(I'm the president of my club, Toastmasters of La Jolla, and I kick off every meeting. In the summer, we have a meeting or two at the beautiful La Jolla Cove.)
Last week, I introduced a fixture to my Presidential comments, the top ten list. In the spirit of tonight’s theme, The Dog Days of Summer, here are the top ten signs that your outdoor Toastmasters meeting isn’t working out:
10. Bored members hanging around the free wine table long before the break.
9. Several of the guests keep looking around to make sure no one’s taking their shopping carts.
8. Instead of wine, your club serves 40 oz.’ers.
7. Audience members keep getting hit in head with Frisbees.
6. Your toastmaster’s theme is Lynyrd Skynyrd, and their CD player is infinitely repeating “Free Bird.”
5. The General Evaluator, dressed in a kilt, spends his entire two and a half minutes saying the club is filled with girlie-men.
4. Half the membership gets lost looking for the “meeting at the cave”
3. Your president shows up wearing only a thong.
2. The partisanship sweeping the nation overcomes your club as angry members throw salsa and squirt shaken-up beers at one another.
And the number one side that your outdoors Toastmasters meeting isn’t working out…
No one is sober enough to participate in table topics.
