April 4, 2019 Meeting Recap and Role Assignments for April 11

Sergeant-at-arms, Bud Otto called the meeting to order at 7:00 AM. Bud had been out for a few weeks and it was good to have him back!

Una Richards, Vice President of Education made opening remarks. Una shared Club Central information from the Toastmasters International website that tracks our club status. We have reached Distinguished Club status! Paige will make additional entries to record Una’s completion of both the Leadership and the Competent Communicator Track – which will take us to Presidential Club status! Members were encouraged to review their manuals to make sure they have recorded their activities AND let our Vice President of Education, Una Richards, know so we can stay on track for the upcoming year.

Paige Kerr served as Toastmaster of the Day and assigned all the remaining roles.

Rob Kaercher gave the word for the day: redolent with two meaning:  strongly reminiscent and fragrant or sweet smelling.

Paige turned the meeting over to the Table Topics Master for the day, Colbi Ellison. Colbi had his wife fill a bag with items that he had not even seen and asked members to sell the item to the group. Members had to reach in the bag without looking. Items included one Air Jordan shoe, parsley, a poncho, an orange marker, etc! Jim Owen won for his inventive sales presentation about a nail clipper!

After the break, Magdalena Raj gave her third speech entitled, ADHD: It’s not just a punchline anymore. Una evaluated the speech giving Magdalena high marks for construction, pacing and very interesting information and details about ADHD.

Paige evaluated the meeting and Una reviewed the roles for next week.
