KeyForce Toasmasters Club

 On 11/15 we had the 9th regular meeting which was a hybrid one starting from 19:00.  This night, TM Tokky Mariko made her debut as a prepared speech speaker by delivering her “Icebreaker”. The Icebreaker is a self-introduction speech and the very first one that every new Toastmaster must perform before making any other prepared speeches. TM Mai Araki, Tokky’s evaluator, praised her for making the audience laugh within a minute from the start of the speech. Mai knew that making people laugh by an English speech was not easy. Tokky also went through her speech without the help of speech notes. It was a great accomplishment! By the way, are you interested in our club? If so, feel free to contact us and be our guest to start with! I am looking forward to listening to your Icebreaker eventually.

On 11/1 we had the 8th regular meeting online starting from 20:00. (I personally was late to come by 30 minutes,,,) Although we had no human guest this time, we had a special non-human guest. That was Shin-san’s cat! His (her?) meowing made us smile and provided a cordial atmosphere. This kind of accidental guests was a beauty of the online meeting. But I failed to take a picture of his cat. What a shame,,,. It was not the last online meeting so I should be able to have another opportunity. I need to stay prepared for anything to happen.
