Wednesday Sept. 15 | Foreign Affairs

A big shout out to Caroline Armstrong for putting together a superb meeting.  Many of us expected a serious and to-the-point meeting with the subject matter but by the end of the meeting everyone had enjoyed numerous laughs and chuckles.  Ray Hebert lead off with his speech the "Rule of 3" in the Advanced Manual, Speaking to Inform while Big Darryle Brown finished with "Once You Say It, You Can't Take It Back."  Both speaker provided great subject matter and expertise around their respective subjects.

With a brief break, Christine Groves lead a wonderful Table Topics around foreign affairs but kept it light hearted with Paul Murphy discussing M&Ms and their correlation to International Affairs, Tim Cazier with a thought provoking look at a Cartoon Character Conference, and Pamela with tales of skipping rope.

Christine Groves introducing table topics:

Ron Wachenheim and Pamela Gould came through with 2 wonderful evaluations for our speakers and provided positive feedback coupled with tips for improvement.  Thanks for stepping up everyone!

Ron W. evaluates:

See you in October for TM Open House!

Wednesday September 1, 2010 | Ivy-Colored Walls

What a meeting today!  Absolutely wonderful with our venerable DTM, Ron Wachenheim, taking the reigns as TM with the theme Ivy-Colored Walls.  I enjoyed this meeting tremendously and we had a wonderful line up of speakers.  I had hoped to have a successful taping of each of the speakers; however I have now learned that the battery in the microphone for the camera died.  In addition we have a set limit on the amount of video we can upload so I've only uploaded the evaluators.  I'm a bit disappointed but not to worry, we will come back in the next meeting with some taped speeches with sound as well as the corresponding evaluations.
This may have been better named the Mimed TM meeting.  However if you wish to see body movement in action then please see below:


Evaluator 1: Walter Weinig - Evaluating Caroline

Evaluator 2: Ray Hebert - Evaluating Paul Murphy

We will continue to improve our video tapings, first and foremost by ensuring the microphone has a fresh battery.

Thanks,
