Travelin Toastmaster Gets In Debate
May 16th, 2009 by Ken

I traveled to another great club Wednesday The Austin Discussion and Debate club. I saw their demonstration at the conference and It made me want to see the real thing. I met three of the guys from the demonstration Paul Kaschube, Garret Onderdonk III, and Dwayne Windham along with the rest of the group. They let me participate in one of their debates. It was a lot of fun.

Paul called Jill and I to come up and debate. We did not know what the issue was or what side of it that we were on until the last minute. It was like Table Topics with a twist. I also had to represent the side that I was against. It really made me realize that in order to win a debate you need to know your opponents side as well as your own. It was a great educational experience.

If you want to improve your skills at debating this is a great place to practice them. They meet the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of ever month for details go to: Austin Discussion and Debate
