Tip of the week 28 August 2007

In writing your speeches, be graphic. Incorporate the 5 senses (taste, touch, sight, hearing, and smell) into what you are saying. By doing this your audience is more likely to remember what you have to say.

August Dinner Gathering

We are going to have a dinner gathering at a Persian restaurant called “Esfahan” in NDG. I may mention that this is not a social event so everyone is going to pay for her/himself. However, I may ask you to kindly confirm your attendance with publicrelations@mcgilltoastmasters.ca so that we would know the number of the people who are planning to go.

Where?
Esfahan Restaurant
5594-A, Sherbrooke West at the corner of Marcil Ave.
H4A 1W3
Tel.: 514-369-2099

When?
7:30 pm. Friday August 24

For those of you who use the public transportation, the best way maybe to take the metro to Vendome station (Orange line) and then take the bus #105 (west direction) up to the corner of Oxford and Sherbrooke and then walk for 100 meters and YOU WILL BE THERE!

Feel free to ask your friends, family members or anyone who maybe interested in spending a night with the McGill Toastmasters Club members, to go with you.
