EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
ADDED TO MONTHLY SCHEDULE

Educational Vice President Irene Majava, CTM, says she sees value in adding an educational program to the monthly assignment schedule every four to six weeks.

In December, the assignment idea was fulfilled by Wayne Church, ATM-Silver, who presented on the proper use of audio-visual equipment following an advanced manual speech. He met all objectives.

His main purpose was to keep the group alive and add interest and excitement to the presentation. He shared various techniques to keep an audience awake and increase its retention of the message.

Wayne's most powerful expression occurred when he slammed an egg on a cookie sheet to vividly explain how the head of motorcyclist would appear in an accident without a helmet.

Wayne has also learned the value of using small magnetic cars on a white board in his defensive driving classes. His use of props for the session was endless.

In doing the Table Topics portion of the meeting, Kathryn De Bano-Rhodes, CTM, incorporated those props into her segment.

The magnetic cars and white board were used effectively by Robert Zakian, CTM, when he was asked to show his route on Christmas Eve. The use of props gave everyone a clear picture of Robert's Christmas Eve plans.
