An "Eerie" Toastmaster meeting

​

WORD OF THE DAY: "EERIE"

USED IN A SENTENCE: "It was a dark and eerie, Tuesday night when the ghost was spotted in the boardroom of the YMCA." (it was probably just me looking pale before my speech).

SPEAKING TIP: Vary your hand gestures to help illustrate your talking points.

It's difficult to concentrate on anything before you go up for a speech.

Tuesday was one of those days. I, along with fellow member Terri, both had speeches this past Tuesday and we were quite relieved to see that it was a small crowd consisting of all members and one guest. So small that I made the announcement to remove two of our five tables, they're big tables! Kinda.

Wilson, aka Mr. Quantum Fantasy (which I still don't get), lead us as the Toastmaster of the evening, giving us these cool Hawaiian lays (which I still don't get either).

​But...it's Halloween?

Ah, but Mr. Quantum Fantasy had a trick up his sleeve. He began by asking us what kind of dream we had. Then lead us in a group conversation about how we can divide up one million dollars. THEN said something the along the lines of, you are forever trapped in the eternal abyss...okay I need to write this stuff down.

It was some kind of eerie remark. (man, I'm on a roll).

 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
​

Speeches consisted of Terri's awesome [2nd] presentation (second speech) on her passion about Museums. And Jon's (my) strange speech/performance with Erratic Assassin, my asshole of an alter-ego.

​

Then our very own Linda lead us into a table topics session with a story telling format that kept everyone on their toes! A haunted house about...(I forgot since it was a few days ago, but I know that Alex was Lorna's scared Knight in "shining armor", HA!).

Fun meeting this past Tuesday.

Shout out to our special guest, Dee!
