Toastmasters’ founder, Dr. Ralph C. Smedley, once said, “We learn best in moments of enjoyment.” Over the years, many clubs have taken to heart the concept of learning while enjoying, and have gone to great heights, and depths, to practice speaking, and listening, in unusual environments.
In honor of Toastmasters International’s 100th anniversary, this is the ninth in a year-long series of articles commemorating historic milestones.
