Tri County Toastmasters Meet
Current Club President Ron Grimes (right) performed a roast of past club president Les Apps at Thursday’s Tri-County Toastmasters meeting. Grimes is currently working from the ‘specialty speeches’ advanced manual.
The Tri-County Toastmasters club met on Thursday 2-2-06 at the Virden Area Community Center. Club members present at Thursday’s meeting were: Les Apps, Dr. Todd Austin, Jim Blankenship from New Berlin, Rev. Ron Grimes, Liz Mollett, Alan Saeger and Billy Watkins.
Billy Watkins served as the Toastmaster (or master of ceremonies) of thursday’s meeting. Todd Austin conducted the impromptu speaking (or table topics) portion of the program. Participants gave one to two minute responses to various questions.
The evening’s prepared speaker was Ron Grimes. His talk was a humorous ‘roast’ of fellow Toastmaster member and past club president Les Apps. Grimes’ rather entertaining roast was evaluated by New Berlin's Jim Blankenship.
The Toastmasters club will next meet on Thursday February 16, 2006 at 6:30 p.m. at the Community Center at 105 West Jackson Street in Virden. The scheduled speaker for next meeting is Jackie Rakers.
