Improvised Toastmasters Pin Holder with Clip

After receiving my Competent Communicator pin from Toastmasters, I planned to wear it regularly in Toastmasters club meetings. After all, what better way to promote Toastmasters than to wear it with pride?


Wear Your Toastmasters Pin with Pride

A Toastmasters pin can easily become a conversation piece. When someone asks about it, you can talk about how you got into Toastmasters, enumerate its benefits, and then later promote the organization and your club.

Awarding of the Competent Communicator Pin - The Moral of the Story

Receiving my Competent Communicator Pin from Lolet Gabay at Alabang Community TMC. I've previously received the Competent Communicator certificate as then a member of the ON Semiconductor TMC. My CC "graduation speech" was actually delivered last Jul 4, 2006 at an Engineers' Workshop. The title of that speech is "In the Eyes of Child, A Vision of Hope".

Today, I also delivered my Moral of the Story speech project. The speech is entitled "The Secret of Padre Burgos".

INTRODUCTION

Have you ever wondered why the Crow or the "Uwak", as we call it, has such a bad reputation? This bad reputation is often highlighted in fables or fairy tales.

Somehow this bird is always portrayed as ugly, greedy and generally unpleasant to be with. Now I’m sure that there are many folk tales to explain this bad reputation, but the version that I like best is one that uses a reference from the Bible.


BODY

Who has heard of the story about Noah’s Ark? Okay, everybody has heard of it. It’s about God creating a Big Flood to destroy mankind which has become wicked. But there was a good man named Noah that God wanted to save.

But this story isn’t so much about Noah nor is it about the Ark. It’s about a bird, the Crow in particular, and how it came to appear as we know it today.
