We enjoyed the inspiring meeting despite the small number

of participants.

Since we changed the date of the regular meeting due to

the national holiday, many members had difficulty to make it.

However, we discussed how we organize the contest fruitfully

and the members mostly new ones learned a lot about

Toastmasters Contest Procedure.

Key force club is very eager to host the wonderful contest and

positive to be involved with Toastmaster’s activity.

Area 23 International Speech Contest

Area 23 International Speech Contest has finished with

great results on March 31st!

Representatives from KeyForce TMC won in both English

and Japanese Contests.

English Contest: Mariko Misaka won 1st palce

Japanese Contest: Taeko Hayashi won 2nd place

Both of them proceed to Division B Contest which will be held

on April 14th. Let's cheer on them!
