Every year during the holiday season, my home club, Sunrise Marion #3515, does a White Elephant gift exchange that’s turned into an all-meeting Table Topics session. Members bring a wrapped or bagged gift, which are all placed on a table near the front of the room. Then one at time, the Toastmaster of the day invites each member to come forward to choose a gift. The member then opens the gift and gives a Table Topics response based on their new treasure. We’ll bring a few extra gifts, just in case things progress quickly and there’s time for some people to take a second turn, or to make sure guests have the opportunity to participate.
Does your club have a tradition this time of year that other clubs might find interesting? Just click on the “Submit a Story” button and tell us about it, and we’ll write about it! Please be complete in your description of how it works.
