CELEBRATE! CELEBRATE! CELEBRATE! Open House at The Knowledge Club Toastmasters
It was absolutely a PHENOMENAL meeting yesterday, SHOUT-OUTS to our maestro KG. our Digital Photographer Shafik and our Food Coordinator Tonie doing a superb job at having all guests and members taken care in a hospitable way! Hopefully everyone was intrigued by our Area 34 Governor-Judi's speech, she's a true entertainer.

As our TM Year continues to wind-down we will have MANY special events coming. For those who are 1/2 or 3/4's of the way from finishing their CC or Advanced Manuals, Finish this Year Strong! Myself and other officers will be contacting certain members soon to give you the PUSH that you need to finish and contribute to our final DCP Goals. We know you can DO IT, just commit. This week we will have our TKC Game Night Social and so far we have chess, Scrabble, Connect Four and a few other board-games (if you have other fun games please email me to let me know what you're bringing). If we have any Spades, Uno or other card players, feel free to bring a deck or two.

Table Topics at The Knowledge Club Toastmasters of Marietta, GA
Have
you ever been asked for your opinion about something, only to have your
mind go blank? Have you given your opinion, but it was so disorganized
that the point you were trying to make was lost?
The ability to "think and speak on your feet" is an important skill that often determines your success in job interviews, for example. All kinds of careers and occupations require this skill.
That's why the "Table Topics" portion of the Toastmasters club meeting was developed. Table Topics provides you with the opportunity to practice impromptu speaking.. By answering brief Table Topics questions, you learn how to present your thoughts clearly and convincingly, with no more than a few seconds of preparation. You also learn to listen constructively, and to think flexibly.
The Table Topics portion of a Toastmasters meeting takes place before or after the formal "prepared speeches" segment and usually lasts 20 or 30 minutes. The Topicsmaster announces a topic or question and calls on several members, one at a time, who give impromptu one- to-two-minute responses to that topic.
When you're called (or volunteer) to speak during Table Topics, you'll do well if you keep your remarks brief and to the point. (This is often easier said than done, however!) Try to present sensible, worthwhile ideas that add to the knowledge of others and organize your thoughts into a mini-speech. You're encouraged to refute or elaborate on ideas and information already presented by other participants.

2010 Evaluation and Humorous Speech contest
It's that time again... Do you have a knack for listening attentively and giving valuable feedback? Do you really know how to tickle someone's funny bone? If one or both of these descriptions fits you then you should consider participating in the 2010 Evaluation and Humorous Speech contest.
Our club contest will be held during one of our upcoming regularly scheduled team meetings (date TBD). Please let me know if you are interested in participating in one or both of these challenging yet rewarding opportunities. --
