Everybody was decked out in their craziest costumes for Korea’s first ever Tall Tales Speech Contest at KHTM!

Host Sue Kim kicked off the night dressed in red devil earsand a shirt that was a tall tale in itself. She introduced each

of the 7 speakers competing in the contest.Before we jumped into the speeches Table Topics MasterPeter Beresford called up a number of volunteers andrandomly assigned each a speaker to evaluate. A very cooltwist on the Table Topics session.

Next up were the speeches. Brendan started us off withdressed up and speaking as Russ the Redneck and told afarfetched story about fighting off a bear attack. Then it wasRose ’s turn as she told the South African folk tale of Annajie. After Rose was Grace who told us all the story of her chance meeting with Russel Crowe down-under and herrecent rise to super-stardom as an actress.

Next up we had Tim up who told us theunlikely story of Kore a’s favorite elderly hero and protector. Then we had Sook Young who told us a chillingstory of a girl who made f riends with ghosts. Last up was Bob dressed as a reject villain from the Saw movies

Hometown: I don't know. Somewhere in Texas orGeorgiaOccupation: Christian Teacher Recruiter / EnglishEducatorA Member of KHTM since: March 2007Awards: CCExecutive Positions: Treasurer, Interclub Liaison Officer,President, Area Governor

It's movie night, what movie are we watching first? The Ring. Followed by ahilarious comedy to stem to the flow of scared urine entering my pants.

I need a book for a long flight, what do you recommend?the Oxford Dictionary. Page 337 is my favorite.

It's your last meal, what is on your plate? Grilled Sirloi600g cooked medium-well. Also, grilled asparagus andsautéed mushrooms. Everything would be coated with lifeextending juice, of course.

The bartender asks "What are you drinking".What is your answer? "What's your name, pretty lady?"

You are a long time member and former presidentof KHTM. How has the club changed over the years?The club has really grown and matured a lot over theyears. When I first came to KH in early 2007, I found a

club that needed members and officer leadership. We only had 8-10 people at themeetings on average. Most weeks, we had several people drop off the agenda, andwe had no officer meetings because the officers never came. Now, we have noproblem with getting enough members, or getting enough officer support andcommitment. Due to bringing in high quality leaders who lead the club by example,our club is now stronger than ever before. We have really been changing for thebetter, and that is 100% due to the quality of the people that KH has been attractingand retaining.

You were just named an Area Governor, what do you have planned for thisnew position? I plan to rule with an iron fist. Just kidding, I have no real power,and my main function is that of a facilitator in helping individual clubs in my areadevelop and meet their Distinguished Club goals. That means that LG, PS, SC, andYonsei all stay on track and continue to bring in new members and build up thecurrent ones. I want all of us to have more mobility in visiting other clubs and havea hand in helping other clubs succeed.

What are your upcoming goals inside and outside of KHTM?Inside: Finishing my CL and ACB. Although I've been involved with Toastmastersfor a long time, I've been taking my time going through the educational program. Inow realize that Arkansawnians are speeding through their program, and I shouldbe moving faster. If people from Arkansas can do it.... Outside: Finish this writing in record time!

Member ProfileTips on How to Use Your Body

Here’s how you can incorporate appropriate body language into your peeches:

Start with eye contact . Being prepared – having control ofyour message – is a prerequisite for being able to project andestablish a bond with the audience. Don’t just pass your gazethroughout the room; try to focus on individual listeners and

create a bond with them by looking them directly in the eyesfor five to 10 seconds. Smile ! Express emotion with your facial muscles . For inspiration,

take a look at the The Human Face , a BBC documentarynarrated by John Cleese of Monty Python fame, now availableon DVD.

Avoid distracting mannerisms – have a friend watch as youpractice and look for nervous expressions such as fidgeting,twitching, lip biting, key jingling, hands in pockets or behind theback.

Telling a story? Highlight the action verbs and look for waysto act out one or more parts. Speaking about marathonrunning? Run a few steps.

Stay true to your personality. Don’t copy gestures from abook or other speaker, but respond naturally to what you feeland say.

Make gestures convincing. Every hand gesture should betotal body movement that starts f rom the shoulder – never fromthe elbow. Half-hearted gestures look artificial.

Vary your speaking position by moving from one spot onthe stage to another. For example, walk to the other side ofthe stage as you move to a new topic or move toward theaudience as you ask a question.
