Somerville Toastmasters of Somerville, Massachusetts, held The Toasties, an awards show-themed meeting. Members were encouraged to dress up, and President Alex Thompson played the role of the red-carpet fashionista, interviewing members about what they were wearing to that weeks Zoom call. During Table Topics簧, members practiced receiving fictitious awards (such as Worlds Best Procrastinator) with tact and humility. David Pasternak came up with the meeting idea, served as Toastmaster of the Day, and created a video prelude and humorous interludes throughout the meeting. While no trophies were given, each speaker received an even more valuable giftan evaluation!
