Enjoying the Public Speaking Extravaganza Right at Home

It’s that time of the year again. The Annual Toastmaster's International Convention has rolled into town and is set to kick off with a big bang and amid rapturous applause on Wednesday, August 15th in Orlando, Florida. Now amid the crowded schedule, the business agenda and education sessions there stands an event which definitely classifies as the highlight of the year among the global Toastmaster's community. Yes, you guessed right. It is the prestigious World Championship of Public Speaking. We stand to witness an elite gathering of individuals who are undoubtedly the best speakers in the world as they take to the stage and proceed to captivate the audience with their unique styles of speech delivery.

Well this year the team from Area 65 have come up with a novel initiative and decided that if we couldn't get to Orlando, they would bring Orlando to us by organizing a LIVE screening of the World Championship of Public Speaking at the Advanced Learning Center, Saud Bahwan Group in Wattayah. The event is open to all clubs in Area 65 and is sure to be attended by scores of excited Toastmasters. 

The registration desk at the venue opens at 03:30 PM local time and the event kicks off at 03:45 PM on Saturday, August 18. So be sure you get there in time to watch the first contestant take to the stage and who knows, it might just be the inspiration you need to get on stage next year !

An Iftar Gathering Worth Remembering

Rejoicing our fraternity was an opportunity made a reality. The pleasant warm evening of 6^th August for toastmasters in “Division D” witnessed a first time ever Iftar gathering for the Toastmasters Community in Oman. The event was held at AlHaffa House Hotel and attended by more than 120 people. The atmosphere was abuzz with cheerfulness and the delicious lip smacking buffet catered to all tastes.

The Division Governor Yasser Sulaiman thanked the audience for making the event a success with their presence and highlighted that the opportunity to meet, talk and enjoy such an informal time with each other is beyond description. He thanked the organizing team for the initiative highlighting that together we all can make a big difference. The announcement was met with a round of applause and cheers from the gathering.

The Iftar gathering was a reunion for many pioneering toastmasters who initiated the first seed of toastmasters. They were all mesmerized to get together with their comrades.

Watching the kids running around the spacious hall broke all the barriers and made everyone realize that they all belong to one family.

The gathering generated a great impact among the participants and was described as being enjoyable, wonderful, awesome and cool.  People had a very special moment to connect with their fellow toastmasters from numerous clubs.
