What are the core fundamentals of public speaking? How can you use them to create a visually engaging, fun to listen to, impactful presentation?
This week, you’ll learn BMV – the fundamentals of public speaking. Watch as our speakers strive to put them into action, then listen as our evaluators push them to improve. And of course, you can show us your own BMV in our always-surprising Table Topics session. Don’t miss it!

Are you ready for Halloween?
Edwin made sure we all were with his Toastmaster’s speech, which spooked us with everything from the origins of All Hallows’ Eve to his plans for Oct. 31st. Plus, he brought candy!
Maxim tricked us with his three “Rules of Happiness”, putting an inspirational spin on our problems, posture, and fears, while James’ workshop on hosting a meeting was surely a treat — just ask Maxim, who wore a Toastmaster’s costume as he re-enacted the role’s main tasks.
Finally, Rose’s Table Topics session was ghoulishly good, as we were each paired with a Halloween character for an Oct. 31 dinner date. We heard about leprechauns, vampires, and even aliens, but it was our guest Emilio who got the final treat, winning it all with his date with a mummy. Boo!
NEXT WEEK: We’ll cover BMV — the Fundamentals of Public Speaking — while welcoming guest speaker Charmaine and our new Area 27 Governor, Sandra. Be there!

“What are three things that are important to you?”
Toastmaster Jackie challenged us with a speech and demonstration on how to put things important to us first and letting little things (like regular routine) fill on its own, and everything will fit. That being said, we can no longer put aside that next speech or joining a Toastmasters club!
Our first speaker for tonight, Andrew, interpretively read Pierre Elliot Trudeau’s 1982 speech called “The Constitution,” touching on Canada’s many rights and freedoms. Our second speaker was guest speaker Deborah Austin, who made a keynote speech with five big points on overcoming obstacles to becoming a dynamic public speaker. Many of our members can relate to at least one of these five obstacles. The main message she passes on is to keep a service mindset. To find out more details about her, please visit her website.
Mohammed led a lively Table Topics Session, as we had a great turn out with guests tonight, many got to participate. The questions were about simple things that we may overlook in a day but should recognize. Jackie won with her speech on embracing change.
