Farewell Brenda & Congrats!

Our beloved toastmaster member Brenda will be moving on from Morrisburg Toastmasters.

She is moving to Nova Scotia, and will be attending the Toastmasters club there.

Our theme last night was in fact "Brenda Loucks" - which was quite fun incorporating the evening around her.

Below is a photo of Brenda receiving her CC ribbon and her farewell cake!

Cheryl's Secret Life

Last meeting, Cheryl Tynksi, who is working on her Advanced Communicator Silver (ACS) presented her humourous speech called "My Secret Life"

This was by far the funniest speech we've ever seen! It was way outside Cheryl's comfort zone and she did fabulous!

In her speech she was a stunt double in the movie Flashdance and was a rapper writing a song!!! .... hence the cap and hoodie!

Even the photo is a bit blurry because I was laughing while taking the photo.


Good job Cheryl!

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Lyle Van Allen & Judy L'Heureux.

Lyle completed his Competent Communicator and Judy completed her Advanced Communicator Bronze.

We are so proud of you both!! :)

February Guests

It's always nice to see new faces visit our club in
Morrisburg so we were elated to have had a few guests visit our "Club with a Heart" in February.

I didn't take a photo of all of our guests - but I did remember to take a photo of 2 of them

We always ask our guests what they thought of the meeting - and most are extremely surprised at how fun we have! This meeting was extremely entertaining as both guests participated in Table Topics!

We had a great time and welcome them back anytime!

April 28th Meeting Update

The April 28th Morrisburg Toastmasters meeting was a fun-filled night.

Brenda was the Seargent -at -Arms. (see below)

There were 2 speakers - Lyle Van Allen and Cheryl Tynksi.

Lyle completed his project #2 in the Competent Communicator Manual. His speech made the audience aware of how easy it is to volunteer or help out the Children's Treatment Centre.

Cheryl's interactive speech on "Should we allow a Dog Park in one of Morrisburg's Parks" was from the Advanced Communicator manual. I must say - everyone had an opinion on this topic! Below is a photo of Cheryl presenting!

Next meeting May 12th, 2010 - Theme TBD.
