Each meeting held by Preston Persuaders Toastmasters club (PPTM) is unique and has a distinctive “flavor”. Last Monday’s meeting was run with the timely precision that the PPTM club is famous for. The General evaluator for the day Ravi Meganathan stepped up to the podium one minute shy of the time that the program stipulated.

The invocation of our meeting was given by Wen Kuo, and he used a $20 bill to remind us that our value is not dependent on where we have been and what we have been through. Our Toastmaster for the day Lekshmi reminded us why she chose "Multi Cuisine" as the theme of the day and waxed eloquently on her international cooking adventures.

Summer Pool Party

by |

This week Preston Persuaders held rather a fun and entertaining yet still productive and rewarding meeting.The meeting was not held at the usual place, but to add some summer thrill, was held in member, Emily's house. The meeting was a potluck event where every member brought unique food to the meeting all while swimming and "beaching it up". So was it all just fun and games or did Preston Persuaders conduct their meeting as usual? The answer is that we decided to do something a bit different! We created a sandwich event. DTM, Ed Meissner, Toastmaster of the day, created a debate set up! About six members split into two teams and planned their debate for cats v.s. dogs. While the groups planned their debate, the rest of the members did guess what? Table Topics!! With a variety of questions provided by Ed, every member had a chance to speak! After the debate took place, we had time for more! Another debate of soups v.s. salads took place while table topics yet again stole the spotlight while the debate was planned. After the second debate took place we placed importance on announcements and new business. Afterwards...we ate some more and celebrated July birthdays!! Overall, it was a fabulous evening that provided an enchanting experience of extemporaneous speaking (table topics & debates) opportunities all while enjoying nice food and friends.
