Fellow Toastmasters:

As announced on our last meeting, our VP of Membership and our Co-VP of Education are leaving the Executive Committee as of December 31st. Hence, on Wednesday December 4th we will be electing two new executives.

On behalf of LVTM, I want to take this opportunity to thank Yasemin and Wayne for their support to our Club and wish them success on their future endeavours.

I also want to invite all our active members in good standing to attend to this meeting in order to cast their votes and volunteer their names as candidates.

Elections will be held at 6:15 sharp and then we will proceed with our regular meeting. According to the Toastmasters Constitution, proxy votes are not allowed on this kind of election and no specific quorum is required.

I hope to see you all on Wednesday.

Yours in Toastmasters,

Rene Mendizabal, CC. ALB

President, Liberty Village Toastmasters 2013 – 2014

Recap for Nov 27, 2013

Posted on November 28, 2013 by libertyvillagetm

By Tracey,

Our Toastmaster, Manu, discussed how he only accepted the role of Toastmaster on Monday night after fellow toastmaster member and friend, Yuri, asked to trade roles with him. At first, Manu said ‘no’ but shortly after that he realized he said ‘no’ only because he was anxious about being the Toastmaster. Manu expressed to everyone how you should take risks and conquer your fears, because doing so will bring you happiness! Manu concluded by saying, “People spend all week waiting for Friday, all year waiting for summer, and all their life waiting for happiness! Get out there, take risks and be happy!”

Max was the first speaker of the night, and spoke about the ‘Hidden Epidemic’ and how we all are subjected to it! Max explained that sitting has been linked to obesity, diabetes and cancer! We sit all the time: at work, at home, on the TTC, even at Toastmasters we are sitting! The human body was not meant to sit, and some of the greatest intellectuals, like Benjamin Franklin, would always stand! Max encouraged all of us to stand more, and to become more active! Catch phrase: “Stand up for your health!”

Wayne then spoke about the roles and responsibilities available at Toastmasters. Wayne did a wonderful job conducting audience participation! Wayne’s enthusiasm for Toastmasters was evident throughout his speech! Great job Wayne!

Table topics winner and guest Zara discussed her love for winter!

By Clem D,

Today are room exploded with ten new guests with half of them signed up to become members next month. We look forward to helping you along with your success in Toastmasters.

Tracey did a great job as Toastmaster for the first time. She spoke about “Pop Culture” and how it has become very influential in the way our society thinks and makes their choices. President Obama’s first election campaign is a great example of this proof.

Jackie’s Ice-Breaker speech was very inspirational as she spoke about her current job that was birthed out of a desire to find purpose to her life and in that; her happiness and self-worth.

Yury encouraged us to invest in our own future financially and through “Green initiatives”. In doing so, we need to research and understand that whatever or whomever we invest in, should be beneficial to our future.

Clem closed us off with a story about doing the unthinkable and living to tell other about it. No matter how big the mountain may look or how crazy your idea may be, don’t let fear hold you back from achieving your goals.

Great job from all our evaluators.

Profound Feedback from one of our guests: “Every time I come, I leave learning something different; a life lesson.”
