Just as bears and marmots hibernate through the cold winter months, so too does UT Sciences Toastmasters Club go on hiatus. As the university closes for Winter Break, our official meetings will be on hold from now until mid January.
Please join us for our next meeting on January 11, 2013 at 5:55 pm in SAC 1.106!

209th Meeting
Our prepared speaker gave a speech about time that provoked both thoughts and chuckles. Our Toastmaster made sure we knew what time it was: game time! Eight impromptu speakers tested their wits in front of a crowd by fielding questions about games of all kinds. The crowd seemed to like them all, as each speaker got at least one vote for best Table Topics speaker. Our area Table Topics champion and a guest did get a few more votes than the rest—and the glory and prize stickers that came with them.

208th Meeting
A great welcome back to all of our guests who attended the Open House to our meeting this evening!
Maryam gave a moving speech set on a cold New Year's Eve, while Kalen retold the history of Perseus and the slaying of Medusa.
Later this evening I asked the audience to describe something they know well -- such as swimming, football, and photographs -- to someone (be it aliens or Tarzan) who might be unfamiliar with these objects and actions. The theme this evening was Explanation Station.

207th Meeting
Open house!
Out halls (single lecture room) were bursting out the door (a couple of chairs left) for this once-in-a-lifetime (semester) event!
Food was aplenty this evening as our members and new guests discussed why they love to speak, or why they want to speak. Our member Alex posed many questions to the audience designed to get people focused on different methods as they spoke.
As always, guests are always invited, and we hope to see all of our Open House attendees back!

206th Meeting
Tonight we held a club Table Topics and Tall Tales Contest in preparation for the district competition this upcoming Monday. We heard quite the tale of bravery from Kalen, a member who has traveled to Mars to fix Curiosity. Against him, our member Alex spoke about his recent experience in the Netherlands.
Our Table Topics contestants all envisioned a new degree program around any activity of their choice, varying wildly in their interpretations.
There are always many competitions a Toastmaster member can become a part of during the year for improvement. Competitions are held at a club, regional, national, and international levels.
