Educational meeting

A New Season,
A New Journey

On August 4, we welcomed members and guests to our first educational meeting of the 2026–2027 Toastmasters year—an evening filled with new beginnings, meaningful stories and shared growth.

Guest speaker Brenton “Payo” Balentien inspired us with his personal journey. TM Junilda and Miloushka Rosario, DTM, each took the stage to deliver an Ice Breaker speech. A lively Table Topics® session followed, before members brought the learning together through thoughtful evaluations.

Members and guests left happy, fulfilled and ready for the journey ahead.
