“You’re scheduled to give a speech in a week or two. You’re sitting at your computer, staring nervously at a blank screen. Countless questions swirl around in your mind: How should I start? How do I get the audience’s attention? Should I use humor? Do I need an outline? How do I conclude?
As a Toastmaster, you have access to resources galore. Each speech project has its own templates and guidelines. You also have mentors to help you over hurdles. But wouldn’t it be nice to have a quick, handy guide to all the basics? A one-stop shop that concisely covers the fundamentals of how to write an effective speech—Speechwriting 101, condensed into a few magazine pages?”
You can read more in the October 2018 issue of Toastmaster magazine, a monthly magazine available to all members.
If you want a friendly and safe environment in Montreal where you can practice giving a speech, then Toastmasters meetings are a perfect medium. Come visit the St-Lawrence Toastmasters Club in Montreal to find out more.

Here is the programme for the meeting of October 23, 2018.
This year our club (St. Lawrence Toastmasters Montreal) is celebrating 70 years of existence!
Here are some fun trivia facts… Did you know that:
– St. Lawrence Toastmasters Club is the oldest Toastmasters club in Canada east of Winnipeg!
– When it was founded in November 1948, it was the only Toastmasters club in Eastern Canada.
– Our club number is 606, i.e. three digits. (Numbers are granted in numerical order.) Club numbers for new Toastmasters clubs chartered today have now reached seven digits.
– Meetings were held in the Central YMCA of Montreal.
(Bonus trivia fact: The first YMCA in North America was the one that opened in Montreal in November 1851.)
Central YMCA in 1980.

Nous aimerions chaleureusement accueillir Karine, qui s’est récemment joint à notre club Toastmasters à Montréal.
Italo (président du club) accueille notre nouvelle membre Karine
Comme à l’habitude, nous aimons demander à nos nouveaux membres ce qui les a incités à se joindre à notre club. Voici ce que Karine nous partage :
Avec Toastmasters, je souhaite développer l’art de m’exprimer clairement, naturellement, mais surtout de manière spontanée pour créer une connection avec l’auditoire. En me joignant au club St.Lawrence, je sais que je pourrai atteindre cet objectif dans une atmosphère amicale et détendue.

Our club (St-Lawrence Toastmasters Montreal) is part of Toastmasters District 61, which support all clubs within the district in achieving excellence. One of the recent great ideas they have put in place is to provide webinars as a powerful training option.
Here is a recording of the first English webinar that was recently offered:
– The Basics of Pathways –
This presentation is great for all new Toastmasters as you venture into the Pathways Program. Learn how to access Pathways and begin your first project. Learn how to submit for approval when you complete Level 1. Are you ready to learn? Are you ready to have fun?
If you’d like to know a little more about the presenter (Cheryl Netterfield), feel free to visit the page on the District website which even provides a Pathways 101 Cheat Sheet for download. It’s a quick reference guide that will help you to log in to the site, select your path, and navigate through your first Pathways projects.
More webinars are added on a regular basis. You can view the list of upcoming webinars here.

L’une des belles idées qu’ils ont mises en place récemment est d’offrir des webinaires pour mieux aider les membres dans leur formation Toastmasters.
Voici l’enregistrement du premier webinaire qui a été donné récemment :
– Pathways 101 : Notions de base pour naviguer facilement –
Oui, il est possible de s’inscrire à Pathways et d’avancer dans le programme sans se perdre dans des dédales informatiques. Cet atelier passe en revue les quelques notions de base qu’il faut connaître pour débuter un parcours dans Base Camp et compléter tous les projets du Niveau 1, sans avoir envie de jeter son ordinateur par la fenêtre.
Pour en savoir plus sur la présentatrice (Kateri Saumure), vous pouvez visiter la page sur le site du District. Vous y trouverez même un aide-mémoire à télécharger sur Pathways 101.
