Sharing is truly caring!

During our meeting today, we shared stories, humour, advice, experiences, and even cookies! A comment we always get from our guests and members is how we are constantly able to create a supportive, friendly environment for people to grow and thrive in. We attribute that to our encouraging community and the values we build each meeting on: honesty, trust, and constructive feedback.

Our members didn’t even hesitate to share their spirit to make today’s meeting a successful one. Our president and chair decorated the room and brought props fit for the theme of ‘O Canada, eh?’ Some stepped up and filled available roles. Others pushed their boundaries and volunteered for an impromptu Table Topics speech.

The contributions continued during our business session, where the executives shared their plans for the new term with the members and the members, in turn, shared their views. We realize that any major change needs to be a majority rule and that everyone should be given the chance to voice an opinion. Keeping this communication between executives and club members going is crucial to designing a club plan that includes each member’s own individual goals. We want our meetings to be a venue for all members to achieve their targets. After all, that’s why we joined Toastmasters, right? :)

I also want to mention that after our next session, July 20, 2013, we will be attending Amacon Mississauga Rotary Ribfest! It will be just outside the library in Celebration Square. This is a chance for us to mingle amongst lots of food and live entertainment. Feel free to bring any guests! As always, we welcome any comments or thoughts about how we can serve you better. See you all on the 20th!
