I’ve chosen ‘Politics’ as this week’s meeting theme. What is your attitude about Politics?  Do you hate them and avoid them as much as you can, or do you embrace politics and enjoy playing with them?

See you Thursday!

As I suggested last meeting, the theme for this weeks meeting is Video Games!

See you all at the meeting!

Why do we laugh? The answer may seem obvious: because something’s funny! Although that is indeed part of the reason, there’s much more to the subject of laughter than meets the eye (or any other part of the anatomy, for that matter!), and psychologists still find it a fascinating area for further investigation.

If you want to communicate efficiently with other people, it’s essential to have an insight into why people laugh and how to use humour effectively.

Please join us for an enjoyable and educational evening this Thursday as we investigate the topic of laughter!

Meanwhile, check out these YouTube links for inspiration 
• Seinfeld - Bloopers
• The Big Bang Theory - Sheldon Funniest Jokes - Part 1
• Monty Python - Ministry of Silly Walks
• How I Met Your Mother - Season 5 Gag Reel [warning—some suggestive content]

See you on Thursday!

Cheers,

Toastmasters is simply about getting better at public speaking, right?  Well… actually there is a lot more going on than you may realize!  Toastmasters is cleverly designed to teach you MANY different skills.  I’ll spend this meeting showing you what I mean.

See you Thursday!

As the sun shines through this weekend and gives us a glimpse of summer, it may also reignite some fond memories. This week’s theme is all about nostalgia: Remember that awesome summer you spent as a kid? Or that thing that happened to you in primary school that still makes you chuckle when you think about it? Bring your stories and thoughts and let’s relive some of our favourite parts of the 20th century.

This Thursday’s theme is…Colour!

Could you imagine living in a world without any colour? No Way!!!  Colour plays such a vital role in our life that without it our life would be pretty lame!

What do you think about colour? What colour makes you happy? What’s your favourite colour and why?

Regards, Mithun

Thursday’s theme is…books! Nerdy, right? Well, I’ve been a total bookworm most of my life, and I’m sure some of you are too!

Do you love reading or hate it - or are you indifferent? Do you prefer the tactile pleasure of flipping pages, or the soft glow of your E-reader screen? Does the thought of spending hours hunting through a musty, dusty old used book store make you excited, or make you want to gag? Do certain books remind you of certain periods of your life?

We are also very fortunate to have a special guest speaker joining us - Rodney Denno, DTM, ACS, ALS, 2011 Div. B International Speech Winner and President of both Advanced Speakers and Advanced Aurators Toastmasters Clubs.

You won’t want to miss this one!

Cheers!

This week’s theme is: Superstition - What is it and how does it affect our everyday decisions/actions?

What superstitions do you have and how has it impacted your everyday decisions?  What would your life be like with or without superstitions?   Do your friends/family have superstitions that impact your life and the decisions you make?

Thanks everyone and looking forward to seeing you all this Thursday!

Regards, Sonia

This week we will talk about “The greatest inventions of all time!!”

It’s a very exciting theme!  Just look around you and think: “What would my life be today if _____ hadn’t been invented?”

What do you consider to be the #1 invention of all time?

Cheers, Ieda
