What did you miss on Tuesday? 23 of our 26 members were at last Tuesday’s meeting! We also had SIX guests (one soon-‐to-‐be-‐member, Greg Tosi). Toastmaster of the evening, Alvin Bartz, chose “Happiness” as the theme, which lifted the atmosphere into one of joy and generosity. Word of the day: GORGONIZE: to have a paralyzing or mesmerizing effect on.

Speaker 2) Lillian Koziol -‐-‐ DTM Title: Toastmasters International Evaluated by: Amanda Tanner
NEVER MEMORIZE YOUR SPEECH! Daryle provided the club with b est practices when delivering a speech, including the all-‐important reminder, “It’s never about the speaker—it’s all about the audience.” I bet we will see a lot more bullet points in n ear future! Speaker 4) Patrick Plaskett, CC Title: Words and Intentions Evaluated by: Brent Wahl
“We are on the starship Enterprise” began Lillian, comparing the global community of toastmasters to the varied and diverse crew of Star Trek. Lillian passionately reminded u s, that as Toastmasters, we are part of something so much larger than ourselves.
Words have power, but intentions have MORE power. In a multi-‐media presentation, Patrick walked us through his past; illustrating the strength intention gives words. He brought his message home by serenading us with original song on his guitar.
