President Scott opened the meeting at 07:47. After conducting a round of introductions from all members and guests he turned control of the meeting over to our guest Toastmaster Rich. Our Table Topics Master for the day was also a guest, Brian.
We had two great speakers this morning. First was Nagisa, she was working on Project 8 of the Competent Communicators manual, Get Comfortable with Visual Aids. She told us of her involvement in the Tomato Battle in Seattle; how she got involved; and the battles origins in Spain.
Second was Stephen. He was completing project 9 from Competent Communicators manual, Persuade with Power. He helped us understand about why each of us should Become Your Own Doctor (You are your first responder!). He helped us understand how our personal health is connected to the world around us and how we should be in control not a doctor.
Brian lead us in a series of questions related to the Presidential elections for Table Topics, our opportunity to practice impromptu speaking. Rich won the ribbon for best response.
Dave And Scott provided great feedback to Nagisa and Stephen on their speeches and Sonja evaluated our overall meeting.
Scott then ended the meeting 4 minutes early with a reminder about the District 2 conference happening at the Lynnwood Convention Center on Saturday, November 10th.
