No, not 40 in terms of age… but 40 in terms of membership!

Last March 22, 2010, in a jam-packed meeting that also saw a record EIGHT speakers delivering their prepared speeches (two of which were completion speech projects), members number 39 and 40 were added to the  MMTMC famly. With the induction of two new members: Fiel Meria and Noel Sorreda, ACS-ALB, the Club reached a new high in its membership numbers.

Toastmaster Fiel, who is about to start his graduate studies on Special Education, is a naturally-gifted speaker, and a practicing magician on the side. After his induction as a new member, TM Fiel immediately set about delivering his Ice Breaker speech. Advanced Communicator Noel, on the other hand, joins MMTMC as a dual member (he is currently the Immediate Past President of Cubao Merchants Association Toastmasters Club). ACB Noel has been a frequent visitor and has delivered speeches before the Club in the past. Now, he officially joins the roster of MMTMC members.

Welcome to the MMTMC family — Noel and Fiel!
