The meeting was led by Toastmaster of the Day, TM Abarnah, who brought the Halloween spirit to life with a spooky and exciting theme, setting the stage for an evening filled with laughter, creativity, and a few frightening surprises!

The evening began with an entertaining Round Robin session conducted by TM Loshni, who asked members, “What scares you the most?” The responses were both hilarious and unexpected! While some members admitted to being terrified of cockroaches and snakes, others revealed that their biggest fear was their own future. The session brought plenty of laughter and spooky confessions from everyone.

We then moved on to the Prepared Speech session, featuring two speakers, TM Rehana and TM Damika, who successfully completed their Level 1, Project 3 (L1 P3). Both speakers took another step forward in their Toastmasters journey, showcasing their progress and developing their public speaking skills.

Adding to the excitement, TM Tiresh conducted a fun activity called “Hot and Cold.” Members were divided into two teams, and one member from each team had to perform a task while keeping their eyes closed. The rest of the team guided their teammate using clues such as “hot” and “cold” to help them complete the task. The activity created plenty of excitement, teamwork, and hilarious moments as members tried their best to guide their teammates in the right direction.

The Halloween fun continued with the Table Topics session, skillfully conducted by TM Zeenath, who came up with a series of hilarious topics. Members had the opportunity to think on their feet, unleash their creativity, and entertain everyone with their impromptu responses.

The evening concluded with thoughtful evaluations, where speakers received constructive feedback and valuable insights to support their continued growth throughout their Toastmasters journey. To add a special touch to the Halloween celebration, TM Tiresh received a small token of appreciation for having the best Halloween costume!

The meeting was then adjourned, bringing another enjoyable evening of learning, laughter, creativity, and spooky fellowship to a close.
