"HAPPINESS IS A GLOW AHEAD"

"Happiness" is "Glow Ahead"
These were the intriguing titles from our two speeches today but before elaborating I want to mention the excellent effort made by our Toastmaster Wendy.  Wendy not only had a special program clear, concise, colourful but also a theme relating to what has happened during the month of March.

"SUNDAY BLUES"

Pania Toastmasters Easter meeting had Helen in the Chair and  she welcomed everyone warmly BUT no sign of a shout with hotcross buns or chocolate easter eggs. Demerit point there thinks General Evaluator David.

"St Patrick's Day Creates a 'SeaWave'"

Thursday 17^th March 2016 St Patrick’s Day:

This St Patrick’s Day themed meeting was led by Mike. It was well organised and was punctuated with humour. Much to the amusement of two members who wore green in honour of the day, they were both referred to as Leprechauns.

"SYNCHRONICITIES"

Area Director’s Visit 10th March 2016;

The meeting began with the Toastmaster of the day, Helen, saying that on March 10^th 1915 a little boy named, Lloyd George Doel, was born and now 101 years later his daughter was the Pania Clubs President and Toastmaster of the day.

"MEET ART DECO @ PANIA"

Napier's famous Art Deco week, what a great theme this was for our February 25th meeting of Pania Toastmasters, hosted by Carol who had the agenda all styled as if it was straight from the 1930'3, bravo!

We were fortunate to have Christine, Steve and Chris come to our meeting and help judge this very important contest. Thanks guy's !
The International Speech is the show case of Toastmaster talent and provides not only a speaking opportunity, but also gives speakers the chance to maybe compete at the World Championship of Public speaking in America. Imagine that !

"LIVING WILLS"

Another hot day.

Thank goodness for air conditioning while we found out all about 'Living Wills'.

The Toastmaster , Barbara , opened the meeting and welcomed members and visitor Ian (from Hastings Club). He gave as good a rendition of the Mission Statement as heard for a long time.
