Our meeting this week was sparse on people but we still managed to conduct a fun and education session.
The interesting part of todays schedule was, there was no schedule. All the attendees drew their role from a hat, so we all needed to be as prepared as possible. We didn't know what role we could be presented with. This turned out to be a lot of fun and thanks must go to our Vice President of Education, Melissa for her innovative means of scheduling.
Mark presented his third prepared speech that dealt with him not wanting to loose his right to vote. His speech topic was well suited as the theme of the meeting was Remembrance Day. We also had an interesting Table Topics session. With only one prepared speech we had lots of time. With this extra time, everyone was asked to pick an object out of a hat and explain why it was the most important thing they owned. It was apparent that some didn't have any idea what they were describing, but the story they came up with was interesting, none the less.
We also learned that Toastmasters in the city are holding a Boot Camp. This is an excellent learning opportunity for new as well as experienced Toastmasters. It will enable all to come away with a road map that will guide them through all the Toastmasters programs so they can attain their communication and leadership goals.
Toastmasters is a great place to learn, grow and develop your skills. Why not stop in for a visit and see what we are all about. If you can't make one of our meeting, Wednesday ant noon, copy the following link into your browser:

There are twenty five clubs that meet in Saskatoon. I am sure at least one will fit into your schedule.
