Tuesday night, I made the drive down to Connellsville for our hybrid Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting. We had seven in attendance, with three including me in person and four online. Our theme was “Focused on Success”.
Right now, we are focusing on success as we get credit for our awards. Goals that we want to focus on are growing membership and retaining our existing membership base as well. March is coming, so we would like to focus on reinvesting in our future and the club as well.
I signed up for Toastmaster and introduced our speaker who gave a great Innovative Planning on the 5 M words important to us. Our founding member and Program Quality Director Sharon gave the invocation and included me in it too. She complimented me on the sweater that I was wearing. Thanks, it’s Old Navy.
That made me feel good and boosted my confidence. I do this journey to be an inspiration to people to be their authentic selves. If you are curious, I was wearing my Leopard Print sweater.
We had double duty at our meeting with Ryan and Cosmas serving multiple roles. A first that I witnessed at Laurel Highlands (or any meeting) was the Round Robin for a Speech Evaluator. Reason being is that Ryan is representing the club in Saturday’s Area 23 Evaluation Contest. All of us in the club gave him feedback to improve his performance in lieu of taking home first prize.
We scheduled our officers’ meeting for the next night, and our president was able to take notes on What’sApp.
Our next three meetings are March 10, March 24, and April 14.
