Which Magical Power Would you Choose?
Three contestants in the CTI Techtalkers Table Topics contest were asked if they could have any magical power, which would they choose. Impromptu speaking is difficult enough at any time but in a contest situation, the pressure is on. The contestants showed us how it is done. They inspired and entertained us as they spoke about their favourite magical power.
First Place - Carole "Resolving world hunger "
Second Place - Kevin "Curing mental illness"
Congratulations to all our contestants, Carole, Kevin and Linda! Carole will now be going on to the next level - the Area J41 contest on Thursday, Oct 21 at 7:00 pm at the University of Calgary Students Council Chambers. Let's plan to be there to cheer Carole on.

Contests Contests Contests
Two Contests! Two opportunities to hear some mighty fine speakers.
On Thursday, September 23, come to cheer on our creative Table Topics contestants !
In the Table Topics contest, all of the contestants leave the room and then, one by one, they return to answer the same question in a two minute impromptu speech. It is fascinating how different those answers can be. Contestants are judged on delivery, content, and use of language and must answer the question.
On Wednesday, September 29, tickle your funny bone by listening to our humorous speech contestants entertain you with their funniest stories. Each contestant will deliver a 5-7 minute humorous speech on a topic of their choice and will be judged on delivery, content, use of language and audience reaction.
All members and guests are welcome!

Awards Day and Table Topics Funfest Results
Val, incoming President, was our Toastmaster for the meeting and honoured our outgoing President, Kevin, with vote of thanks and a keepsake book.
CTI was pleased to recognize new members, Linda, Ruth and Edgar and welcome them to the club. Linda and Ruth will be presenting their icebreaker speeches at the June 24 meeting.
Table Topics Funfest was led by Marc who challenged the speakers with interesting questions that sparked a lot of humour and stories. The funniest one was by Laurie who regaled us with tales about going to the dentist as a child. Winners of the funfest were: First - Laurie, Second - Darlene, and Third - Ruth.
The most UMs award went to Edgar - our new member. It won't be long before Edgar will be able to pass the dubious award on to some other member.
