21! Have no stress or responsibilities and are starting adult life with many possibilities.

Speaker #1 :

Rosemary Hsu

Travels: Scenes Remembered (#5)

Shared travel perils and gems from Nepal to Taj Mahal to Bangkok.  Avoided rickshaw at night so missed sight. Brought dresses and befriended handicapped travel agent.

Speaker #2 :

Stephen King

Do Something

Met cancer patient on plane. Didn’t know whether to show empathy. Decided can’t be a silent leader. Do something, not be something, so don’t steal from society.

 

 

 

 

General Evaluator:

Ed Linek

 

Guests came in middle of meeting so didn’t introduce them until end. Should answer table topics question or state that you are not. Took too long between speakers so ended late.

Evaluator #1 :

David Buckler

 

Comfort level and preparation shown since no notes or podium used.  Practiced use of microphone. Good pacing of words. Work on modulating volume.

Evaluator #2 :

Kathy Fox

 

Great phrasing and gestures when using slides (but couldn’t see them). Good use of space. Came full circle from intro to end. Work on eye contact, sound effects, and volume control.

Grammarian:

Meryl Shuff

 

Very few ahs, but people occasionally used slang contractions inappropriately.

Timer:

Meryl Shuff

 

Everyone within range except Mary Anne (because forgot to turn on timing lights).
