SUCCESSFUL CLUB

Feedbackers

The Workshop Club

by Leanna Lindquist, DTM - District Director

Feedbackers Club
chartered 14 years ago. The focus of the club is,
well, feedback. At each of our meetings three
members, or guests, give 5-7 minute speeches.
Each speaker receives feedback from four
different evaluators. The speakers request what
type of feedback they wish to receive. It can be
based on manual, vocals, organization or stage
to name a few. The four evaluators are then
given feedback on their evaluations so they can
improve too.

Our members joined this club because
they realized that providing feedback on what
people do well and what can be improved on
is how growth happens. Many people say they
are too intimidated to join Feedbackers. When
you come to a meeting what you will find is a

welloiled machine that makes
it up as it goes. Our speakers
are signed up in advance. Our
evaluators volunteer on the spot.
With timers, grammarians and
general evaluators we are three
separate meetings in one. You
will find you will always learn
something and you always have
fun.

Our club has three District
Evaluation Contest winners;
Cleon Cox, Eric Winger and
James Wantz. Our club strives
for excellence. President’s
Distinguished Club is always
our goal. We have a history of
helping District speech contestants fine tune
their speeches.
If you don’t think you have time for another
club, think again. If you are looking for a way to
have fun and receive championship feedback
join us at Feedbackers. We meet at the Beaverton
Activities Center, 12500 SW Allen Blvd, every
second Wednesday of the month, from 7:30 pm
to 9:00 pm. Join us, it will change your life.
