Wavecrest Toastmasters

Last night our Toastmaster Esther led the meeting with a theme all about HOPE.

Imogen an Entertaining Speech, Sandra in Table Topics found out about the hope of how we would survive in Disasters, and Barbara and Kathryn both gave excellent Evaluations.

Hope is ... a Poem, by Imogen.

A twinkling star, a shape in the cloud,
A flower in bloom, or autumn leaves dancing in the wind,
It is a purring cat, a book to read, a crackling fire,
And all those small joys in life that remind us that
Life
Is
Worth
Living

Last night Wavecrest had a meeting all about Sunshine. Both the theme, and the atmosphere; where it warm, and Brilliant.

Sandra gave an excellent Speech , Barbara led a fun Table Topics session, and everyone learned something in the Evaluation session.

Thank-You to the fantastic guest Sue from Dunedin Toastmasters for attending.
