Meadowbank Toastmasters - Tuesday, September 7th (Tonight!) - Welcome, Visitor! See what Toastmasters looks like and what belonging to a club can do for you!

Barry Shaw from Meadowbank Toastmasters

Most people visiting a Toastmasters club for the first time and being asked why they considered coming to the club usually describe themselves as "shy", "unable to talk in front of a lot of people" and "not skilled in speaking".
(Doing this actually starts the change process!) (That's why we ask!)


A few weeks later, they look back at how they began and report their transformation: "I talk to the boss now", "I don't quail at the offer to lead the office meeting" and "I have learned that I can learn"!


These are the success stories I love to hear.


What about you?
Ready to learn and grow?
And succeed?


See you tonight ONLINE on ZOOM.
Meeting ID: 865 3250 8862

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
