Club President Hideo opened the meeting with his always-glowing enthusiasm and warmth. Special thanks, again, to TM Tomoko for hosting the meeting in her home. We appreciate you! The next meeting, 04.03.21, will be held at our usual meeting place. Can I get an "Amen!"?
TMOD Miwa took control and led us through this first regular meeting in a few months without a hitch. That means, no problems. Zoom meetings and contest practices have dominated the past few months. It was good having a regular meeting again!
Word of the Day from TM Carol was "FOCUS". Probably because she needs to do that!
Joke Master was TM Tomoko. The joke was told in Japanese, which this blogger is still studying, but from the sound of all the laughter, it was very funny!
We had 3 prepared speeches today. Leading off was TM Miho. First, welcome back! It was good to see you again! Thank you for sharing!
TM Yoko's experience in speech preparation is a shining example of how it's done! She makes it look so easy. Well done!
Our 3rd speaker was TM Hideo. "The Power of Communication" and how emotions can affect our communication. Very insightful!
TM Ayako tackled Table Topics. She certainly knows how to kick our brains into gear!
Our General Evaluator was TM Marina. She had many observations to share from start to finish. Thank you!
Awards time! And the winners are:
Best Table Topics: TM Tomoko
Best Speaker: TM Yoko
Best Evaluator: TM Hiromi
That's a wrap for this blog. See you at the next meeting!
