Earth Day
The Prairie Schooners Toastmasters Club's weekly meeting was
held on the 7th floor this week. The room was spacious and we rapidly made
ourselves at home. We forewent the usual Toastmasters paraphernalia which offered
us practice for managing impromptu situations. Melissa - our Chairman then decided
to run the meeting from the back of the room - everyone laughed and went along
with her arrangements.
The theme of the meeting was Earth Day and of interest was
how important this theme was to everyone. Most members felt that we were not
doing enough recycling to look after the planet for future generations!
We had two great speeches, Shuqing spoke about her Chinese
outfit that no longer allowed her to laugh without popping a button! And then discussed the benefits of dropping a few pounds. Rathan spoke about the importance of
practice and the nightmares incurred when you do not practice!
Impromptu speeches were centered on recycling and reducing
ones carbon footprint - Questions holding us accountable to planet earth. Good
questions, strong responses and plenty of growth and fun was had by all.
