Theme: Building a Team

Let’s share the gorgeous instant comment from our General Evaluator of the meeting: Herbert Lee.

Because we’re running a little overtime-
I’ll try to shorten this evaluation rhyme.
Tonight this was certainly the place to be-
We started the meeting exactly at 7:03.
Our Toastmaster helped to set the tone
And reminded us all to switch off our phone.
Sonia helped to make the meeting really flow
And made guests feel like friends we just didn’t know.
Jane came up and spoke on tonight’s theme
And gave us ideas on how to build a team.
Toastmaster Sonia really fulfilled her role;
By introducing the speakers and filling in every hole.
We need to congratulate Rosa on her project ten – well done!
To do ten projects in a year – she’s our example – number one!
It was wonderful to see Rosa go from someone who was so full of fear
To someone who has become fluent, articulate and clear.
Sara inspired us all to have just one more look
And get a new understanding of the value of a book.
She inspired us all to look beyond our life
And help others to overcome their strife.
Americo painted us a story of a king and all his glory
And gave us a glimpse of some royal history.
The King’s Speech should inspire all of us to speak -
Because today’s world does not belong to the lowly and meek.
Milly‘s evaluation summarized Rosa’s experience and views
And reflected to the audience things we could use
Her advice to consolidate her points to a WORD-
Would make us all remember what all had heard.
Scarlet was forced at the beginning to amend
And retract the word customer with that of “a friend.”
Her advice to Sara was to modify her voice
Very sound advice – and an excellent choice.
Lena‘s comments were clear, concise and complete
She evaluated the speech without missing a beat.
The advice about visual aids is useful for all-
Don’t rely on them or prepare for a fall.
Ann had a great idea to let table topics follow our theme
And let us work in groups and speak as a team.
Something new is always a welcome change
It stretches our minds and increases our range.
Our facilitators did their jobs to a tee
The meeting went well – it’s easy to see.
Tonight was an excellent example of how a meeting that runs well;
Keeps us immersed – yet learning – like we were caught in a spell.
Overall our meeting went very well
So I have no further points to dwell
I hope the guests enjoyed tonight’s �toon
We hope you’ll come again real soon!

Let’s see those vivid photos of the meeting…
