Today’s meeting was different because we had one speaker, and extended table topics. Our Toastmaster, Ashley Jones, gave the audience random questions and people were randomly called to talk about the topic from 4 to 5 minutes. This was great training in impromptu speaking and is valuable to to speakers who are put on the spot. Elaine Chancellor facilitated the table topic session as the “Master”.
Our speaker was Elaine Chancellor, who gave us a great background on country music and its history (CC#7). Her evaluator was Michelle DeVore.
The table topics speakers were:
