June 15th King Street Toastmasters Meeting

Greetings King Street Toastmasters,

We had a good meeting today (five guests: Chaz from Colorado, David and Eric from Toastmasters Wallingford, Joyce and Stacy from an architect firm around the corner!). Gwen tickled our funny bones about administering tests to those who wish to own cell phones, and Charlie argued his points for “re-electing no one”. Our thanks to Eric Likkel who served as one of our evaluators!

For next week’s Table Topics, we will have fun introducing each other (thanks Jon and Gwen for the great idea!). Here’s the idea:

If you wrote a book, what would the jacket cover say about you? (career, past accomplishments, personal life) In other words, if you were invited to speak at a conference, why should the audience listen to you? Please compose your biography and email to me by COB Wednesday, June 21.



The idea is for one member to introduce the other based on this biography. Each of us will have 30 seconds or so to determine which facts are most relevant and compose an exciting introduction for that person. It should be fast-paced fun! This will also serve as a type of team building/icebreaker for our group. Here are some links to reference:
