Speakeasy Toastmasters meeting

Speakeasy Toastmasters held their first meeting of 2006 on January 12th. John Dillon was Toastmaster while Mary Buckley acted as Topicsmaster. The first speaker was Noel O’ Connor who delivered the fact-finding report project from the Speaking to Inform Manual. Noel’s report concerned the problem of refuse disposal and possible solutions to this problem. Following Noel was Club President Angela Sheehan who described the mishaps she and her husband Denis experienced in moving to Canada over ten years ago, in a project from the storytelling manual.
Following Angela was Jerry Mulcahy, completing a project from the humorous speeches manual. Jerry described the difficulties experienced with his “friends”: his teeth. Then Loretto Barry delivered an education session concerned with speech organisation. The general evaluation session was conducted by Tim Ahern. Forthcoming events include:
