Contest! Contest! – 02/24/10 Meeting Recap
No one does a contest like Capital City Toastmasters. We had a well attended and well conducted meeting that featured some fantastic competition by new and old Toastmasters. Is anyone surprised? With Amy as chair, Corky as Toastmaster, and Rey as Chief Judge, could anything go wrong? Nope. Not a chance. First up was the [...]

“Those Crazy Things We Do” Meeting Recap – 01/13/10
Today’s meeting began with a consensus among the ladies that the men of Capital City looked extraordinarily handsome. Suits, ties, jackets, slacks. Wow. Many thanks to Brian, Robin, Brad, and Albert, to name a few, for livening things up a bit for us. Feel free to maintain that dress code going forward. Amy – Miss [...]

“Blind Dates” Meeting Recap – 11/04/09
Rey started off the meeting describing the blind date she went on with a gay married man– tough to get lucky with that setup. Actually, she’d have had better luck with the guy’s wife, who turns out is also gay. The meeting was pretty much a disappointment after this high point. No! It was [...]

“Unfair!” Meeting Recap – 10/6/09
It was unfair that Rey was off gallivanting, leaving me to open and close the meeting. It was unfair that Patrick, just because he was toastmaster, got to totally mess things up from our usual protocol. Force the timer to introduce the grammarian role, and the grammarian to introduce the timer role? Ridiculous. Allow the [...]

“Superheroes and Villians” Meeting Recap – 07/29/09
It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s Joyous Fergie! Joyous Fergie came to the rescue in a big way. She’s a new superhero and, as a first time Toastmaster, she trampled all enemies and stood victorious. And we discovered that her greatest superhero talent is being able to function as a Toastmaster without using any [...]

“Fathers” Meeting Recap – 06/24/09
“Give me one more pullup!” That’s what Brian’s dad said to him to teach him to literally pull the best up out of himself. He learned that even when his arms are tired, and he thinks he’s finished, he still has one more pullup left in him. Dads teach us quite a lot, don’t they? [...]

“Summer Vacation” Meeting Recap – 06/17/09
Summertime, and the living is easy. With Susana as Toastmaster, we coasted through some sun, fun, and partying. First, we celebrated Lee’s new job, which he credited to his fine abilities at Table Topics. Then Louis as Table Topics Master took us on a stroll through vacation packages, vacation problems, and our final days of life. Brad [...]
