This is the chance to introduce your friends and loved ones to Toastmasters and give them a peek into the exciting world of Toastmasters. We will have some prepared speeches and hope to get some local prominent people to speak at our anniversary.

Stuttgart International Toastmasters Club Christmas party!
The Christmas party of the Stuttgart International Toastmasters Club will take place on Thursday, December 16th.
This will be a social event to celebrate and get together. Table topics will be organized but there will be no prepared speeches. This will be a dinner event, but we will be ordering food from the IBM Klub Restaurant. We will be meeting in our regular meeting room to accommodate as many people as possible, but we will try and rearrange the tables so that it is more compatible to a dinner type of event.
The party will take place at the IBM Klub, Schönaicherstr. 216 (as usual !)
At what time ?
– 07:30PM
What should I do ?
– invite guests ! This is a wonderful opportunity to discover the club for newcomers !
– send a confirmation email of your presence to president (at) toastmasters-stuttgart.com as well as the number of guests you bring to help us organize the party
– we would also like to continue with the “White Elephant” gift exchange that was already organized last year. These type of gift exchanges are always a lot of fun, and most often you end up with something you like.
If you don´t know what a “White Elephant” gift exchange is, come to the meeting and find out. For those who would like to participate, bring a wrapped, inexpensive gift (7-10€). If you do not want to participate, that is ok too.
We hope to see you there !
