Have you ever been asked unexpectantly to deliver a speech? This morning, Colette shared some tips and tricks behind writing a speech in five minutes. Not only did the Toastmasters write a speech in five minutes; six of the nineteen in attendance delivered their speech. To boot, there was even breakfast served buffet style. Early Bird Ocala holds an annual workshop on "How to Write a Speech in 5 -minutes". Perhaps, YOU, will be at the next one. Caw-Caw!!
It was a week before Christmas Eve when the birdies of Early Bird Ocala Toastmasters gathered together outside the nest. This year our Christmas party was chaired by Carmen Cruz. A big thank you to Carmen for putting together a wonderfully organized party, but also a huge thank you to Mac Nicdergeses and her grandma for opening up their house for us to gather. Each Toastmaster brought a side dish and true to fashion there was more food to eat than our stomachs could endure. After dinner, we sat in a circle and played 'Sue the Santa' (exchanged gifts) and then learned a new murder mystery game brought to us by our very own Mac, Morgan, and Tyler. It was a good night!
