I heard this word at the end of a talk on public speaking, and I had to look it up because I might have heard it, or some version of it, but the context seemed unfamiliar to me.

It’s right at the end of this video:

Musical Style:
Geotic's music incorporates elements like field recordings, pianos, guitars, light distortion, and occasional vocals and beats, creating a warm, relaxed, and reflective sound

As someone who is surrounded by a constant din of activity (both outside and in my mind…) “Geotic” a word that stands out in a way to identify something that does not stand out.

Just an update for everyone whose ears perked up at the plans for a demo meeting to restart the club.

The schedules being pushed while we find the best location.

New date to plan for will be in January, stay tuned for more updates 🙂

So an update for everyone, we’re having a meeting to restart the club starting November 28 with a new downtown vancouver location.

Come back for updates as the plan comes together.

Happy October PMI toastmasters and followers of this page.

I know we’ve been quiet on the page for quite some time, and after a particularly challenging couple years we are seeking a physical location to resume in-person meetings and to move out of the ZoomSpace.

Our previous meeting space in an office in central Burnaby will remain unavailable for the immediate future and we are hunting for a new meeting space to resume in-person meetings.

If anyone seeing this post is aware of, or has access to a meeting space in your office that would be appropriate we are very interested in hearing from you.

Ideal location for our meetings includes:
- chairs for seating (theatre style) for a group of 10 to 30 people. (Lunch rooms, meeting rooms, theatres)
-access to internet via wifi as we have members would would intend to attend meetings in a Hybrid format.
-Tables would be nice, but not required.

If available a presentation screen or TV in the space would also be ideal.

If anyone knows of a space in the Burnaby area that would be available Monday evenings please reach out, and let us know we would like to talk to you.

HELLO PMI Vancouver Toastmasters,

Our next meeting is a test to experiment how we as a club can execute a Hybrid Toastmasters meeting in PMI way.

The speaking spaces for this meeting have been filled,
We have need of the following roles which can be filled by members online, or in-person:

Table Topics and Speech Evaluation
FEATURE PRESENTATION Details:
Markus Van Aardt who is affiliated with Ryerson University as a Communication Skills Instructor in the Raymond G Chang business school will be presenting a 15 minute presentation called "Relationship building through compelling conversations”. This presentation should provide some valuable opportunities for discussion to help us thrive as a club came to help our members grow.

I will open the Zoom room early so members can chat before the meeting starts. The meeting should start promptly at 7:10 pm.

IN-PERSON MEETING DETAILS.
IMPORTANT!!
For the in-person portion of the meeting we will be following the current guidelines for health and safety as directed by the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control (CDC) requirements for social distancing, masks, and vaccine status for public events.

- Mask’s are required
- Must be fully vaccinated (2 Doses) mandatory
- Vaccination Card & Photo ID mandatory
- Temperature check mandatory

All attendee’s for this meeting will be required to fill in a self assessment form and provide basic contact information for contact tracing in the unlikely event a Covid19 outbreak occurs.

I know this seems a little over the top for a simple Toastmaster’s meeting, but this is the new norm going forward.

Detailed directions to the In-Person Meeting Space will be provided with the eventbrite confirmation email, as well as the Zoom Meeting ID and meeting access link for the online meeting.

We look forward to welcoming the club back into a physical space, and are excited to work to bring the Hybrid experience to the next level!!

I hope to see you all in a weeks time,
