We had another member making her debut as Toastmaster of the Day, who presides over the meeting. It is not unusual for members taking on this role for the first time to be prompted at least once. This was not the case. She never needed any help at all. It looked as if she had served as Toastmaster of the Day five, ten times.
In the Prepared Speech session, we listened to three speeches in including the Ice Breaker speech, the first speech any new member delivers in Toastmasters, by the newest member of our club. We had the Table Topics session in two breakout rooms to practice impromptu speeches. This is part of our effort to increase speaking slots for members. A combined nine speakers delivered their Table Topics speeches today. At the end of the meeting, we had a very important discussion to address the pressing need to increase opportunities for members. We voted favorably to decide that we extend the meeting by 10 minutes and meet additionally on the 5th Tuesday of the month. As a result, our meetings will be held from 7:30 p.m. to 9:10 p.m. on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Tuesdays.
