Communication and Leadership with Speakeasy

Members of Speakeasy Toastmasters have extended the opportunities provided by Toastmasters, the development of communication and leadership skills, beyond our organization. Toastmaster member Jerry Mulcahy established the Nice ‘n Easy Club at the COPE foundation in Quartertown. Members of the Nice ‘n Easy Club have delivered speeches at Speakeasy Toastmasters for many years.

Former club President Mary Buckley inaugurated the Speakeasy Toastmasters Schools Public Speaking Competition. Held each November, teams representing various secondary schools throughout North Cork have taken part.

The contribution made by members of Speakeasy Toastmasters to Mallow has been recognized by the Sports and Leisure Council. Pat Sexton, Matt Lawlee, Jeremiah Roynane and Michael Cronin have received awards from the Sports and Leisure Council.

Our next meeting will be held on May 13th, at the Hibernian Hotel, Mallow, commencing at 8:00pm. Members of the public are welcome to attend our meetings and will not be asked to speak. Further details about the club are available from our website, www.speakeasytoastmasters.com, which features a blog containing our press release archive, or from Ray ay 086-3675706.
