📚 What a night!

Yesterday at Moscow Free Speakers Club, we had everything we love about Toastmasters:

✨ energy
✨ laughter
✨ real stories
✨ surprising facts
✨ and the feeling that every voice in the room matters.

The theme of the meeting Books: Paper or Digital?  turned out to be much deeper than just choosing between paper books and e-books.
We talked about memories, habits, convenience, personal stories, and why some books stay not only in our memory, but also in our hearts.

Polina, our Toastmaster of the Day, made the evening very interactive.
During the Fact or Fiction game, we guessed facts about books, raised our hands, and checked how much we really know about the world of books.

🎤 A very special moment of the evening was Kseniya's first Ice Breaker speech - "This Is Me".
We warmly congratulate Kseniya on this important first step and wish her a bright, inspiring, and discovery-filled journey in Toastmasters.

Anna gave the meeting a special atmosphere by reading an extract from J.R.R. Tolkien’s Letters from Father Christmas - a small but very warm moment of the evening.

💻 And one more important thing: for the first time in a long while, we had a Zoom connection again.
The meeting became hybrid, which made it more accessible for those who could not join us in person.

Thank you to all participants and to our new guests — Anna, Alex, Daria, Ekaterina, and Manu.
It was wonderful to see new faces and feel real interest in the club.

📅 Our next meeting is on July 16.

See you at MFSC!

💡 Did you know?

The expression comes from old calendars, where important holidays and special occasions were printed in red letters instead of black ones.
