At Top of the Hill Toastmasters we had a rather refreshing meeting Thursday night, April 17, 2014 with a Spring Time theme led by our Toastmaster, Fred.
Speaker Liliana taught us about a Food of the Gods: Amaranth Grains. Not only did she do a PowerPoint presentation on the history and traditions of how this high protein, low sodium healthy grain was used but brought some to share with us. Yum! New member, Julie, gave her first speech tonight. Julie shared with us her award winning illustrations for children’s books. Our Toastmasters have so many talents!
Topics Master, Jean, provided us with quotes from famous authors and poets that were related to spring. She called upon random members to come up and give a little impromptu speech related to a quote in order to practice thinking on our feet.
The final part of the meeting was conducted by General Evaluator Jacob who facilitated the evaluations and reports portion.
This is where the magic happens! We learn, we grow, we inspire eachother! The evening was rounded out by some friendly camaraderie and good conversations. Join us next week for a special meeting at The Palomares Café’s new location, 20390 Lake Chabot Rd Castro Valley. Meeting starts at 7:15 but feel free to come early for dinner.
Thanks go out to Associate Editor Pam for this week's Blog / Newsletter entry.
