Halloween Spooktacular

On a dark and fateful October 31 evening, witches and pirates and gangsters gathered. There was a pumpkin, a werewolf, a devil and a hula dancer, a giant spiderman, and more. The music started and they all began to dance — and eat — at the sumptuous buffet. 

A man with an eerie black cape banged a gavel on the lectern. Suddenly there was order and the meeting began. It was Toastmasters after all! We were happy to welcome six guests to our Open House event and welcome our new member, Jeremy to our club.

Ali was our Toastmaster. Darlene shared humour tips to help us tell funnier stories. David and Chamila inspired us with their Pathways speeches on rising like a Phoenix and coping with traffic in Calgary.

Best costumes were: Bentley the gangster, guest Rebecca the Pikachu, and Nandini and Marvin the friendly pirates. Scary Table Topics was led by Wizard Trevor.

Next Open House Event: Tuesday Nov 5 Games night on Zoom and our inspiring guest speaker Meghna Bhagat who will share tips on how to be a stronger speaker.
