Guests are more than welcome.
A huge shoutout to the energetic crowd attending our meeting on 23rd March! We were 12 members and 4 guests, including Janosch who was visiting from Wiesbaden Toastmasters. Participants dialed in from at least six different countries – from the USA and Brazil, to Luxembourg, Germany and Romania, over to Taiwan. We deeply admire our member Iara’s commitment! She pulled an all-nighter to join us.
As Toastmaster of the Evening, Jasmin introduced the thought-provoking theme – Grit or Quit, and guided us smoothly through the session.
With her speech titled Is sleep a superpower?, Susana made us reflect on our sleeping habits and the potential we might be wasting. Who knows, maybe we could keep up with our Superheros if we had more and better sleep?
As a second speaker, Russell invited Marianna Pascal onto the virtual stage and presented the video of the Humorous Speech Contest 2009. Her speech with the title Local English or Standard English was fun to watch and had quite a unique charm.
Daniel G. was a lovely Table Topics Master and engaged members and guests with some brilliant questions.
Anna once again gave a fantastic evaluation for Susana’s speech and seized the opportunity to practice for the division contest. Russell facilitated a panel evaluation for the recorded speech – a great way to make us learn and include everyone.
Willy served as Ah Counter, Daniel L. jumped in as Timekeeper, and Andreea, who provided the Word of the Day Helplessness, was a very helpful Grammarian. Our General Evaluator Jonas delivered compliments for the overall meeting as well as some very useful suggestions for improvement.
Thanks to everyone who took part in our Famous meeting for making this gathering special!
