10/10/07 last day of speeches

Today we had had some very well performed speeches. I think that everyone knew their organization well, and was able to sway their audience. My only concern was that a couple of the speeches sounded like all the others, which is not a bad thing since we have a lot of foundations in Indiana like those. There were also a couple of presenters that I thought did very well, and presented a good speech, but by personal preference decided not to donate to them. I only wish that there was a little more diversity in the ways people did their speech. I thought that they all had very good speeches and valid points and data to support these points. Everyone was able to make a rebuttal, and support it. Overall, I think that we all did a good job on getting our points across. I really liked how Maggie made this presentation seem like a business meeting. I thought that it was good how Tina had a PowerPoint, even though it wouldn’t show up on the projector, but she pulled it off very nicely without a visual aid. I would donate to all of these foundations if I could, but I only had $20.
