Hello from New Orleans Club!

posted by LSF Guest, Premium MembershipMonday, January 25th 2010 @ 11:16 PM

Here's a quick rundown of the usual agenda for our meetings:

  • President's opening remarks
  • Toastmaster introduces the theme of the meeting
  • General Evaluator introduces evaluation team (Ballot Counter, Grammarian, Ah Counter, Timer - all stand and give a quick description of their responsibilities for the evening), and may name the speakers and evaluators.
  • Toastmaster talks more about the theme
  • Table Topics Master runs a table topics session, calling on 5-7 people (usually those without other responsibilities/jobs for the meeting)
  • Speakers give their speeches. Usually no more than three speakers in one meeting, speeches usually in the 5-7 minute range.
  • Evaluators evaluate the speeches, 2-3 minutes each.
  • General Evaluator calls on the evaluation team to give their reports, and gives an overall evaluation of the meeting.
  • Toastmaster's closing remarks.
  • President names the winning speaker, evaluator and table topics speaker and hands out ribbons.
  • Storymaster closes it out with an amusing story.

That's pretty much it. Anything your club does differently? I dropped in on another club recently and saw that they have an Inspiration Master for every meeting, and that person delivers an inspiring story. I thought that was a good idea.
