The 195th Regular Meeting: Oct. 19, 2024

"What an Impeccable Meeting!"

These were the right words to describe the 195th regular meeting at Senri TMC. 

The meeting went impeccably smooth starting from “Here’s My Trick.” This was a short friendly learning reminder of how to come up with one strong speech message. Just a recap of what was said (1) Use familiar words; (2) Storyline or content should be simple; and (3) Don’t pack too many ideas in one message.

The “Speeches” were impeccably prepared and impeccably delivered by versatile speakers. The topics ranged from learned personal experiences, trivialities of marital life, a heart-warming philanthropic act, and a cautionary speech on how to control one’s anger.

The constructive feedback during the “Evaluation Session” was likewise impeccable. Each experienced evaluator praised and gave clear and feasible suggestions to the speakers.

And the sometimes, “dreaded” “Impromptu Speech” proved not dreadful but with impeccably interesting topics that complemented both the speakers and the audience.

This impeccable club meeting has again empowered the dedicated members to be more effective public speakers.

In Senri Toastmasters, a member serving as the "Grammarian/Word Master" selects a word as the Word of the Day, and members and guests are encouraged to incorporate that word or its derivative words in their speeches.
