Hello Sunrise Toastmasters members,Below is a quick rewind of our meeting held on Friday Sept 12, 2014. The meeting was held at Moses Cone Memorial Hospital in a meeting room across the hall from our usual meeting room and started at 7:00 a.m.
We had a total of 14 members present at our meeting.
President Angela Ligon opened the meeting and then turned it over to Toastmaster for the morning Esther Khoury. Esther’s word of the day was “Variety”. She demonstrated for us a variety of exercises we could do with our arms and face that would help us relax when giving a speech.
Brett Williams gave our first speech of the day titled “Me,In a Nutshell” from competent communication manual (project #1 The Ice Breaker). It was a heart felt speech that covered growing up in Greensboro,NC, his journey to Wake Forest University and to Charlotte,NC, eventually making his way back to Greensboro,NC to pursue a graduate degree at UNCG.
Robert Hickling gave our second speech of the day titled “Do You Remember?”. He talked about the horrible events of September,11,2001. He talked about different events the define a generation and walked us through 60s ,70s, 80s, 90s and then talked about how 9/11 has defined his generation.
Tim Murphy started Table Topics and Mike Stipanov wrapped it up. They asked questions ranging from current events in the newspaper to what books we have read.
