Speechathon & 4 New member Inductions!

 

We have had another special meeting last night with 20 plus guests and members braving the cool Autumn night to attend.

We started the meeting be Inducting 4 new members into our club! A big welcome to Sonya, Lo'i, Tess & Akesa! It's lovely to have you all as part of our growing club.

We also held a Speechathon. With many new members joining our club recently, we thought it was a good opportunity. Holding a Speechathon gave them the chance to start their Toastmasters journey by delivering their first ever speech project. We had 5 outstanding speeches, which were both inspiring and heart wrenching giving us a glimpse of their life experiences. Having members share these touching personal stories is a real credit to the environment and club culture that we cultivate in our supportive club 💙 

It was a memorable night, and personally I can't wait to see these new members gain their wings and start flying! 

New Members Galore!

We have had an influx of new members at our Alpine Toastmasters Club this last month, with 4 new members joining in March, and another 5 set to join in April. And we are only half way through the month!

We are however sad to farewell Amber Lee, as she moves to Christchurch. But we are hoping she'll stop by online now and then to say hello.

Our new members have brought with them lots of enthusiasm and positive energy into our club. And we can't wait to get them started on their journey.

In a couple of weeks time we will be holding a Speechathon, to help get them all started. A Speechathon is a special meeting where we do more prepared speeches than we normally do. We are aiming for 6 or 7 instead of 2 or 3! Our new members will be challenged to present their first prepared speech to the club called the Icebreaker. This project is designed to practice speech structure, and have the members introduce themselves to our club. It's always a special milestone, and we look forward to hearing their stories.

Here we are as a group at our last meeting on the 1st of April with our members and guests. 

Interested in coming along for a look? Get in touch, we'd love to show you what Toastmasters is all about!
