18 Sept

Speakeasy Toastmasters Mallow

Second meeting of 2003/2004

With such a terrific start to the year last Thursday night, Speakeasy Toastmasters club is looking forward to their second meeting on Thursday, 18th September at 8:00 pm during which night the club Table Topics Contest will be held. This is a competition where toastmaster members are asked to speak briefly and off the cuff on a given topic – usually leading to a very interesting and entertaining night. The first and second place winners go on to compete in the area finals to be hosted by Fermoy Toastmasters club on the 14th October.

During last week’s meeting Jeremiah Ronayne gave a speech during which he presented the club with the ‘President’s Distinguished Club’ award. In many ways the club’s success has been due to the commitment and hard work of individuals like Jeremiah who go on to contribute equally well at international level within Toastmasters. Jeremiah has a very challenging role this year as Area Governor covering all of the toastmasters clubs in Ireland and the UK and represents this district in the US – a very big job! As a club we are very proud of Jeremiah’s success within toastmasters worldwide.

Do you know what Toastmasters can do for YOU?….Find out on Saturday 27th September when Speakeasy Toastmasters Mallow will have an information stand at Tesco’s Mallow, from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm.
