Meeting started with the regular meeting program in a positive atmosphere as usual. Four Table Topic speakers gave impromptu speeches from various point of view. Four prepared speakers also made meaningful and valuable speeches followed by useful and constructive evaluation. Regular meeting is the place to practice making speeches, performing leadership, and the most basic and effective activities of Toastmasters. Let’s join the regular meeting as much as possible.
