So
what is Toastmasters really like? Here's an article
written by our President, Dr. Irene Evans, about her experience with
Toastmasters:
I
have been a Toastmaster since May, 1978. I joined so that I could
learn
how to do presentations and feel comfortable doing so. Prior to
joining
Toastmasters I would tremble at the thought of doing a speech.
Being a Toastmaster has given me the opportunity to meet many
wonderful
people, locally and internationally. I have attended almost all the
provincial conferences, many regional conferences and, until
recently, the
stimulating, exciting international conventions.
I enjoyed serving as a District officer. Being District Governor was
a
special time in my life. Visiting and working with Toastmasters
around the
Province was a rewarding experience. The dedication of the creative
and
talented group of volunteer officers and club leaders was inspiring.
I
enjoyed the members' stories of how doors opened for them because of
their Toastmaster training.
Why do I stay in Toastmasters? I enjoy meeting people and hearing
their
stories. It is impressive to watch new members improve their
confidence and
communication skills through their participation in the Toastmaster
program.
Many fun-filled moments have occurred while attending club meetings.
At
times, after all these years, I ask myself why I am going out to yet
another
Toastmaster event. It is because I am willing to give my support to
the
members and feel energized when I come home from most events.
What better volunteer work could I do? Fun-filled exciting and
interesting
stories and meeting many wonderful people--what more could I ask.
Dr. Evans led our District to Number 1 in the world in 1992.
