Important meeting dates – Start time changes !
Please note the following meeting date and time changes for the Stuttgart International Toastmasters:
The June meetings will take place on June 17th (normal third Thursday meeting) and June 24th (out of sequence meeting on the fourth Thursday). This is due to the holiday on June 3rd.
EFFECTIVE JULY 1, THE MEETINGS WILL START AT 19:30. From the recent survey and from other comments and communication, it was clear that an earlier start time for the meeting was desired. Of course, it is also understood that this new start time might not be the best for everyone. But the officers decided to try out moving the start time up 30 minutes. Let´s see how it goes. Please note that the meeting on May 20th as well as the meetings in June will start at 20:00.
Division F contest: Success for Stuttgart International Toastmasters !
Amy, Gisela, Joachim, Monique and Kelly had the privilege of attending the Division F International Speech and Evaluation contests in Wiesbaden yesterday. It was a very full but enjoyable day. There were seven speeches in each of the English and German International Speech contests as well as six contestants in the English Evaluation contest and four contestants in the German Evaluation contest. It was fun, interesting, and educational to see so many great speeches! It was also very nice to get to interact with so many other Toastmasters from different clubs.
As stated in the headline, the members of the Stuttgart International Toastmasters club were very successful at this contest. Here are the highlights:
Amy Hamilton – 1st Place English Evaluation Contest
Joachim Schwartz – 2nd Place German International Speech Contest (even though he was representing the German club, we are still proud of him !)
Monique Raster - 3rd Place English International Speech Contest
Amy will now represent Division F for the English Evaluation Contest at District 59 Conference in The Hague in June. Of course we all know that she has a very good chance of winning there, and we wish here much success. Kelly will also be attending the conference in The Hague, and there is still time to register if you would also like to go. It would be well worth the trip.
