Speak Your Mind Advanced Toastmasters
SPEAK YOUR MIND ADVANCED TOASTMASTERS
Date: Friday, July 8, 2022 (delayed to 2nd Friday due to Canada Day)
Time: 6:45 pm gather, for 7 pm to 9 pm meeting
Location: Zoom online
Who are We? We love to speak our minds, where every meeting is fast-paced, often irreverent, and always a humorous good time. Jump into the fray and share whatever issue is on your mind. (We have a role for that, called the "Rant".) We welcome guests. Feel free to join us for one of the most dynamic, engaging and rip-roaring fun online meetings you'll ever attend. When meeting online, we host the meetings on Zoom.
Meeting THEME: “Travel Destinations: The Good and the Disturbing” - What seemed incongruous with the beauty, life, excitement, etc. that drew to this vacation destination?
We are drawn to various places as a travel destination for a variety of reasons, from the weather, to the natural environment of beautiful beaches or snow-capped mountains. Or, perhaps you were drawn to the people, the music and the food. But where ever we go, is never just the thing that drew us there. Poverty and financial inequalities, environmental issues, race and culture clashes happen world-wide and these can intrude on the vision of your planned vacation.
Share a 2-3 sentence short story on something you saw or witnessed on a vacation that you found disturbing and why this disturbed you.
Chair: Mariah-Jane Thies

Special note about Advanced clubs: Advanced clubs are primarily made up of experienced Toastmasters who want to grow more rapidly than those in a typical club. They are Toastmasters who want to set a higher bar... and believe us, at SYM, the members are always encouraging one another to raise the bar further and further!
