Being a Toastmater

Yesterday I donned the hat of Toastmaster again and it was another good learning experience. The theme was Veterans day. I loved this part because it encourages you to look at the topic you never focused your attention before. Kyriakos did a great job being a Table Topics master. He asked pertinent and thought provoking questions. It was great to have three people who had served in Armed Forces at different times. Kyriakos asked Jay about his views on mandatory draft. He asked Joe about the sanctity of having two holidays honoring armed forces (Vetrans day and memorial day). I picked the question of why other people are not celebrated as armed forces and Kelly answered the question of how you will celebrate Vetrans Day. Joe's animated speech on "Save the Children" was invigorating. He really believed what he said and he said that with so much passion that you have to agree with him and Kelly's feedback was well crafted.
