The overall theme of the meeting today was a little scary. As you can imagine the theme was Halloween with all of the members present dressed up in their work clothes. Nothing odd here but we did have one of our guests attend in costume.
We also had an uncommon word for the "word of the day". The idea is that we try to incorporate this word into our presentations. Well the word we tried to use was "minacious". Luckily we missed the opportunity to introduce ourselves and try to use this uncommon word. But I can report we didn't have minacious Table Topics session.
Table Topics allows us to practise our impromptu speaking and the questions today kept to the theme of the meeting. Three questions were asked of three members who had to put together a 2 minute response on the spot. The questions were "What was your most memorable Halloween costume", "What safety measures will you be taking tonight to protect the children that come to your door", and "What is the funniest or most entertaining movie you have ever seen?" If you were asked, how would you do?
We also had 2 excellent presentations and two great evaluations. Marloes presented a vary interesting talk about ostimates and the support group that is present in the city. Marloes shared her own experiences as a member of her family is an ostimate. Richard presented two different stories that explain how the Hanging Hearts Lakes in Prince Albert National Park were named. He left us wondering which one was fact and which one was legend. I don't think we will ever know for sure.
I hope everyone has a fun and safe All Hallows' Eve.
