Tundra Talkers Fairbanks, Alaska

7/2/20

 

Facebook saves the day!

 

Steve and I have been having trouble finding a member from an Alaskan club to respond to our emails.  So I started searching for clubs in Alaska on Facebook and Tundra Talkers popped up.  A link to their website on Facebook showed their Zoom link was posted.  I love that it was so easy to get to their club!  Tundra Talkers has 20 members and is Select Distinguished; however, from my visit, this club has it all!  


The meeting flowed well with nice transitions. It was professional yet filled with laughter.  The members are open and engaging.  This club felt like home.  Even before the meeting they greeted us, engaged us in conversation, and made us feel very special. They even asked that we put our club link on chat so that they could visit our club. 

 

Tundra Talkers has 20 members but attendance usually drops off in the summer. There were 10 in attendance at the meeting.  They asked if we would be willing to fill a role and of course we excitedly agreed.  Steve filled the role of grammarian and I served in my all-time favorite role, the Table Topics Master.

 

One role I have not seen in any club is an Education Minute for Pathways.  I think this is a great way to help members adapt to our new educational program.  This might be something my club may start doing.  One other role I enjoyed was the Quizard.  Which is basically asking questions at the end to see how well people were listening to the meeting.  Steve and I were even mentioned in one of the questions, “Where are our guests, Cynthia and Steve from?”  and everyone got that answer right!

 

I can’t say enough good things about this club.  If you are looking for a great club to visit, this is one I would recommend.  Two more members and they will be President’s Distinguished.  Maybe there are two people out there looking for a phenomenal club???
