Toasting at toastmasters..
Here is my toast I did at Toastmasters .....
Toastmasters Meeting, 8 February 2006, Toast of Own Choice
I've kept with the theme tonight and asked myself the question :
"What is a real friend?" and "What is friendship ?" which are quite deep questions.
But the New Oxford American Dictionary States that a "friend" is "a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection ..... A person who acts as a supporter of a cause or organization by giving help, financially or otherwise."
Well, we all have certain information each other so we do know each other, and this club bonds us with the mutual feeling that we like to become better communicators, and we like to communicate effectively. By being here we all support this cause, and the Toastmaster organization, financially and otherwise.
So "your honour" it is proven beyond a reason of doubt that according to the New Oxford American Dictionary, we all are indeed true friends to each other, and to Toastmasters, and I would like to toast that by saying.
There are good ships, there are wood ships,
the ships that sail the sea
But the best ships are friendships,
and may they always be !
Cheers to friendship.
