You Could Have Knocked Me Over With A Feather

So, I bounced off to ToastMasters last night, and when I got there I discovered that I had been assigned the task of "General Evaluator" for the evening. I was shocked! I'm a relatively recent member of the Club (joined in December) and have only done five speeches! However, on the other side of things, I AM fairly mature, shall we say. I guess there is this recognition that people can be stretched and won't actually break.

I felt a little flustered and I made a couple of false starts, but I was guided back. The pleasant surprise was that I was evaluated as GE and have a partial project completed in the Competent Leader Manual-- I hadn't known about that. Next time I am going to be the Table Topics Master and I plan to be evaluated in the Competent Leader Manual. Seems only fair. And next time we need to pay our dues for the next year or six months, whatever.

Three new members. Life is good in Toastyland!
