Glenn Abbey Toastmasters~People Are Dying to Get In!
Demonstration Meeting August 25, 2010
The Demonstration Meeting of the proposed new group Glenn Abbey Toastmasters took place August 25, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. Glen Abbey Memorial was generous in providing the meeting room which was a fantastic 
room with a great set up. The room was a buzz of energy prior to the meeting, as everyone mingled and visitors were greeted and asked if they would like to participate in meeting roles that had not been filled.
The meeting got off to a great startwith Emily Corcoran, New Club Chair, welcoming new members, mentors and novice Toastmasters to the first meeting of Glenn Abbey Toastmasters.
Our Toastmaster was Colleen Mitchell who shared the meeting theme of "Things That Are New" in honor of the "new" Toastmasters Club! Colleen explained the roles that would be filled for "Ah/Um Counter", Grammarian and Timer. We were happy to have 2 visitors participate as the Ah Counter and Timer roles. Thanks to Steve and Lynn!
Our first speaker Stephanie Reynolds with her speech "Walking Through Fear" demonstrated what it actually takes to do just that, walk through fear! Recovering nicely, Stephanie inspired members to never be afraid to try something new.
Our second speaker Ferdonya Henderson shared a wonderful Dr. Seuss story "Horton Hears a Who" and as she stood tall, we were reminded "a person is a person, no matter how small"!
Donald Green was our Table Topics Master and did a creative mix of questions all relating to the evenings theme of "Things That Are New". From the new car smell, to a pair of new shoes, members and visitors had the opportunity to practice impromptu speaking. Congratulations to Veronica who was voted "Best 
Table Topics" speaker. What an honor for one of our visitors to receive an award on her first meeting!
Our General Evaluator Brian Catacutan introduced our speech evaluators Ed Gain and Emily Corcoran who both provided some great feedback to our speakers and gave some great advice. Brian then asked for the functionary reports from our Ah Counter, Grammarian and Timer. Brian's role as General Evaluator was to provide feedback how the meeting was run and it looks like we passed with flying colors!
To wind up our meeting, Toastmaster Colleen Mitchellthanked all of our participants welcomed back Emily Corcoran; New Club Chair and Bryan Lubic; Lt. Governor Marketing who went around the room and asked for feedback and answered any questions visitors may have on what Toastmasters and provided some great stories of what Toastmasters has done!
All in all, the meeting went off without a hitch! Thank you to all of the attendees for making the Demonstration Meeting of Glenn Abbey Toastmasters a great success! See ya Wednesday!
