Our Coral Springs Toastmasters Clubs are joining together to participate in the Our Town America community festival. We need volunteers to man a booth where we will hand out brochures, answer questions, and challenge people to do a sample Table Topic on the spot.
We have a chance to make a big, positive impression on the crowd as part of the entertainment program in three different 30-minute opportunities — we will get to do our thing on stage during changeovers between other performers at these times:
- Friday – 9:30 pm
- Saturday – 9:30 pm
- Sunday – 2:30 pm
For each of these, we will need to recruit a master of ceremonies and other volunteers to make this come off smoothly. We have to make sure it is entertaining, not just educational, but we will also ask people to come by our booth to find out more.
Entertainment program preliminary plan:
Table Topics: hold a game show-style Table Topics competition. After having some of our members show how it is done, we ask for volunteers from the audience. See if we can get some cute kids and brave adults. Voting for winners by applause of the crowd.
Master of Ceremonies wrap-up: Interview one or more longtime Toastmasters about what they have learned and why they keep coming back. Make a few observations about what our volunteers from the crowd did well in their Table Topics.
