Gratefulness & A Journey Out of the Comfort Zone

-

 Today's meeting was successfully led by Toastmaster Frida Gutierrez, themed "Gratefulness". 

We want to congrats Thanh Thao Nguyen on giving her 1st speech: A Journey out of the comfort zone! Her personal stories, thoughtfully paired with impactful visuals and motivational quotes, left us deeply moved.


Angela Yang hosted the Table Topics session, featuring reflective themes around Thanksgiving and the speech content. Everyone, including our guest Kelsey, had a chance to practice their impromptu speaking skills. Kelsey shared, 'I told myself, never underestimate yourself,' a sentiment that resonated deeply with Thao's speech.

We are fortunate to have such a supportive group at Townsend Toastmasters! 

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone ~~~
