“Jackie Robinson” Meeting Recap 4/23/08
This meeting theme was UNPRECEDENTED!! Jackie Robinson just broke yet another barrier.. a PERSON can be a theme now. Next week, I propose the theme be “Eric Peterson” in honor of his Toastmaster skills this week.
Louis knocked table topics out of the park with incredibly on-topic yet fun to answer questions. As [...]

“The Big Screen” Recap 4/16/08
Extras, Extras!
Our meeting this week STARTED with a standing ovation for Stuart’s well-performed invocation. But Rey was the (really bright neon green) star of the show as Toastmaster. Or was it Maria, who dramatically acted out scenes from Titanic, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and more to introduce her table topic questions.
Brenda, a previous [...]

Time waits for no one Recap 4/9/08
Our last-minute toastmaster volunteer Louis was second to none in this timely meeting. And with just one speaker time was definitely on Sheena’s side today, waiting patiently for all nine table topic-ers to answer her questions. Eric, Gene and Carol were at the top of the hour: They went on a wild adventure from San [...]

The International Speech un-contest Recap 3/26/08
This week we didn’t have the awesome meeting we normally have, because it was BETTER than that!!! That’s because our favorite animated Italian Corky, also a past president of Capital City, was our Toastmaster! He welcomed John’s international students in his native south austin tongue: “Hey Bubba”, and charmed the lady-guests we had too. Oh, [...]

St. Patrick’s Meeting Recap 3/12/08
Green people, green shamrocks, green cookies, and green SALSA!! Take that, Ireland! We know how to do St. Patrick’s Day right here!! I’d love to take credit for it all but lucky for me… Maria, Amy and Wendy were the laboring lasses!
Even without her lucky speaking shoes, Amy rocked as table topics [...]

“Hello Goodbye” Feb 27th, 2008
Hello, hello,
Sheena’s Beatles-reminiscent theme was a hit this week, although surprisingly we never broke out into song. Okay, Lora did, but without backup.
Instead, we broke out into table topics, with Sandra introducing 5 thoughtful questions to 5 charismatic questionees. Say hello to sarcasm, I think we’ll be seeing a lot of it with Michael “It [...]

President’s Day Meeting Recap 2/20/08
Capital City Constituents:
I do solemnly swear that last week’s prezidential meeting was awwweesome, thanks to the distinguished leader Mrs. Reynetta DeVeau. Awesome, despite scandals involving neglectful grammarianism by Amy and timer flip flopping by Bert.
Table topics was a close race between Carol the not-so-benevolent dictator, Drew the presidential dictator, Raj the clear choice for 2012, [...]
