Speaker - Hong

Hong - Icebreaker Speech. Hong introduced herself to the audience, she talked about how she came to US, and when she was offered an exciting career opportunity, she realized she needed some help from toastmaster to take her communication and leadership skills to the next level. Great job Hong, that’s truly a sincere and wonderful first speech!

Kids’ Opinion Matter

I thought this meeting was very enjoyable today because we had a lot of good news and reasons to celebrate! One of the things I most enjoyed about this meeting and I think most people liked it as well, was the table topic. As Bill said, “It makes me feel good helping other people”.

As to celebrate having the club chartered, we will have a party! So kids, think of some party ideas like bringing some toast to eat at the party. - Kate
