What a delight to hear new and seasoned speakers deliver captivating speeches at the Vancore Toastmasters annual Speech and Evaluation contests on Wednesday, March 14th!
So inspiring to see members step up and showcase how much they have evolved as speakers (half of the contestants are brand new members only within the last four months!). Their dedication to consistent practice at weekly meetings and implementing feedback from evaluations showed in their delivery of winning speeches and evaluations.
