TOASTMASTER OF THE DAY
Hilton Petaling Jaya
Toastmasters Club # 680290/51
Good evening fellow toastmasters and honored
guests.
It is my privilege and pleasure to welcome you
to today’s meeting of the PJ Hilton Toastmasters
Club. I'd like to extend a special welcome to
our guests who honour us with their presence
today.
<If there are non Toastmasters Guests>
For the benefit of guests who maybe attending
their first Toastmasters Meeting I would like to
give a short history of how Toastmasters came
about. In October 1924, a group of men
assembled by Dr. Ralph C. Smedley met in the
basement of the YMCA in Santa Ana, California,
U.S.A., forming a club “to afford practice and
training in the art of public speaking and in
Hilton Petaling Jaya
Toastmasters Club # 680290/51
presiding over meetings, and to promote
sociability and good fellowship among its
members.” The group took the name
“Toastmasters.” Soon men in other communities
and states asked for permission and help to start
their own Toastmasters clubs. By 1930, a
federation was necessary to coordinate
activities of the many clubs and to provide a
standard program. When a speaking club in
New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada,
expressed interest in forming a Toastmasters
club, the group became known as Toastmasters
International.
Toastmasters International enters the new
century as the undisputed world leader in public
speaking training, with over 10,500 clubs and
more than 200,000 members in approximately
90 countries. In the years to come, more people
than ever will benefit from Toastmasters
leadership and education.
We are in District 51 which comprises of
Peninsular Malaysia.

Toastmasters International offers successful
programs and gives its members valuable
learning experience in communication skills
helping them in turn to gain confidence in
speaking in public.
The objective of PJ Hilton Toastmasters Club is to
ensure that members have the opportunity to
learn communication skills that would turn them
into articulate and eloquent speakers - and the
only way to learn is to do it.
<End of address For Guests>
