Regular Meeting 121, July 1, 2025 (Hybrid)

🎉 Happy New Toastmasters Year!

We kicked off the new Toastmasters year with great energy and new beginnings!

I’m honored to return as Club President — for the first time since 2021–2022. Back then, I had only been in Toastmasters for about two years. Now, with more experience and a broader perspective, I feel ready to serve in a new and meaningful way.

My personal motto is:

“The first job of leadership is to love people. Leadership without love is manipulation.”

With that in mind, I hope to lead with warmth, support, and care throughout this year.

To mark the start of this new term, we had a wonderful meeting full of highlights.

U, who joined in June, took on the role of Table Topicsmaster for the first time — and handled it beautifully.

Ulzii, who joined just in May, served as Timer with no problems at all.Their confident performances showed how quickly our new members are growing.

We also held elections for the VPPR and Sergeant at Arms roles, and we’re happy to report that our officer team is now complete!

Our newly elected VPPR, Stella, is already full of creative ideas for promoting the club — she’s incredibly reliable and motivated. We’re lucky to have her on the team!

Here’s to a year of growth, fun, and leadership together at Shin-Osaka Leaders!

Let's enjoy the ride together!

Maho Hummel President 2025-2026
