Did you know that the average person spends about 58 minutes of the day eating? About 4 years in life consuming food!
For this second meeting of the fiscal year 2021-22, first time Toastmaster Jamie chose the topic of Good Eats.
Sergeant at Arms Bill Scott wasn’t present in this meeting, that’s why impromptu Sergeant at Arms, and past Sergeant at Arms, Judy Tandog shared with us zoom etiquette rules. Quote of the day was:
Be strong, you never know who you are inspiring.
Toastmaster of the day continued with the menu du jour:
Appetizer of the Grammarian and Timer giving their introductions
Main course serving of three delicious and delectable speeches with a side of table topics, served family style.
Dessert of evaluations and a
Nightcap of summary reports.
Word of the day, presented by Toastmaster of the day was:
gourmandize
meaning to eat good food, especially to excess.
Unfortunately Grammarian was not able to join, impromptu Grammarian for this meeting was Berni, Traci was in charge of timing speakers, impromptu speeches and evaluators.
Our three speakers for the day were:
Saurabh presenting his ice breaker “Connecting the dots.”, a speech with a chronological structure and a great title that blended perfectly with the closing quote from Steve Jobs: “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards”.
Jinendra presenting his ice breaker “The secret ingredient.” An interesting speech using remarks from popular animated martial art movie Kung-Fu Panda, with great use of humor and imagery like “unscrew your way out of jail”.
Lara presenting “What do you want to be next?” from engaging humor pathway, which was very animated and entertaining. A great example on how to deliver a fun speech with vocal variety and hand gestures from different professions like archeology, architecture and from spider-man.
Table topics master of the day Judy presented food related questions:
A childhood dish. What’s a favorite dish that you had growing up that you can think of that resonated with you in your childhood.
Your late night or 5 o’clock after work racooning, defined as going into the pantry and start digging for any snack that you can find, when you just want to eat something and you don’t know what it is.
Popular proverb says: Show me what you eat and I’ll show you who you are.
Come join us for delicious speeches and evaluations for dessert here at Seattle Sunrise Toastmasters!
