Bellicose Content but Benevolent Delivery
Sally Jones led our meeting from the lectern as Co-Toastmasters of the day. Stanley Yurth was Co-Toastmaster from his seat but led in revolutionary fashion by creating a special template for the agenda. He made this available to all members in Google Docs. Our Eyes and Ears team were as follows: Melinda Lowrance as Ah Counter, Brad Dienst as Grammarian, Don Groff as Timer, and Ron Climer as Word Master. Sally and Stanley included the descriptions of their roles on the agenda which was helpful for our guests. Our guests included Bernie Fox, Beth Cohen, Diane Emon, and Julia. Ron introduced our Word of the Day, bellicose, which he defined as an adjective that means demonstrating aggression. "Bellicose" was used abundantly throughout the meeting. He filled in as joke master to kick off our meeting with an impromptu joke about St. Peter and The Pearly Gates. We had two speakers today. Our first speaker was Melissa English who's project was called How to Say
