All or Nothing

The theme was All or Nothing for the July 27, 2014 Top of Texas Toastmaster Club meeting, and it fit the day very well. Ana Ortega was our Toastmaster and Jeff Wright called our meeting to order as the presiding officer. Recent new member Bobby Russell who was a little under the weather graciously introduced “Eclipse” as the word of the day, acted as Grammarian, and also was the team’s Timer.

Ken Dorsey and Jeff Wright both provided speeches while Table Topics was lively with an All or Nothing twist. Ken’s sixth speech met the requirement for Vocal Variety and was entitled “Life Thru the Eyes of a Child”. Ken described colorful encounters he had with his boys when they were younger and how sometimes what they are thinking is anything but what you expected.

Jeff Wright’s speech was an excerpt from Romeo and Juliet Act II Scene II. With this speech, Jeff completed his Advanced Communicator Bronze Certification. Way to go Jeff! DeAnna Wolf and Apama Valluri provided Evaluations. DeAnna shared the importance of protecting the lectern space and never leaving it unoccupied. A valuable tidbit for everyone! 

Ana wrapped things up as JokeMaster and shared several clever and funny anecdotes that had everyone amused. Great meeting!
