Saturday's meeting was an intimate one. Lina, who graciously stepped in to be Toastmaster picked the theme, "An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away." What did she share with us all? Interesting facts about apples, of course, because it was Eat an Apple Day. Did you know there are 7500 varieties of apples around the world? I learned this among facts about apples!
Ken was the only speaker, and he spoke out of the Competent Communication manual Speech #8: Getting Comfortable with Visual Aids. His speech title was "Space and Nanotechnology." It was a fascinating explanation on the expanse of the universe versus even the expanse of the "microuniverse" we cannot see in terms of atoms and molecules. It is through nanotechnology, attributes of things as common as plastic and foil can drastically change once they are broken down to its smallest components. It was a captivating speech which piqued my interest in the advancements we're making in technology. Ken spent a considerable amount of time preparing for this speech, and he is showing a strong dedication to Toastmasters.
Table Topics was fun because everyone was called upon twice to speak! Fun questions. It was a tie breaker! Both Jeff and Lina won! Shannon asked terrific questions ranging from topics on organic foods to holistic medicines. I think everyone did a great job on participation.
Next week Jeff will be the Toastmaster, so it's definitely going to be the meeting to attend!
