Recap for Nov 6, 2013

By Clem D

Rene was our Toastmaster and he spoke on “breathing and relaxing”.

Newly inducted member Jacqueline, took the reigns as our General Evaluator and she did an excellent job.

Mitch presented his “Ice-Breaker” speech in which he spoke about events in his life [school, family, career] that has helped shape him into the man he is today. Well done.

Michael spoke about his physical and psychological experiences in the Austrian Army and his adventure in an army truck loaded with live ammunition. You will be missed as you travel back to Austria.

Congrats to Wayne as he completed is Competent Communication manual by presenting speech number ten.  He brought to light that Canadian Soldiers risk their lives in various wars because, if Canada was not a free country, wouldn’t we want someone to fight for us?

John Krissilas conducted a workshop on the art of Table Topics, why we have it, how to conduct one and how to gain confidence when speaking. Very well done and timely needed.

We welcomed five guests and look forward to seeing them again in the near future.

Until next time. Nov 13, 2013
