9/18/08 Meeting
Auburn's Liz Mollett delivered an informative presentation about the Hangzhou Bridge called “Made in China” at Thursday’s Tri-County Toastmasters meeting.
The Tri-County Toastmasters club met on Thursday 9-18-08 at the Virden Area Community Center. Club members present at Thursday’s meeting were: Les Apps from Girard, Dr. Todd Austin from Virden, Jim Blankenship from New Berlin, Liz Mollett from Auburn, Casey Tom and Bill Watkins.
Jim Blankenship served as the meeting’s Toastmaster (master of ceremonies). Billy Watkins conducted a Tabletopics (the impromptu speaking portion of the program) session with no fixed theme. Each participant then gave a 1 to 2 minute impromptu response to a different question.
The evening’s prepared speaker was Liz Mollett. Her speech was the seventh project out of ten projects in the Toastmasters Basic Communication manual, which is about ‘researching your topic’. Mollett’s informative presentation entitled “Made In China” was about the Hangzhou Bridge and the state-of-the-art architecture and technology that went into building the structure. Les Apps evaluated her speech.
