Speakeasy meeting

Speakeasy Toastmasters held their final meeting of the 2005-06 season on May 25th.
Pat Duggan was presiding Toastmaster while Pat Sexton was topicsmaster. While the final meeting is always devoted to members completing communication awards, our last meeting also featured a new member completing her first speech. Elaine O’ Connell completed the first speech from the basic manual, which is a speech introducing oneself to your fellow club members, and we welcome Elaine to the club.
The basic manual guides one through the basics of speech-making, and the final project in the manual is to deliver an inspirational speech. Anne Buckley completed this project and congratulations to Anne upon achieving the Competent Toastmaster Award.
After the basic manual, club members can select specialised manuals, which cover areas such as humorous speeches, informative speeches and special occasion speeches. Upon completing two advanced manuals, members are awarded the Advanced Toastmaster Bronze Award.
At the meeting, both Sean Corcoran and Mary Buckley achieved their awards and congratulations are extended to both. Finally, Division A Governor, Tony O’ Regan addressed the club.
Speakeasy Toastmasters wish both members and friends a safe summer. Our meetings will resume in September and check the local press for further details. Further details about the club are available from the Club Website: www.speakeasytoastmasters.com. The activities of the Club over recent years are available from our archive of press releases which can be accessed from the Club Blog: www.speakeasytm.blogspot.com.
