KeyForce Toasmasters Club

On August 22th, the Keyforce Toastmasters Club had a summer gala 2023!! Current and former Keyforce members and Division Director got together. We enjoyed the self introduction by each participant, special speech session and singing Keyforce song together! Especially, special speech session is first challenge for our summer gala. Keyforce members voted for speeches given at previous regular meetings that we would like to listen again. All participants seems to have enjoyed these speeches! Some photographs of the gala were below.  

We had a regular meeting online on August 8th with 8 members and 1 guest, area director TM Noritake-san! And from this meeting, the new program “ What’s new” started !! This is from TM Richa-san’s idea. Are you interested in how to proceed “ What’s new” ? The president ask each member, saying something like, "What's new, TM XX?".   Then, the member share recent topics happened within one minute. This will serve as a good warming-up for speaking. We enjoyed sharing our recent event !

 The second meeting of the month is supposed to be a hybrid meeting. However, the night of February 21st became online as only a few members was expected to come to the Tokyo Women’s Plaza.

 On February 7 th , the Keyforce Toastmasters Club had a Club International Speech Contest for this term online. We had three fantastic contestants.

Let’s hope her victory on the 26 th .

The second meeting of the month is supposed to be a hybrid meeting. However, the night of January 24th became online as only a few members was expected to come to the Tokyo Women’s Plaza. I guess this is because of the icy coldness of that night. Nonetheless we had another successful session on 24th!   *The word of the evening - "cacophony" provided by TM Jeffrey Anderson
