Meet & Greet

Opening

The Sergeant-at-Arms shares the Club Mission Statement and welcomes visiting guests. He or she then calls the meeting to order, introducing and ceding control to the Toastmaster-of-the-Day.

The Toastmaster introduces the members of the Evaluation team: Wizard of Ahs (Ah Counter), Cleric of Rhetoric (Grammarian), Sorcerer of Time (Timer), and Scribe.

Prepared Speeches

It's the beginning of a new Toastmasters year, and thus of a new campaign. But we are still waiting, eagerly, for Andrew to publish all the details. As we wait, David will rework an old stump speech, to see if it's still relevant and relevant to our multi national club.

Ask yourself, how do you consume mass media - and does such consumption influence only you - or does it have a wider influence.

The Harrengon campaign has ended, and the heroes have won. But one "hero" isn't very happy, as he feels he could have cost the group the victory. Khroton Sharphorn explains both his lapse during battle and his dangerous behavior of only a week earler.

Successful entrepenuer, family man, beloved member of his Dwarven clan, fabled adventuerer . . . Zax is none of those things. (Note to TMOD: Zax interrupts you here: "That's not my introduction! You weren't supposed to tell them that. It's the first draft of my memoir, The Long and Winding Road, which I am rewriting.") Please welcome Zax as he introduces himself to you and describes the journey that led him to stand before you tonight.

1-3 speakers deliver prepared speeches, each of which is generally 5-7 minutes in length.
