GENERAL EVALUATION

• We started late, but it is usual around this time of year because of midterms and the cooler weather.
• Table Topics Masters please remember to compile a list of members and guests who do not have roles and call on them to speak.  Try to avoid major role takers as Table Topics speakers, especially the Toastmaster of the day.
• Please remember not to reintroduce yourself when someone had already introduced you.
• Remember that the Grammarian role is more of a style coach than a grammar teacher.  Always point out interesting use of language -- and point out who said it -- but do not point or single out people who made grammar errors when correcting.

FINES MASTER

The Fines Master was Jong Yoon Kim and he played a "Who am I?" game.  Jerry Kim Gomez won by guessing the answer on the first hint.  The answer was Steve Jobs.  The first question clue was "I like black shirts."  The next and final hint was, "My favorite word is 'I'."
