Timer Today, I am your Timer. My job is to time speeches, evaluations, & Table Topics. [sometimes a club may want to time other activities] The purpose for timing is to help participants learn to express a thought and/or speech within a specific time. GreenYellowRed I will use the three colored lights to signal times (Green, Yellow, and Red). Green Green - You have met the minimum time requirements Yellow Yellow - You are at the halfway point between the minimum & maximum times Red Red - You have reached the maximum time and need to conclude Overtime- You have gone completely over time I will record the time for each person and I will very briefly report the times for each speaker when called upon.GreenYellowRedOvertime Ice Breaker speeches 4 – 6 minutes  4 minutes 5 minutes 6 minutes 6.5 minutes Speeches - 5 to 7 minute (example)  5 minutes 6 minutes 7 minutes 7.5 minutes Table Topics - 1 to 2 minutes  1 minute 1.5 minutes 2 minutes 2.5 minutes Evaluations - 2 to 3 minutes  2 minutes 2.5 minutes 3 minutes 3.5 minutes

Ballot Counter I am your Ballot Counter today. My job is to sort out comment notes for the Speakers and to count votes for the best Speaker, Evaluator, and Table Topics speaker. The comment notes provide a way for members and guests to provide written feedback to speakers. Frequently the writer signs their name to the ballot so the speaker can seek additional feedback if desired. The ballots allow members and guests to give their opinion on the best Speaker, Evaluator, and Table Topics speaker at this meeting. As Ballot Counter, I don’t vote. However if there is a tie, I secretly cast my vote to break the tie. Don’t ask me how many votes anyone receives! Because I am tactful, I never give away any hints or details. Please pass me your comment notes and ballots as you complete them during the meeting, so I can count them and report at the end of the meeting.

Table Topics Master Today, I am your Table Topics Master. My job is to prepare and issue topics for members to talk about. Each participating member will need to talk about the selected topic for 1 to 2 minutes. I will first select members without roles. The purpose of this is to have members “think on their feet”. The idea is to help members learn how to present a meaningful topic, idea, or opinion when they are asked to do so on the spur of the moment - like at a meeting, a training session, or when asked to say a “few words” about a coworker. At first, it is not important what you say as long as you continually say something - even if it is unrelated to the original topic. With time and practice, you will learn how to think and speak on your feet.

Ah Counter Today, I am your Ah Counter. My job is to listen for members using words and sounds as “fillers” and/or “Pregnant Pauses”. Examples of these are: “Um”, “Ah”, “And”, “Well”, “Soooo”, “You Know”, etc… I will also be listening for repeated words or phases. Examples: “I,I”, “This means, This means”, To, To”, etc… The purpose for this is to help members learn how not to rely on verbal crutches when they speak. This will make their presentations sound professional and allow them to command respect and credibility when they present now and in the future. During the meeting, when I hear one of these words, sounds, or phases, I will click the clicker each time and record it. I will not, however, use the clicker for guests. I will keep a running record for of all speakers during the meeting and at the end, I will give my reports as to who said what and how many times they said it! AH!Sooooo!

Grammarian Word of the Day - Thought of the Week Today, I am your Grammarian. My job is two fold. First, I will introduce a new word to the members. And second, I will listen for members’ use of English- both good and not so good. The purpose for this is to help members improve their use of the English language. This will allow them to become a more confident speaker and presenter. Let me introduce today’s word - “_____”, It means “________”, and now I will use it in a sentence. At the end of the meeting I will report who used the word and how many times. As the meeting proceeds, I will be listening to everyone’s word usage. I will write down any interesting or exceptional language, as well as any awkward use or misuse of the language (incomplete sentences, sentences that change direction in midstream, incorrect grammar, etc…) and who erred. At the end of the meeting I will report on what I heard and what I think is the appropriate usage.

General Evaluator Today, I am your General Evaluator. My job is to evaluate everything that happens during the meeting. I will introduce other Evaluators and ask for Functionary reports. The purpose of this is for all of us to learn how to improve meetings. Not just our Toastmasters meeting, but all meetings. This will help improve the quality and flow of future meetings. I will be taking notes through out the entire meeting as to how things went. Some examples of what I will be looking for are: Did we start and end on time? Were there unnecessary distractions that could have been avoided? What went right or what did I like about the meeting? How was the flow of the meeting? How did the evaluators do? How did the functionaries perform? Was proper meeting etiquette followed?

ToastMaster Toastmasters Roles for the Meeting The main duty of the Toastmaster is to act as a genial host and conduct the educational portion of the meeting. 1.Introduce Guests 2.Read the Mission Statement The mission of the ______________ Toastmasters Club is to provide a mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which every member has the opportunity to develop and practice communication and leadership skills, which in turn foster self- confidence and personal growth. 3.Introduce Weekly Functionaries 4.Introduce the Table Topics Master 5.Introduce the General Evaluator 6.Introduce the speakers I will be leading the applause throughout the meeting.
