A big thanks to Shirley Damant, Toastmasters Area 55 Governor, (call her Princess O’Shirley) for having organized the participation of several Montreal Toastmasters clubs in the St. Patrick’s Parade this year. This is the first time that Toastmasters has been in a Montreal parade!
Shirley invited many Toastmasters clubs to attend, such as:
- CN Collaborators Toastmasters
- Excellence Toastmasters
- McGill Toastmasters
- Mt. Royal Toastmasters
- NDG Toastmasters
- Pointe Claire Toastmasters
- South Shore Toastmasters
- St. Lawrence Toastmasters
- St. Leonard Toastmasters
- Ville Marie Toastmasters
- Westmount Toastmasters
She made sure that everyone was well dressed with Toastmasters badges, ribbons, banners, and everything green to show great creativity!
Our very own Pietro di Benedetto (call him Prince O’Pietro) joined in the festivities. Also in attendance were Princess O’Hepta (Division F Governor) and Princess O’Lise (Area 53 Governor).
Thanks for the memories!
We recently had the privilege of hearing a speech from our long-time Toastmasters member Christian, based on The Better Speaker’s Series. He talked about how to prepare a well-crafted introduction that establishes the speaker’s authority and expertise, and helps to set the tone for the speech.
Christian kindly prepared an article on this subject so that it can be of benefit to all of us Toastmasters.
Here is the article prepared by Christian :

These strategies were compiled by our Toastmasters member Elodie, based on an article by Craig Harrison in Toastmaster Magazine entitled Turning the Tables On Table Topics. Elodie won the annual English Table Topics contest at our club in 2010.
Here is the article prepared by Elodie:

Nous accueillons très chaleureusement deux nouvelles membres à notre club St. Lawrence Toastmasters Montréal.
Lorena est représentante en développement d’affaires dans le secteur des équipements médicaux et de laboratoire. Puisqu’elle elle interagit avec une grande clientèle, elle est donc intéressée à améliorer ses habiletés de communiquer efficacement. Et c’est exactement une des choses que Toastmasters peut aider à faire.
Lorena et Héléna accueillies par notre président Mathieu
Héléna est consultante en formation et mentorat professionnel. Ancienne membre Toastmasters à Québec, elle connait bien les bénéfices de l’expérience que Toastmasters peut apporter. Avant de se joindre à notre club, elle s’était fixée une mission de visiter trois clubs Toastmasters à Montréal. Le premier club qu’elle a visité était le nôtre. Ensuite, pour sa deuxième visite de club, elle a décidé de visiter le club St. Lawrence Toastmasters :-). Et finalement, pour sa troisième visite, et forte de ses deux premières expériences, Héléna fut convaincue que c’était bien ici à notre club qu’elle voulait être membre.
Bienvenue à vous deux!
Plusieurs de nos nouveaux membres Toastmasters disent nous avoir trouvé grâce à notre site web, mentionnant que c’est ça qui les a par la suite intéressés à venir visiter notre club.
Êtes-vous intéressé à assister à une de nos réunions du Club St-Lawrence Toastmasters à Montréal?
Voici le programme Toastmasters pour la soirée du 8 mars 2011 .
We’d like to extend a warm welcome to Sophie.
Sophie’s first visit to our Toastmasters club was back in June 2010. However, with family obligations (and the start of school for the kids in the fall), she found it a challenge to fit Toastmasters into her schedule. Determined to make it a priority in her life, she finally decided to become a member of our St. Lawrence Toastmasters club.
We admire you for your determination, Sophie. As one of members Pietro likes to say, “Toastmasters has brought so much to my life, that I wish I had joined Toastmasters 20 years ago!”.
Contrairement à ce qui avait été annoncé lors de la soirée des Oscars de notre Club St-Lawrence Toastmasters Montréal, le gagnant de l’Oscar pour le plus de discours gagnés durant l’année est Mathieu Savage!
Félicitations Mathieu pour un prix bien mérité!
Interested in finding out more about Toastmasters in Montreal? Feel free to come visit the St. Lawrence Toastmasters club at one of our weekly Tuesday evening meetings.
Here is the programme for the evening of March 1, 2011 .
