Speakers Summit 2019-2020 Aug 24, 2019

What appeared to be a bad omen of a heavy downpour in the morning proved to be good luck for the Speakers Summit 2019-2020. After the heavy rain, it rained registrants at the lobby of Fluor Daniel Building as we had more than a hundred Toastmasters and non-Toastmasters attending!

Shown below are the six speakers that saw action in today's Speakers Summit 2019-2020: Tzarina Saldana, Raul dela Vega, me, Ed Ramirez, Ralph Lim and Neb Perez.

Continental Manila Toastmasters Club 4th Visit

The order of the today's meeting was the reintroduction of the Pathways Learning Sessions to the club members. It did catch me a little off guard though because I thought it would be a regular meeting.

Some of the club members, two of them speakers, had conflict with today's meeting and had to beg off. But was I disappointed because of the last minute change in agenda? Not at all!
