Rein it In or Let it Rain?


It is the new year and time to sharpen those Toastmaster skills. With Bang Parkinson as our Toastmaster we had two speeches with the aim of improving our club.

Theresa Frasch led a group discussion on building membership. Using community bulletin boards, Craigslist and blogs were some of the suggestions which came out of Theresa's discussion.

Jean Schmidt handed out copies of the Toastmaster's promise and talked about member's duties being a member.

Mike Deleon gave us three words of the day. "Rein" a verb to hold back. "Reign" a noun the rule of a leader. "Rain" a noun liquid from the sky. We had a spirited topic session talking about what should be taxed and what should be spent.


For or next meeting, check here: Schedule and Roles to see what you are assigned to do or what is still open that you can volunteer for.
