Toastmasters Int’l meeting:

“A better leader, a better communicator and end of day a better person” quotes Area 25 Director Rajesh Venugopal when enquired on how toastmasters has shaped his life in the last 4 years.

Toastmasters International provides a selflearning environment where everyone gets an equal opportunity supported with effective techniques

to improve their speaking skills along with honing their leadership experiences. For this reason the best to get a feel of Toastmasters would be to walkinto one of the nearest clubs and experience the energetic environment and magnetic atmosphere of this 93-year-old non-profit organization.

Toastmasters International encourages memberships through corporate clubs as well as open clubs in both English as well as Arabic languages. Regularly, we conduct demonstration meetings where non-toastmasters are familiarized with mission of toastmasters, proceedings of the meeting as well as membership joining formalities.

On Nov 2, there is a demonstration meeting which will be held in Artistic Yoga Studio, Block 10, Next to Kalavara Restaurant, Salmiya,

Kuwait. This meeting is open to everyone though entry is based on pre-registrations. For registrations, you can contact: Suganda: 66463197 or Rajesh: 94007464
