It was a pleasure to hear an honest-to-god, struggling Toastmaster (like the rest of us) deliver the Test Speech, as opposed to a "professional" speaker, the likes of which are rarely evaluated, except as Test Speakers. Everyone appreciated the from-the-heart life story you shared with us, and it was a pleasure getting to know you. Please remember that you are welcome to visit, any time. Thanks, Renee.

Giving my IceBreaker during a contest turned out to be a much more positive experience than I had expected, and in large part that is because of the very kind people that attend this club. I appreciated the helpful suggestions I received not only from the contest evaluators, but also from other members. I felt very encouraged. Thank you for the bookmark! I'll remember my IceBreaker day whenever I use it! Thank you Brinker Toastmasters for the warm reception I got as model speaker.

Thanks for bringing that wonderful Dilip Abayasekara article to our attention. What a piece of wisdom it is - I'll be using it the next time I'm speaking about Contests :-) Ralph Mike,
