During the summer months, Ladner’s Deltones Toastmasters Club and the Ambassadors-Tsawwassen Mills Toastmasters Club hosted joint meetings. At a recent meeting hosted by the Ambassadors-Tsawwassen Mills, the two clubs had the pleasure of hearing Saveen Hegde, International Speech contestant from India give his award-winning speech, Sew the Seeds of Trust.
Hegde went on to compete on the world stage at the recent 2017 Toastmasters International Speech Contest held at the Vancouver Convention Centre.
Hegde placed first in one of the 10 semifinal speech contests.
It was an exciting evening for the two local chapters to be able to hear an international winner practice his speech at their meeting.
Toastmasters is an organization that teaches speaking and leadership skills by using peer-feedback and self-paced programs. It provides a unique means of learning and improving communicative abilities within an atmosphere of fellowship and fun.
The Ambassadors-Tsawwassen Mills Toastmasters Club has produced many championship speakers and speech evaluators. It meets the second, third and fourth Tuesday (in September, October and November) in the Tsawwassen Mills training room from 7 to 9 p.m. Guests are always welcome and the meetings are always full of laughter, learning and fun.
