2018 has been a year full of great stuff, challenges and blessings. It is safe to say that the last one year, I have been the most honored to
serve you all together with my team. We are ending the year with another team that is going to lead us through 2019. I am so excited
about what they have in stock for us. To the incoming team of officers, I wish you all the best and I have faith in all of you under the guidance

 of our President. Each one of you has got great talent and leadership skills. I am over the moon with excitement about what we are all going 

to achieve this year. 2019 is the year we conquer and bring home all trophies! I would love
to see every member come back next year with so much strength and passion to achieve everything and anything they want.

I would like to thank, once again, every one of us for having been so
supportive and participated in the activities that were planned this year.

1Rwanda Pros toastmasters’ meeting-19^th August, 2015

New venue, fresh air and brighter room; those are what we had on August 19, 2015. Tucked in the leafy suburbs of Kiyovu right in the heart of Kigali is Kay Sun Restaurant. All was new and with the best of it, 25 members and visitors attended the meeting to usher in a new dawn, The speaker of the night spoke from the heart has he dissected the sour topic of inheritance, a subject which has seen brothers hack each to death. Sylivin delivered a fantastic speech. Material inheritance is not a good idea. Most of us think that we should always get things from our parents.

With so many examples from the Bible he showed us how material inheritance is not a good idea. Talking about Joseph with his brothers and their fight for wealth he convinced us how we should not rely on our parents’ inheritance. The speaker suggested that we should be proud of love, character and personality from our parents. We had a lot of visitors. Dr. Willy won the crown of bringing in a lot of visitors.

Ely the toastmaster of the day was amazing. He read for us a poem on public speaking as an art. As the theme of the night we gained a lot from his poem.

The grammarian gave us a new vocabulary ALLEGIANCE.
