3. Table Topics Master Table Topics Master is responsible for running the "table topics" session with the several purposes in mind. Enabling members to develop the skills of impromptu speaking or the ability to "speak on their feet" and providing a speaking opportunity for any member who is not otherwise included in the meeting agenda. Depending on if we have speakers you should come up with 3-5 questions. If there are no speakers then we will go through all 5, if there is one we will go through 4, and if there are 2 speakers we will go through 3. Table Topics Master can decide if they want to ask questions relating to the theme of the day or if they want to make up there own questions. Table Topics Master will call on a timers, and grammarian report. They will also call on a vote for best Table Topics.

6. General Evaluator Your general evaluation should cover three broad areas: (1) an overall evaluation of the meeting, (2) an evaluation of the table topics session, and (3) an evaluation of the speech evaluators. Regarding the actual meeting, these are a few standard questions you should answer: 1. Did the meeting start on time? 2. How was the flow of the meeting? Did we get through the routine roles at the start of the meeting in a brisk manner? 3. Were the introductions of speakers/speeches informative? 4. Was proper etiquette observed? For example, was the lectern ever left unguarded? Were there handshakes at the appropriate time? 5. How were the usual last minute glitches handled? 6. Did anything happen that was not fully explained to our guests? (It's not a bad idea to mention the names of the guests during your general evaluation.)‏ 7. Was time wasted by anyone at anytime? (E.g., did a role go significantly over their expected time?)‏ Introduce the Evaluations portion of the meeting by introducing the evaluators of the speeches.
