Valentine's Day


Toastmaster Betty McCallister led the Valentine theme with history and other intriguing information.  Don Groff gave a double dose of laughter with his joke duo.  Word master Jeanne Resen presented "relationship" as the word of the day.  Melinda served faithfully as Sergeant at Arms and Susann opened and closed as President.

Our featured speaker of the day was Hoyt Griffith.  "A Matter of Time" spoke of Hoyt's fascination with his luxury watch, an Apple that tempted his indulgence with its changing watch face, animation, GPS, internet access, wind speed, maps, 911 notification, and another 40 or so features.  Undoubtedly, "Reading your Mind" was the ultimate element of Hoyt's watchfulness.  Susann Swan was Hoyt's evaluator.

Judy Groff was table topics master in reinforcing the Valentine theme.  She included some references to what she gleaned from the current  Toastmaster Magazine .  The five love languages of Gary Chapman's 1992 book was what the magazine highlighted:  Affirmation, Acts of Service, Quality Time, Gifts, and Touch.  The magazine writer said these ways of communication are what Toastmasters are known to incorporate.  Prompt responders were the following:  Danielle, Grant, Wendy, Stan, Josh, Melinda, and Carole.




The Eyes and Ears Team members gave their reports:  Molly Garnett as Ah Counter and Grammarian; Ray Daley as Timer.  Sally Jones was the GE and TT Evaluator.

Those attending were the following:  Stan Coss,  Ray Daley,  Molly Garnett, Josh Gravley, Hoyt Griffith, Don Groff, Judy Groff, Sally Jones, Carole Kitchen, Melinda Lowrance, Betty McCallister, Danielle Messer,  Jeanne Resen,  Susann Swan, and Wendy Whitaker.  A special guest was Blanca Sanchez.  Guest Grant Guffy became a member on Friday.
