Toastmasters in French Quarter

The "Open House" held on Saturday, November 19th, at the Conseil de Quartier 1 in French Quarter was well attended. This event was held to showcase what Toastmasters can do for the individual who wants to improve on their speaking and leadership skills.

The Saint-Martin Evolution Toastmasters Club believes that there is a lot of untapped talent and leadership potential in the Community. The aim is to form a new Club in French Quarter where young people 18 years and up can tap into the opportunities available through Toastmasters International.

There were two dynamic speakers, TM Meliya Benders who gave an informative presentation on "the Greatness in You" and TM Shirma France (President) gave a humorous talk entitled "Let's Ride". The Table Topics session gave the guests and members alike the opportunity to do impromptu speaking without breaking out in a sweat. All in all, the session was enjoyed by all and the Club encourage anyone, especially in the French Quarter community to contact us for more information.

The Saint Martin Evolution Toastmasters is a bilingual Club and meets every first and third Tuesday of the month at 7:30p.m. at the Former Evelina Halley School in Marigot.
