Top of Texas Toastmasters Meeting Recap – January 23, 2016



Top of Texas had another great meeting on Saturday with three speakers, a large audience, and one guest.  Our guest, Wayne, is a past member of our club who is back in town after five years of living out of state.

In honor of the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo that is currently taking place at Will Rogers Memorial Center, the theme of our meeting was the Stock Show & Rodeo.


Our first speaker was Carenthia who gave her Ice Breaker speech.  We learned about Carenthia’s childhood, education, and her strong desire to serve her country.  Carenthia used humor and storytelling skills in her speech and did a great job!  We thank Carenthia for her service to our country.


Next, Jennifer told us about her experience with the Beachbody products and fitness plan.  From the sound of it, the Beachbody supplements have been very good for Jennifer’s body and has helped her health.  With this speech Jennifer is halfway to completing her CC (Competent Communication) manual and attaining her CC education level! 

Our third speaker was Ken who educated the members with a speech from the Toastmasters Successful Club Series.  Ken walked us thru the two Toastmasters educational tracks: the Communication track and the Leadership track. 


Ken provided us with a number of online resources that are available and can help members move toward earning the DTM (Distinguished Toastmaster) award.  This speech provided a good overview for many of our new members, and a good refresher for some of our long-time members.  Here are some links from Ken’s speech below:


Our club welcomes all guests and we meet every Saturday morning (except holidays) at 9 am at the Northwest Bible Church in northwest Fort Worth.  We hope to see you at our next meeting!
