Candy Land

What a magical place we visited today.  Rathan transported us to the magical, Candy Land.  In his second presentation to the club, he told us of a little girl who loved to eat candy but was troubled with all her visits to the dentist.  You see, she didn't like brushing her teeth.  During a dream, this little girl woke up in a magical land where everything was made from candy.  While she was indulging on the abundance of sweets, she noticed the walls of her bedroom were being destroyed by monsters.  Monsters she could not destroy.  In a panic she awoke and realised she must start brushing her teeth or they will be consumed by the monsters.  What a great story with a moral.

We had two other presentations today.  One was demonstrating how to accept an award.  Julia did an excellent job in accepting an award graciously and humbly.  She also recognised the other individuals that worked behind the scenes on the project she was being recognised for.  Our last presentation was a description and practical advise on how to overcome conflict.  Jane presented many techniques so the outcome of the conflict will be a win-win situation.  We all learnt something.

Karen and Jeremy

You might remember a few weeks ago we had an on-line scavenger hunt.  The purpose of the hunt was to get the club members familiar with the features of our new club website.  Well we had three BIG prizes with 3 winners.  We had previously presented one of the winners, Jane, with one of the prizes.  Unfortunately the other two winners haven't been to a meeting, except today.  Jeremy is seen here accepting his BIG prize from Karen, our VP-Public Relations.  Congratulations Jeremy.  You will have to stay tune to find out who our final winner is.  Rumour has it that this last BIG prize will be awarded next week.  Why not stop in for a visit and see who it is.

One last thing I must mention before closing.  That is the work recently completed by our Secretary.  While on leave from her day job, Melisa has been compiling questions that will help explain what Toastmasters is all about.  There are quite a number of questions and if I have piqued your interest in Toastmasters, why not head over to our "Frequently Asked Questions" page and get your questions answered.  If you have a question about Toastmasters that isn't listed on our page, there is a link available to you can ask us.
