Jan C led us with the theme of “Procrastination”.  Unfortunately, we seemed to be very experienced with this topic and everyone could relate to the theme.  John S was prepared (as much as you can be for a procrastination meeting) as General Evaluator.  As expected, none of us were ready for the table topics from our TopicMaster,  Felicia D.

Joji P gave us speech number 7, Research Your Topic, as he presented an oxymoron when he discussed preparing raw fish in his speech “Kaiten Sushi”.  Chandler M then took the floor with speech number 9, Persuade with Power, with her speech “Ignore Marco Rubio, Remove the Cuba Embargo”.

At this Thursday’s meeting at Voyagers we all examined our Core Values as Toastmaster Amy G led the meeting with Hal S as General Evaluator.

Terry H stepped in as Topic Master at the last minute when the previously scheduled Topic Master texted that his car had broken down on the I-8.  From Mark S we found out about the meaning of Core in addition to bad puns.  Jan C described Values and how her vocabulary has expanded to include words she didn’t use before.  Natalie M shared how travel abroad can expand your core values.  Julia S was then given the assignment of telling what to do when your core values conflict with the core values of another person.  Donna G exceeded all her core values and declared that when she can’t find an expert she becomes the expert.  Indre F discussed the recent fad of improving your body’s core. And even our Toastmaster didn’t escape Table Topics as Amy G was tasked with expounding on how her core values have changed over time.
