It was an evening to remember in our Winnipeg Toastmasters Club!
Twenty people filled the meeting room to hear three dynamic contest speeches. In typical fashion, the audience was inspired and challenged to think about life in different ways. We were challenged to “dust off our dreams” and do it without delay so we won’t live with “what-ifs” in our golden days.
We were inspired by a story of how life can change in a moment and how that event can be a game-changer. We were reminded to stamp out all those messages received over the years about our weaknesses (report cards anyone?) and instead identify and embrace our strengths.
It was a fantastic contest! In the end, Dianne Boulay from UM Masters and Reygel Robles from Wednesdays on Waverly were the contestants selected to move on to the next contest.
This contest was hosted by both UM Masters and Wednesdays on Waverly (WOW). This is WOW’s first year as a Toastmaster club and demonstrated spirit and skill in both the Table Topics and Contest Speeches. UM Masters is thrilled to have WOW as a sister club in Area 12 and look forward to many years of collaborative ventures together!
Both clubs are open and willing to have new members join them on the Toastmaster journey.
Wednesdays on Waverly meets Wednesdays from 12:00 – 1:00 at 1000 Waverly.
