COVER STORY

English. Children learn it in elementary
school. The conference was completely
in English, including the speech given
by their Governor of Punjab. The title of

her 45-minute talk at the conference, in
front of 700 people, was apt: The Power of
Communication.

She was amazed at how much the
Crescent Toastmasters Club reminded
her of clubs in the States, at how friendly
everyone was, at how much more we have
in common with one another than we would

ever expect, and at how recharged she felt
after spending a week on the other side of
the world. The opportunity truly was a once

in a lifetime event.
Toastmasters unites people in their
desire for better communication—whether
that be in Oregon or in Pakistan. What
path will you choose and where will your

Toastmasters journey take you?
