From Tom Alvord, Club President:
What a meeting!
Last night was such a thrill to be part of Middlesex County Toastmasters!
It was "just a regular meeting", but full of pleasant surprises and excellent speakers!
Two days ago, we had just one speaker and few other meeting roles spoken for. This was due in part to the fact the our VPE Rob Schaff had been inactive for two weeks due to family matters. Rob has been the driving force behind full rosters at meetings since last summer.
But then things started to roll…
- Arun signed on as Toastmaster.
- Rob signed up to speak
- At the same moment Tom signed up to give a last minute speech because he felt guilty for not having "minded the gap" in Rob's absence.
- The roster began to fill up, but we still had no Table Topics Master nor General Evaluator.
Then at the meeting itself …
- Nancy volunteered for Table Topics Master and gave us all a big lift by having each speaker talk to Mrs. Smith - CEO on an elevator ride.
- John, our 20-year member, volunteered to be the 4th speaker and delivered a wonderful speech he'd thought about for only one day – and convinced us that politics isn't such a dirty word after all (well, some of us anyway).
- New member Eric read to us the Club Mission,
- Sreeni delivered a last-minute invocation
- New member Kay served as our excellent Ah Counter
- Still fairly new member Jeff introduced us to the word "voluble" and kept our grammar on track.
- Erik’s wife Jamie attended as a guest, and joined our Club on the spot!
Minyan, a walk-in guest, enjoyed the meeting so much he agreed to be Ah- Counter at our next meeting May 8th.
- Meshva's speech showed how important it was to move back here all the way from Houston to be with our Club. She even said she'd visited three other clubs and decided she preferred Middlesex!
- Cheryl had a rare night off from speaking but served in her typical elegant style as Evaluator
- Rob announced that Cheryl has earned the Triple Crown by completing her CC, OCL, and ACB. Congratulations Cheryl!
- Toastmaster Arun stepped in to double as GE, capping off this exciting meeting.
It was hard to get to sleep but it was worth every second spent at MIDDLESEX TOASTMASTERS CLUB 8340 Middletown Connecticut!
See you May 8th!
