Toastmasters Recap/Update

Hey everyone,

Thanks to the people who were able to attend the meeting last Friday (including special guest John Palombo!).  For people who didn’t make it, here’s a recap of what you missed:

        JP gave us the word of the day:  egregious- extraordinary in some BAD way, glaring, flagrant  “It was an egregious insult” 

        Halong told us a few jokes including one about a ‘fresh’ strawberry…..

        Prashant gave a really excellent speech on crowdsourcing – This was his third speech and he’s a front-runner to be our first CC award winner

        Halong also led table topics and we had 100% participation telling stories about snow days.

Awesome work everyone, let’s keep this momentum going.

NEXT MEETING:  FEB 11

        Paul are you available to be the Toastmaster for this meeting?  It’s pretty easy and Halong can help with any questions you have.

        Halong volunteered to do a ‘2 minute talk’

        Yunling will be giving her speech

        Sara, if you can make it you can evaluate YL’s speech

        Changheng, can you work on a ‘word of the day’ and maybe a topic for table-topics?

        Angiah, maybe you can get a few jokes together?

        Tom C., I accidentally left you on this email, but feel free to stop by and catch the toastmasters fever – It’s spreading like wild-fire and the only cure is more public speaking!
