"COULD YOUR LITTLE GIRL CHANGE THE FUTURE?"

This was the title of Jeanette's speech at Pania's meeting today and it provided the material for an extremely interesting and well presented speech that had a lot of structured argument to persuade us!

"Everybody Hurts" but "Is this A Cure?"

These were the intriguing titles that we had for the contestants in in International Speech Contest held at Pania's meeting today. 12 members attended along with a guest (Past member Jan) and although only two entered the Contest it was a case of "quality not quantity"!

This was the intriguing title given to an Ice Breaker Speech for our newest member Linda at Thursday's Pania Toastmasters meeting. The 'Ice Breaker' is the first speech that new members present and is designed to introduce themselves to their fellow members.

"GET ANGRY EVERYDAY AND GO FOR A WALK-IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH!"

JANUARY 2016- WHERE WILL YOU BE?

Then she asked "What will you be doing?" followed by four further questions, "will you be in the same job?" "in the same house?" in the same suburb or town?" "or at a Toastmaster's meeting?" well that sure got me thinking!

"FUN CAR"

Only the one speech at Pania's meeting on 4th December and what a speech it was! members were welcomed by Toastmaster Ian, who ran a very well controlled meeting to good effect. The Speech was presented by Barbara (now we all know what a great speaker Barbara is and this effort was certainly no exception) it was Project 2 from the "Story Telling Manual" specifically "Speaking to Inform.

AN ICEBREAKER AND ALL ABOUT JACQUI
