July 8th Meeting Notes

We had a good turn out, with 10 members in attendance this week.

The word of the week is "Bon Mot." It is French for good word. For every one's reference, Word Master and Grammarian are two separate duties at Speakeasy. Larry and Gordon settled that.

Eric Fager served as Toastmaster.

Jim MacDonald used Bartlett's Familiar Quotations as the basis for a challenging round of Table Topics.

Melony Fender gave an impromptu speech about the Sci-Fi convention she attended, over the holiday weekend. Convergence is Imminent. It is established sonic screw drivers should be used, and not kept in there original packing for the 2109 antiques road show.

Kara Johnson talked to us about the Distinguished Club Plan. Hopefully this information will motivate us to score as many points as we can.

Best Joke was provided by Jim MacDonald.
Best Table Topic was given by Melanie Fender
Best Speaker was Kara Johnson
Best Evaluator was Gene Welch.

There where no guests this week to give us feedback on the meeting. The member discussion was about the length of the meeting. Our meetings are scheduled from 6:00 to 8:00, and we have the room from 5:30 to 8:30. Kara suggested we could exempt the Toastmaster and
scheduled speakers from participating in Table Topics.
