Very good evening
Fellow TM, Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen.
How are you feeling
today? Awesome!
It is my pleasure to
be your TME today, and as I have mentioned earlier, my name is James Oh from
AFC TM club.
On behalf of Money and
You TM club, I would like extend a warm welcome to all the new, young, old members and thank all the guests for taking your precious time
to attend this fun, food fulfilling meeting.
HISTORY
Let me give all of you
a brief introduction of what is toastmasters international.
Toastmaster was formed
in 1924 by a well respected missionary
gentleman called DR.RALPH C. SMEDLEY, the founder of TI. From a humble
beginning, he started the first Toastmaster meeting at the YMCA in Santa Ana,
California United States. The founder, once said, “Education is our business.
It has been so from the beginning.” Now, I feel proud to play a part in this huge organization.
It does not matter how small is my role, what matters most to me is to keep his legacy alive. Though he had
gone, his spirit is still with us.
Toastmasters
International has then grown to become a world leader in helping people, like you and me, become
more competent and comfortable in front of an audience. The non-profit
organization now has nearly 280,000 members in over 13,500 clubs in 116
countries, offering a mutually supportive, and positive learning environment for communication and leadership skills. Where else you can find
such a wonderful place – it is second to none, I would say.
Bear in mind that you
don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.
Not to perturb your
mind, I must let you know that Toastmasters is the best place to learn, to
build your confidence and competence. So don't worry if you never speak on
stage before. Laugh at yourself first before anyone can. This is the
platform to start your journey to become a good
speaker, writer and thinker. 3 in One package. Come and join us to be a dreamer.
Its first magazine was
published in December 1932 on quarterly basis and Today it is produced on monthly basis.
How do you feel now?
