I was proud to be the official Toastmaster of Riverbend Toastmasters meeting on December 11, 2013.
The theme of our meeting was “The Christmas Machine.” I took the idea from one of our members Louann Clark’s podcast A Decided Difference.
We had some exciting speakers Kacie Mattox spoke about all the things her family does to create family memories.
Clydean Gish spoke on “Sew Sew Christmas” and how her and several of her friends are making (sewing) pillow dresses for children in foreign countries.
Many times when I speak I can’t help to give some sort of infomercial for something. And since many people are looking for just the right new electronic gadget to buy for unique Christmas gifts I showed off some gadgets that I refer to as the “Cable TV Replacement Toys“.
Well these devices cannot totally allow you to do away with the expensive cable tv but they sure can help.
The Devices are:
Google Chromecast -Most inexpensive gadget and the newest at $35.
Apple TV– The product that has been out the longest and most stable and works with iPad and iPhone and retails for around $100
Roku– Claims to have over 1,000 channels (some requiring subscriptions) and works with most TV’s and is the one that I use.
The best prices for these devices can be found at Amazon!
I recommend Amazon Prime. Try it out now for seven days and order your Chrismas gifts then cancel. I know thats cheating a little but it is a great service and well worth the $79 annual costs.
Buy Google Chromecast (this is a #1 best seller this year for Amazon)
