Wit and wisdom of Jerry Mulcahy still cherished

SPEAKEASY Toastmasters are now approaching the Fourth Anniversary of the sad passing of esteemed member Jerry Mulcahy.

Jerry was a hugely committed and highly popular member of the Club for seventeen years. He served on many Club Committees in various positions, culminating with his Presidency in 2013.

His many speeches chronicled the life of the Irish immigrants in London in the 1950’s. He spoke about surviving on a diet of ‘iffits’ - if it’s there we’ll eat it! He was a fountain of knowledge on the changing face of Rural Ireland through the decades.

So enthusiastic about the benefits of Toastmasters, Jerry established ‘Nice and Easy Toastmasters in the Cope Foundation in Mallow. Over the years, many clients of Cope benefitted from Jerry’s gentle tuition.

He will be long remembered for his wit, wisdom and generosity of spirit. Our thoughts are with his family at this time.

Speakeasy Toastmasters will host its final meeting of the year on Thursday December 12 in the Hibernian Hotel at 8pm. This will be the final opportunity to experience Toastmasters this year and as such offers the chance to see the Club have to offer as a meaningful new pursuit in the New Year.

The skill of good communication is an essential one to acquire and it’s benefits can be felt in all aspects of life - at work, in interviews, in social situations and in leadership roles in sporting and community organisations.
