Meeting January 16th, 2013

This week, Andy was our Toastmaster and one of our speakers. This allowed Andy to recapitulate points from his own speech during the rest of the meeting.

The theme for the week, "What New Year's Resolutions?", rang true to the speeches. Sometimes, everything comes together under the theme of the day, and this was one of those times.

Larissa spoke from the Competent Communicator manual project Getting Comfortable with Visual aids. In her speech, entitled "A Walk to Emmaus", she talked about how she found direction in her faith through a retreat and eventually was able to give back in the same way. 

Gary evaluates Larissa's speech. 

Andy's had his speech topic picked out before he even saw the theme of the day, but it fit right in. Entitled, "Resolution, Schmeshalution", Andy inspired us to think about how we can make ourselves accountable to the resolutions we make.
