#induction ceremony, #inspiring speeches #rain
On a rainy day of April, all members gathered at Aoyama Life Learning to enjoy the 349th meeting. The meeting started with the induction ceremony of our newest member, MY. TM MY, welcome to our club!
Our Toastmaster of the Day was TM MK who facilitated another great meeting. We had the pleasure of listening to two prepared speeches:
TM SK delivered his inspiring speech about how despite being told that his dream would not come true, he kept trying hard and defied the odds. Thanks to his perseverance, he is now living in Japan and a valued member of our club.
TM MK delivered a speech title “Mr. Ubiquitous” a beautiful story of how he lived and worked in different places around the world. It was a speech that allowed us to learn a lot about our new club member.
The word of the day was “rain”, a tribute to bad the weather but TM SS also introduced the expression “braving the elements” to commend all club members who came to join this meeting despite the awful weather.
