316th Meeting: OktoberFest

 

 

Filcom’s 316^th Meeting

 

Filcomites gathered again with the theme Oktoberfest

Because October is the time for celebration and feast

Although there were no beers, pretzels and Bavarian outfit

The night went well with a Toastmaster of the Day to beat

 

First, Sgt-At-Arms, Viji, laid down the protocol

Followed by Dale who took up the Grammarian’s role

Then President Kit formally opened the meeting

But he forgot to ask his wife for her greeting: P

 

Jessie, the TMOD, then introduced the theme

Even the 3 segments & the role players’ game

Without further ado, the Prepared Speeches started

And wow, the 4 speakers did great & uninhibited

 

Rechell spoke about friendship as a Breathtaking Gift

And Tag’s Valuing The Moments gave our spirits a lift

Joseph shared his inspiring Toastmaster’s journey on a talk show

While Kit’s presentation on cyber security was a perfect flow

 

Noor, the Table Topics Master, taught all to walk

By inviting the confident volunteers to talk

Slowly, with their perfect answers, they ran

Impromptu Speaking turned out to be fun

 

Break for 10 minutes seemed necessary

After the 2 segments went above ordinary

Mouth-watering sandwiches and drinks on the table

Filled up our stomach and made us all able

 

After the break, Dr. Farooq took over as the General Evaluator

With speech evaluators who proved one can be a motivator

Timer, Ah Counter and Grammarian followed suit

With Table Topics observations to boot

 

Lastly, the President conducted the Business Session

Informing speaking contests & paying dues as the mission: P

Luckily  Kit didn’t forget to ask his wife for feedback

And Cathy said she enjoyed and wish to come back

 

PS.

After the group photo was taken

Some went to the bar for Heineken

HAPPY OKTOBERFEST!!!
