We also had a great icebreaker, as Chris McGaffin introduced himself to the members and helped everyone connect even more.

It was another full house filled with fun and laughter! Becky turned up the heat immediately, teaching the audience a rhythmic clap that had everyone humming “We Will Rock You” in no time—a fantastic way to kick off the meeting.

After the facilitators explained their roles, Toastmaster Derek introduced Edward, who delivered an excellent rehearsal speech for the upcoming International Speech Contest in Zhuhai. Good luck, Edward!
