Theme: Ghosts
WOD: Phantasm

Our Toastmasters meeting, themed around Ghosts with the word of the day Phantasm, was hauntingly engaging! The theme brought out some fascinating, and even spine-chilling, stories as speakers explored the spectral side of their imagination. From sharing personal ghostly encounters to weaving phantasmal tales, everyone embraced the theme with enthusiasm. The word of the day, Phantasm, added a touch of the eerie to our language, making for some creative uses in table topics and speeches alike. The meeting not only stirred up a playful sense of mystery but also enjoyed seeing some members showing up with their Halloween costumes and we got to vote for the best costume!!!

This week's Toastmasters meeting took us on a journey back in time with our theme of Classic Movies, celebrating the unforgettable moments and timeless stories that have left us with a sense of nostalgia. We immersed ourselves in the magic of cinema, revisiting the films that shaped eras and sparked our imaginations!

We had a fantastic and fun-filled meeting where our speaker and conductor, Kristin, demonstrated beat patterns for us! It was also an exciting moment as we recognized some of our members for completing their Pathways levels!

For anyone looking for a change this fall, you are welcome to visit our club at any time!!

Division B WCPS* Watch Party – Was a GREAT Success
WOW!!! What an outstanding experience it was for members of Division B to gather together and enjoy a WCPS* Watch Party (*World Championship of Public Speaking).
There was networking, camaraderie, fellowship and FOOD.
OH… yeah… there was also a WCPS contest that took place. We all really had a great time!
I feel so sad that some of you couldn’t join us because you definitely missed a fabulous time.????????????

Thank you to all who attended our meeting this week and for bringing the spirit of the beach to our Toastmasters soirée. Just like a great party, our meeting was filled with energy and creativity!
Let’s carry this summer vibe with us as we continue to grow in our speaking journeys 🙌
