Liberty Village Toastmasters Toronto

Last Tuesday, May 10th was the Census day. We all received the yellow envelope in our mail and on it reads: “Complete the census – it’s the law”. What does completing the 2011 Census really means? Is it law or rather moral obligation? Come to this Wednesday’s meeting to find out from our Toastmaster Lily why you should complete the 2011 Census and how the information you provide will help build a better country for our future generations.

The agenda looks packed again with no less than 4 prepared speeches in a nice balanced fashion: 2 ice-breakers and 2 speeches #4. Let’s show our support to Rene and Patty who will deliver their first speeches! Tomorrow you will also have an opportunity to observe the “How to say it” part of a speech by listening to Luke and Julian who will both try to communicate their ideas clearly, accurately and vividly.

Stay tuned for a fun Table Topics session facilitated by Michelle!
See you tomorrow at the meeting!

Today our Toastmaster Navita will challenge us to remember listening the simple sounds around us. Do we really pay attention to the sounds of nature, or we choose to ignore them most of the times by listening to our ipods and mp3 players?

The agenda looks packed like never before with 4 prepared speeches!!! Arvind, Michelle and Frank are all fighting to finalize their Competent Communicator manual before July 1st. Who will be the first one to hit the finish line? Come to the next meetings to find out!
Eric is also moving fast through his Persuasive Speaking advanced manual. Congrats Eric for leading by example as an advanced speaker!

This week’s meeting theme is “Experiences”! Are all experiences valuable? How valuable are some experiences in our lives? Our Toastmaster Jay will enlighten us with answers to these questions based on his own life experiences.
The agenda is busy as usual with prepared speeches delivered by 2 of the newest members in our club, Luke and Ali. Ali will deliver his 2nd speech talking about martial arts and teaching us how to get our third degree Black belt in Tae- Kwon- Do.
Luke will get to the point with his 3rd speech teaching us “The Art of traveling lightly”.

Stay tuned for a fun table topics session facilitated by Arvind.

With the general elections coming next week we’re becoming more aware of our identity as voters. At this week’s meeting, our Toastmaster Vivienne will take us to a journey about the history of voting from the Ancient times until nowadays. Is voting a privilege? Come to the meeting to find out!

The agenda looks packed again: Arvind is accelerating through the CC finish line by delivering his 7th speech after only 1 week since his last presentation, Michelle will also deliver her 7th speech about a mysterious character called Steve and Sean will get us inspired to become Distinguished Toastmasters with his 8th speech.
