Regular Meeting 137, Jan. 24, 2026 (Hybrid)

Today, we held Regular Meeting 137 in a hybrid format.

Thank you very much to everyone who joined us, both in person and online.

This meeting was a special one, featuring the International Speech Competition, the Japanese Speech Competition, and the celebration of the 5th Anniversary of Shin-Osaka Leaders Toastmasters Club.

■International & Japanese Speech Competitions

In both the International and Japanese Speech Competitions, we enjoyed a variety of powerful and inspiring speeches.　Each speaker demonstrated their unique style, strong storytelling, and dedication through their preparation.

The speeches reminded us not only of the importance of effective communication, but also of the growth that comes from continuous learning and practice.

🎉 5th Anniversary Celebration

Shin-Osaka Leaders Toastmasters Club was chartered on January 24, 2021, and today we proudly celebrated our 5th anniversary.

During the meeting, we shared a 5-Year Journey video reflecting on our path so far, as well as warm and encouraging celebration video messages from Toastmasters International leaders.　It was a meaningful moment to look back on our journey and to appreciate the experiences and growth we have shared together as a club.

🌱 Looking Ahead

As we move forward, Shin-Osaka Leaders will continue to be a place where members can challenge themselves, grow as speakers and leaders, and support one another in a positive learning environment.

As I look back on the past five years, I am reminded of how quickly time has passed.　

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has supported Shin-Osaka Leaders.

We look forward to continuing this journey together.
