Splash - Tastic Meeting!

Singing in the Rain! Yvonne and Elaine
What a splash-tastic Toastmasters meeting!

Our Toastmaster Yvonne's theme Water made waves from  start to finish. The Word of the Day, Growth flowed  naturally throughout the meeting, while the challenge  word  Deluge kept everyone thinking.

Members shared how Toastmasters has helped them grow    through increased confidence,stronger communication,  leadership development, better listening skills,and lasting friendships.

Ali  inspired us with a speech on the value of water and    three lessons we can learn from it:adapt, reflect, and      grow.

Derek a new member took on timer role with precision!


Lenore celebrating with Diane!
Congratulations to Diane who completed Level 1! Her W.O.W. evaluation offered thoughtful and encouraging feedback that showcased the value of supportive evaluations.

Trevor shared stellar feedback on the value of videotaping speeches, encouraging us to be kind to ourselves as we watch. His simple formula: find two strengths, one area for improvement, and two more strengths

The second half was filled with learning and laughter with Marvin as Table Topics Master.  Elaine shared about her farming roots and water, and we enjoyed entertaining water-skiing stories from Darlene—including a swimsuit that didn't quite cooperate! We applauded a guest who stepped outside his comfort zone to share a story about playing in the water with a very tall friend. We finished with Emma sharing why Vancouver Island is her favorite island. Nandini offered feedback with the TAP method, recognizing what was Terrific, opportunities to Accelerate, and each speaker's unique Power

A fun, engaging meeting that reminded us all that, like water, we can adapt, reflect, and continue to grow.
