our guest Nikki to our meeting.
The theme was "Sew it Seams" and Toastmaster Christiane had decorated the tables with examples of her craftwork.
Darryl proposed a toast to his Auntie Marg who had passed away.
Wordmaster Annette T chose the word "Serendipity." which means "good luck in making fortunate discoveries by chance."
Round Robin Master John T asked us to describe a patchwork quilt depicting different aspect of our lives. The responses were varied and imaginative.
Tim presented a speech on Childhood Sleep Apnea. It was evaluated by Marlene
Nick spoke about Stuttering. He was evaluated by Dave.
Our third speaker was absent, so John T who has recently returned from an overseas trip, told us why we should visit Canada. He was evaluated by Darryl.
Jonathon dramatically presented the raffle that Leesa had donated - Scratchie cards. It was won by Karen. Jonathon even made the timers report sound exciting!
The Business Session was chaired by Steve.
Carmy provided an entertaining session with Table Topics for Dave, Jim, John T, Annette T, Jonathon, Marlene and Steve. If you missed it, ask Jonathon what he did with his mother's dart!
The Table Topics were evaluated by Karen and Trish.
Grammarian Darryl commented on the use of filler words and warned us to avoid saying "could of" instead of "could have."
