Canning Vale Toastmasters celebrated it’s 4th Birthday on the 20th March 2012.
Our Toastmaster, Fiona, gave us important dates from the future – 2024 Heel Aid is patented, the first President of Mars, President Brown, is elected in 2064 and in 2020 we realise that Kevin Rudd’s commitments from his summit 13 years ago has achieved absolutely nothing.
We learned some intimate details about our Table Topics speakers thanks to Jean’s wonderful Table Topics session. Mark thinks he is an infamous supersportsman, Kieu is an outstanding woman who dresses rather “out there”, Henry is young OR not so young, Michele is the best friend you need when you need a drink and Cathy is a pretentious showbiz superstar. All dreams of grandeur when they looked at that famous framed photo in the box.
Cherry told us about her travels in the European jigsaw, Alex gave his Icebreaker speech where he had a butterfly in his hand which escaped to his stomach and Michele had us splitting our sides with laughter about her first communion. John Cecchi reminded us how much of a hoon he really is when he told us about driving a triple trailer truck (or something like that) and Kuranja gave us a quick lesson on Schizophenia and how supportive we need to be of sufferers.
Again we had many firsts – Cherry’s first time up in front of us, Alex’s first speech, Venkat giving us his first highlights, Anne on the timing lights for the first time and Cathy’s first General Evaluation.
Cathy’s clever phrases in her General Evaluation entertained us to the last minute when she commented that we had “nailed it tonight” and Jean was really “thinking outside the box” with her Table Topics.
This was all washed down with tea, coffee and our amazing birthday cake.
