It was the first real Toastmasters meeting of the new year for GREENSBURG since last meeting was the club contest.
Overall it was a great night. We had four guests show up and all gave an introduction of themselves and what they hoped to accomplish.
Mike Dalton served as Toastmaster and did a great job introducing our three speakers. Diane Svec spoke on how important it is to check yourself. Ina Bazley talked about rhubarb. Michelle Teague did a high performance leadership speech concerning the upcoming Spring conference.
Afterwards, yours truly served as your table topic master. With Valentine’s Day approaching, I felt it was an appropriate theme. I had a lot of participation from the members. Everyone liked the questions I had.
Denise Pullen served as General Evaluator and our Evaluators did an excellent job. Victoria Baur, for her first time evaluating, did great and she had a pretty important speech to cover. Sam Wieder stepped up to the plate and evaluated Ina’s speech. Faerie Grace gave her feedback on Dianes’s speech. Everyone gave their best suggestions and offered room for improvement.
We got word that we were praised for having all seven of our officers trained at December’s TLI. I also talked to Jim Teague about his upcoming Area contest on February 29 at Pitt-Johnstown; as well as the Division Contest March 28 being held at the same venue. He’s looking for help at both events.
Jim approached our guests and piqued their interest in joining the Greensburg Club. We believe it’s going to happen. One of the guests was a colleague of Jim’s who now works at Pitt-Greensburg. I love our club and its members and our guests who know they’re going to get a great experience.
We finished the meeting right on the dot at 8pm, after doing club business and planning the next couple of meetings. I stayed until just after 8:30.
I want to give a shoutout to my wonderful Toastmaster friend Sarah Souri, whose daughter just got accepted into the Doctor of Occupational Therapy program at Slippery Rock. Her son in law is in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at SRU. They picked a great school to attend.
Live your best life. Be your best you. ROCK out because you are worth it. Don’t forget to laugh because laughter is the best medicine. Friday’s coming and so is the weekend.
Have a great night. ❤️ you.
