Quay Speakers
I really enjoyed my visit to Quay Speakers a couple weeks ago. Year after year Quay Speakers ranks as 1 of the highest scores for DCP points in the Division. Their meetings are very well organized and the members are all keen on moving forward with their educational goals.
An interesting element that Quay Speakers have at the beginning of their meeting is the Membership Chair (or another assigned person) shares who is absent at this particular meeting and why they are absent. I loved that! It really showed that people cared if you were not there and that Club members want to know if you were OK.
Stop in and visit Quay Speakers at the Lonsdale Quay on Tuesday nights!

Visit to Calgary
While in Cowtown last week I took an hour and a half out of my other duties to visit a Toastmasters Club - Miracles Toastmasters.
An interesting element that they have in their meetings is an "Outvocator". They start with and Invocation and end with an Outvocation. I really enjoyed going home with another little piece of inspiration to tide me over for the week.
Another component that I particularly liked about their meeting (besides the amazing members) was they scheduled in 15-30 seconds per person at the beginning of the meeting to introduce themselves and answer 1 question. The question that was asked the week I was there was - What was your favorite thing to do as a child. As I grew up in Calgary it was a timely question for me.
Marlene, Lera and Bob where especially welcoming to me and I really appreciated their friendliness and hospitality. If you are in Calgary stop by on Wednesday night and say "Hi."

Table Topics ideas.
Here are some other ideas for Table Topics:
Dear Abby - Give each participant a "Dear Abby" questions ask them to give some advice.
Auction: Each Club member brings an item from home such as flowers, plants, handcrafts, baked goods, books, music etc. Participants are asked to sell give a stellar sales pitch for their item. Items are then auctioned off to the highest bidder. Monies raised can be used for prizes for future Club activities or donated to charity.
Fortune Cookies - Have participants select a fortune cookie and speak for 2 minutes on the fortunte they get inside the cookie.
Treasure Chest - Table topics master brings a box of unusual items. Participants are required to sell their product. The TT master may start off by giving some tips on selling techniques.
