*** The comment from TMOD ***

The 554th YTMC regular meeting was called order by energetic voice of TM N.G.

It was our regular meeting, and it became one of the special day in this year.

Joke by TM G.M. was focused on Tall Tale Speech, and everyone laughed with story of Momotaro.

Before the Prepared Speech Session, we could hold one workshop about Tall Tale Speech, because we all Toastmasters will hold Tall Tale Speech Contest in this Autumn,

The workshop including Table Topic Session was hold in energetic way.

TM H.S. the presenter showed image and example of Tall Tale Speech and asked to audience speak Tall Tale.

Many of them raised their hand, and I couldn’t believe their comment before the meeting “I’m shy and it is difficult to speak during Table Topic Session.”

In Prepared Speech Session, our President TM N.G. also hold workshop about making speech.

I was really moved, and I learned the value of speaking in front of a lot of people.

YTMC 25th Anniversary Report

Pocket

2013.06.01

It was my great honor to handle a special meeting to celebrate a quarter-century anniversary of Yokohama Toastmasters club as a master of ceremony.

I would like to take this opportunity, at first, to show my appreciation to all who have supported our club activities for 25 years, as well as attendances of this commemoration.
On this occasion, all current members could look back on our club history in order to look to the future, I belived.
It was an opportunity to acknowledge that our club gave birth to seven sister clubs and a few winners for All Japan Speech Contests  of Toastmasters in Japan.

Especially, I was very happy to welcome TM A as a guest speaker for this meeting.
She was the 15th president as well as one of winners for a domestic contest of Toastmasters.
Her speech encouraged all attendances to challenge to be a better communicator by saying she was a noviece when she joined this club.

I only hope Yokohama toastmasters club can continue to be a club where people with challenging spirits come togather.
