These notes were presented to the Rotary Club of West Ottawa by club member Keith Fraser
YOU HAVE BEEN ASKED TO SAY GRACE
Meaning - to give thanks for our blessings and the opportunity to serve.
NO MORE THAN 30 SECONDS
We have been called to order. We have sung O Canada. We are all hungry. Keep it short. If you want to make it inspirational, humourous, topical or read a poem, OK. But keep it short. Definitely - keep it non-denominational, like Rotary.
This took 30 SECONDS
These notes have been culled from a talk, several times repeated, by my brother whose career was in advertising and public relations and included lecturing on public speaking at Carleton University. I have timed this presentation to give you and idea of how long one or two minutes takes to talk.
