Agenda for February 2nd Meeting

Dale Lehner — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 18:17:43 +0000

To all my Toastmaster friends,
Please the open attachment for details concerning the Feb. 2nd meeting. We have several opening including speaking roles. If you have not given a speech recently, please consider giving one at our next meeting.
Fun times are near. It’s time to start thinking about the club speech contest. This is great opportunity to show case your Toastmaster skills.
The Feb. 16 meeting will be our club speech contest . The International & Table Topic Speech Contests are very different. The International Speech is 5-7 minutes long and is a prepared speech. To qualify as a contestant for the International Speech Contest you must have completed 6 or more manual speeches. Unlike the International Speech, the Table Topic Speech is not a prepared speech. All Table Topic speech contestants will be given the same topic to formulate and deliver their speech. For both contests, I will send more details later.
Please consider being a speaker or helping with the contest. You can receive credit in your CL manual for helping with the speech contest on February 16th.

Christmas Speeches…A Call for Help

Dale Lehner — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 22:47:03 +0000

Good day, everyone

My annual company Christmas Dinner Party occurs in January this year. I thought that I should use my Toastmaster skills to speak about the Holiday season with emphasis on the New Year. Almost everyone at my workplace knows that I am with Toastmasters and they will be looking for my newly groomed public speaking skills.

I decided to search for ‘Christmas Speeches’ -and for ‘New Year’s Speeches’- and I was disappointed by the quality of what I read. Granted, I did not spend a whole afternoon searching for something but I did look for a half-hour and did not find the right tone, sentiments, or substance that I thought would be appropriate for a group of people that work together and who do not know each other’s private lives.

Can you help me locate some speeches that express the holiness of the season and also inspires people for the New Year? I will write my own speech and it would be very helpful to have something that I can draw ideas from.

Thanks for any help that you can provide.
