Toastmasters Welcome Humorous Speaker
Tri-County Club Vice President Todd Austin (right) welcomed special guest humorous speaker Margaret Walker at Thursday’s meeting. Margaret’s humorous speech was called “Daddy Gave Me Permission to Date”.
The Tri-County Toastmasters club met on 10-1-09 at the Virden Area Community Center. Dr. Todd Austin from Virden was the evening’s Toastmaster (or master of ceremonies). Jim Blankenship served as the Tabletopicmaster, who coordinated the impromptu speaking portion of the program. During tabletopics, each participant gave a 1 to 2 minute unrehearsed response to a potpourri of questions.
The evening’s prepared speaker was special guest Margaret Walker. Margaret, a member of Springfield’s Capital City Toastmasters Club which meets at IDOT, gave a humorous speech called “Daddy Gave Me Permission to Date”. This is the speech that she will be giving during the Toastmasters Area 1 Humorous Speech Contest on 10-10-09 in Springfield. Another special guest, Toastmasters Area 1 Governor Joann York evaluated Walker’s humorous presentation.
