Unforgettable Mentors- June 10 Meeting

Thanks to Andy K. for his notes.

First-time Toastmaster Aswini H. did a terrific job in her role. She shared comments about mentorship and urged all members to spend time as a mentor. (Every Seattle Sunrise Toastmasters club member is assigned a mentor, which is listed on our Mentorship page on the club web site. If you haven’t been assigned one, talk to the Vice President of Education.)

·    New member Traci M. served as Grammarian, offering her word of the day, “Expounder.”

·    Isabella Z., now a veteran Timer, kept our meeting on time and on track.

·    Cara S. gave her CC Project 9 speech, “Under Pressure,” in which she expounded upon the virtues of one of her favorite cooking tools, the InstaPot

·    Julie S. gave her CC Project 8 speech, “The Running Evolution,” in which she provided a demonstration of products that she uses as part of her runners life.

Ready to run!

·    Dilip G. delivered his Ice-Breaker speech, “Me, Myself, and Id,” in which he talked about his background and what brought him to Toastmasters to courageously face his fear and loathing for public speaking.

·    Zhou B. gave his CC Project 3 speech, “Learning from the T-Shirt: How to Build a Popular Product,” in which he described the design principles that make the T-shirt one of the most versatile and popular pieces of attire.

Neat T- shirt!

·    Aleli M. was our Topics Master, bringing the question “What modern convenience do you consider a pain in the neck” as a prompt for Andy., Scott, Traci, and Lara to answer. Lara won Best Table Topics for her choice for the most painful modern device: her phone.

·    Our evaluators were Aanya L, Kiki N., Tom B., Andy K, and our General Evaluator was Neva C. 

Powerful evaluations.

·    President Tom B. swore in our newest members: Lara, Isabella, and Traci.Congratulations to them! We’re proud to have you as members of the club. 

Welcome New Sunrisers!

·    Tom also announced that on June 17 our club will nominate new club officers for our 2017-2018 Toastmasters year.  If you have any interest in serving as an officer for our Club please let Tom know as soon as possible so we can plan for an election/voting the week of our June 24 meeting.  Also, if you would like to volunteer as a part time substitute officer, which is always handy for roles like Secretary and Sergeant at Arms, please let Tom know.

Thanks for your service, Tom B!
