Welcome to this "Happy 90th Anniversary Toastmasters International" newsletter! Did you know that it is 90 years this week since the first Toastmasters meeting was held at the YMCA in Santa Ana, California? The organisation grew out of a single club, Ralph C. Smedley's Smedley Chapter One Club, which would become the first Toastmasters club.
The official anniversary is on Wednesday, 22nd October, and it marks the beginning of a yearlong tribute that will be celebrated in clubs across the world. From that one club, the organisation now stands at more than 313,000 members in more than 14,650 clubs in 126 countries!
Looking ahead to...

Regular Meeting report for 8 October 2014
On a rather damp and dreary evening, club president Cat opened what turned out to be a fun-packed meeting with an anecdote based on her recent experience of hosting an Annual General Meeting. She explained how treating your audience as if they're the most important people in the world can make them hang on your every word. Cat then handed the meeting's proceedings over for David, the Toastmaster of the meeting, to take forward.
