Toastmasters: Give Him A Hand

Hand Puppetteers Convention: Before we hear from tonight's speaker, Mr. Boo Boo, I think we should give him a hand.

Missing the first speeches.

 

Dear David, Brandon, and Valerie,

I regret missing your first speeches, and probably your 2nd speech as well. Give me some time, I'll be back.

Keep up the great work, 

~Julie

Happy Birthday Jean!

We will miss you this evening. Nobody can replace you, but we do always seem to find a way to fill in the gaps.

Toastmasters Leadership Institute is Sat. Morning!

The Toastmasters Leadership Institute is already paid for by your membership dues. It is Sat. Jan.16th from 8:30 am until 12:00pm at the Southeast Community College Continuing Education Building 301 S. 68th Street Place in Lincoln, NE. I am always pleased by the program offered and motivated to use our Toastmasters program for greater personal growth in leadership and communication. The coffee, juice, muffins, and fresh fruit have been great too.  I will see you there!

Tonight's Meeting

I'll speak to you tonight @ Anderson Library 5:45

"Now, tell us more about your fear of speaking in front of an audience."

Sucessful Presentations Begin with the Introduction

Michelle~
Thanks for introducing my speech today. It felt great to be so well introduced!
~Julie

Toastmasters.org says introductions help bring smooth transitions to our meeting. As a speaker you can write your own introduction, or leave it to the person introducing you. Either way the info conveyed to the rest of the group should include:

• Speech topic and title
• Manual and project title
• Assignment objectives
• Speaker’s personal objectives
• Delivery time

Try 30-60 seconds in length.

Happy Veteran's Day!

Happy Halloween

Toastmasters Teaches the Art of Controversy

Brief Remarks

Pausing For Laughter

Fall Conference

Notes from Jean:
Oh my goodness. The conference is just around the corner: Friday evening, October 9; Saturday all day and evening, October 10. I have my sleeping room reserved at Mahoney State Park (Thurs, Fri, and Sat). I have turned in my registration. If you turn in a full registration now or before our September 22 division contest, the cost is $60. After that the prices will escalate. You will love this conference and get a taste of a Toastmasters conference. WE will be hosting the spring conference here in Lincoln.... I will need your help on that. Of special interest to all Toastmasters: International Speech Contest Winner Jim Key will be at the conference Friday night and Saturday. You will want to be there to hear him.
I will see you all in two weeks.

Ken's Victory

I picked out a motivational poster to commerate your accomplishment.

Monday evening I went to the Area 21 and 22 speaking contests. I was proud to cheer on my father as he won the table topics contest for our area! Truely, it was one of the most creative and telling table topic answers that I have ever heard. Mark you calendars for Sept. 22nd to watch him at the division C contest. It is 7:00pm at the Madonna Rehab Center - Sheridan Rooms, 5401 South Street Lincoln, NE. This is during our regular meeting time. Next meeting we can discuss how to reconcile this time conflict.

Good Luck with Division C's contest Ken!

Table Topics: A chance to test out exactly how creative you can be with the truth. Here's to you:
