This week, Camden County Toastmasters was buzzing with energy as we welcomed a full house of members and guests for another engaging evening of learning and growth.
The meeting began with an inspiring thought from Club President, Clifford Matukonis, who shared Aristotle’s quote:
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
Cliff encouraged everyone to keep growing by taking on speeches and different meeting roles. Reminding us that growth happens when we step outside our comfort zones.
Our Toastmaster for the evening, Sean Wall, kept the meeting running smoothly while sharing interesting facts about the Declaration of Independence throughout the meeting.
We also enjoyed a thought-provoking prepared speech by Loan Nguyen, “What Am I Running From?” How a race can challenge your beliefs. What do you want to run towards vs running away from?
The evening continued with Topics of Conversation, led by John Hargrave, and Table Topics, led by Michael Ulrich, giving everyone the opportunity to practice thinking on their feet and speaking with confidence.
Congratulations to this week’s winners:
🏆 Topics of Conversation: Chelsea Sanz
🏆 Table Topics: Sean Wall
Every meeting offers a different opportunity to learn, challenge yourself, and support one another. Thank you to everyone who joined us—we look forward to seeing you at our next meeting!
