DEBATE!

Dear friends!
On February 28 we are going to have the DEBATE! Don’t miss this unique chance to reveal your debate and persuasive skills. Currently we are thinking about the controversial statement for the event.

The participation in the Debate is open to all the members of Toastmasters community, so we’ll have some outstanding speakers from other clubs! Remember there will be two teams (only 3 people in each team), who will agree or disagree with the statement. Don’t hesitate! You are welcome to sign up in agenda!

The results of EBA Inner Speech Contest

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.Buddha

Last Thursday we all had a great pleasure to be part of a big event in the life of our club. We had a marvellous Inner Speech Contest! The participants took a challenge to perform the best speeches for the contest. Let's welcome them: Olga Pustyntseva (Title of a speech: Wheel of Fortune), Svetlana Nesterenko (Title: How to become a human detector), Igor Buinyi (Title: Excitement), Svitlana Stavska (Title: Be aware of your dreams), Valentin Seleznev (Title: Looking for the happiness...). All speakers spent hours, days, weeks or even months of preparation for their performances! Of course, the preparation had to be very serious, because the Judges were very prominent Toastmasters!

Chief Judge: Mark Taylor (DniproHills)

Judges:

Lucy Povaly (ArtTalkers)

Anrey Grischuk (AmCham)

Tanya Nechaeva (ArtTalkers)

Yuriy Karabach (ArtTalkers)

 Maxim Kuzyava (DniproHills)

It was a great meeting, warmly conducted by charming Past Area Governor Yulia Dmytryshyn (TopTalkers).

The winners of the contest are:

1^st place - Svitlana Stavska

2^nd place - Svetlana Nesterenko

3^rd place - Igor Buinyi

Congratulations!
