Toastmasters - Well Said

Welcome to new member, Josh! He visited for his second time last week.

We also had two interesting speeches. Tim gave an inspiring and thought-provoking one titled Honor vs. Honesty. And Rich shared insight with humor about Keeping the Commitment in relation to supporting your Toastmasters club. The theme was Chocolate, but neither Mr. Wonka nor Charlie Bucket were seen.

For Table Topics, we reviewed a few tips:
* start talking and meander until an idea comes to you
* over-accept the topic
* get the audience to feel an emotion by telling a brief story

We'd love to see you at our next meeting on February 18, 12 pm.

Have a great week.
