Our first-anniversary meeting!
This was our first-anniversary meeting. Congratulations, Shin-Osaka Leaders!
The Shin-Osaka Leaders Toastmasters Club was officially awarded a charter on January 24, 2021, and we celebrated our first anniversary in a very meaningful way, our regular meeting. :-)
Some clubs celebrate their first anniversary in a really festive mood. But, hey, it's just a year. It's not a big deal. What's more important to us is that the members are learning something new, something valuable, and that is provided in our regular meeting. That's why we did not do anything ceremonial.
Yet, we did have something commemorative. One of our project speakers, our Vice President Education, Mit, made a congratulatory speech on our first anniversary and he did it beautifully. He touched upon various aspects that symbolize our club and delivered a brief yet complete speech. In the Table Topics Session, our founding president, Hide-chan, asked members to speak on such topics that make the speaker think about the past year and look into the future.
The other three project speakers were great as well. Our first speaker, Yuki, or Ms. Everywhere as we know her, introduced our newly launched Podcast and Viedo series, "SOL Public Speaking Studio" that she co-hosts with Hide-chan. (The first episode of the series is available here.) The second speaker, Chinami, who has been busy with work and unable to join us much, demonstrated how she took her public speaking skills to the next level. Her speech blew a lot of us. The third speaker, Mariko, talked in a hilarious manner about her experience of not being able to take appropriate actioins when an acquintance got injured while walking their dogs.
Now we are in our second year as a club and we look forward to more fun, educational, and inspiring meetings in the months and years to come!
